Anime enthusiasts and sports fans in the U.S. have a new streaming option with the launch of the Crunchyroll Fan Tier x Fox One bundle, a partnership between Sony’s Crunchyroll and Fox One. Priced at $23 per month, this limited-time offer provides a significant savings of 23% compared to subscribing to both services separately, with Crunchyroll’s ad-free plan costing $10 and Fox One priced at $20 monthly.
This unique collaboration reflects a growing trend in entertainment consumption. A recent study conducted by Crunchyroll and the National Research Group revealed that 54% of Gen Z globally openly express their love for anime, positioning it just behind prominent athletes LeBron James and Serena Williams in popularity. This indicates a robust market potential for combining anime with sports content.
Fox One offers a diverse range of programming, including Fox News, Fox Sports, the Fox Network, Fox Business, Fox Weather, FS1, FS2, Fox Deportes, and local Fox channels, catering to a wide audience with varied interests.
As the world’s leading anime streaming platform, Crunchyroll boasts over 21 million subscribers. The platform is renowned for its extensive library that includes beloved titles such as Dragon Ball, Naruto, and My Hero Academia, as well as newer series like Black Torch and One Piece Heroines.
This marks the second bundle announcement for Crunchyroll this year; earlier in the summer, they introduced a similar package with Starz. Looking ahead, fans can anticipate the availability of Crunchyroll on select vehicle entertainment systems, allowing them to enjoy their favorite anime while on the road.
