There was what I would consider a fair amount of poor reporting about the availability of ESPN Unlimited for customers of Pay TV companies. Here is the sad truth for many people. ESPN Unlimited is available to a handfull of large TV providers but is not exactly Universal. The officially announced ESPN Unlimited partners are listed below. Keep in mind ESPN Unlimited is available via the updated ESPN App, not a channel in your video guide.
- DIRECTV
- Fubo TV
- Hulu + Live TV
- Spectrum
- Verizon FiOS
But I have ESPN through my provider. Doesn’t that mean I have the new ESPN service?
No. ESPN rushed this service out before it made blanket deals with some of the biggest TV providers in the country, including even Comcast. Other notable companies not in the family yet include YouTube TV and Sling TV.
I can sign in to the ESPN APP with my cable login. Does that mean I have ESPN Unlimited?
No. ESPN has long authenticated its channels through its multiple TV partners. And this gives users access to a ton of content, including access to channels they pay for through the app, along with ESPN3, ESPN+, and more. But ESPN Unlimited is a new service that includes all of those things plus the NFL Network, Redzone, WWE PLE’s and other content.
Are you saying even if I am an ESPN customer through my Cable company or streaming company, I may not have ESPN Unlimited?
Yes. For your own reference, I would specifically check with your provider to find out if it is included or not. ESPN may not list every regional provider with whom they have inked deals on their latest list, as seen above. We advise you to contact your individual provider for more information.
How much is ESPN Unlimited if I have to pay for it?
It costs $29.99 per month.
