ESPN is considering charging between $20 and $35 a month for the new streaming service, which could make it the most expensive streaming service in the US, the report added.

Amazon.com, Walt Disney and ESPN did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.

In July, Disney CEO Robert Iger told CNBC that his company wants to keep ESPN and look for strategic partners to form a joint venture or buy a stake in the sports network to help take it directly to consumers.
