USA Today is launching a sports-only subscription product called Sports+ that will ostensibly compete with the likes of The Athletic.
Sports+ launches in seven markets today — Arizona, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Indiana, Michigan, Tennessee, and Wisconsin — all of which have an NFL team. The launch of Sports+ is to coincide with the start of the 2021 NFL season, which kicks off Thursday night on NBC.
USA Today is bringing in former ESPN NFL reporter Josina Anderson as a senior NFL insider.
Sports+ is free for existing digital subscribers of certain Gannett properties in launch markets, including The Indianapolis Star, Detroit Free Press and The Enquirer. For others, it will cost $4.99 a month, with a discount of $2.99 a month for those that sign up for the whole year.
Sports+ is part of the paper’s new subscription strategy first announced back in July.
