Dish Network‘s Sling TV is giving you a way to watch ESPN — for less than Disney.

Sling TV has launched Sling Essentials, a new internet-streaming TV package touted as having the “unbeatable price” of $19.99/month for ESPN, ESPN2 and 10 other entertainment channels. The company boasts that it “offers the most cost-effective way to livestream ESPN and ESPN2.”

Disney offers the stand-alone ESPN Unlimited service for $29.99/month, which in addition to everything on the ESPN and ESPN2 linear networks includes ESPNU, ESPNews, ESPN Deportes, SECN, SECN+, ACCN, and ACCNX — plus thousands of additional live sporting events per year.
