ESPN+ gives you loads of content for every sport—besides NBA—including nine NFL games
ESPN+ Review
ESPN+ is a sports streaming service with live game coverage, on-demand series and documentaries, and exclusive latest news articles on lots of sports. And ESPN+ gives you all this for only $11 a month. (That's almost the price of a game beer!) There's no wonder why it's the most-used service for sports streaming,
It's football season, and we're ecstatic to say that you can stream lots of NCAA college football games with ESPN+. And for the first time ever, most Monday Night Football games will be available on ESPN+ this 2023 season.
Do you consider yourself an ultra sports fan? Then this streaming service is for you. Read on to find out everything you need to know about ESPN+.
How much does ESPN+ cost?
An ESPN+ subscription is $11 each month or you can choose to order the annual subscription for $110.
Either way, we definitely recommend the yearly subscription to save $20 if you're a sports fan because it's inevitable that you'll keep this streaming service all year long.
Can you really put a price on access to lots of sports content? We're talking entertainment for hours and keeping you up-to-date on the latest sports news.
And here's a bonus: if you love Disney+ and Hulu's (with ads) on-demand content, you can bundle all three streaming services for $13. If you want zero ads, you can upgrade for $7 more.
You'd save about $13 total than if you were to get all three individually. Over the course of a year, that's $156 you could put toward a new Travis Kelce jersey.
Does ESPN+ have a contract or fees?
Other than the monthly subscription fee, ESPN+ has no contract or fees whatsoever. Woot!
Which sports can I watch on ESPN+?
ESPN+ has live game coverage, articles, and clips for not only popular sports but also a bunch of sports that don't get much attention.
ESPN+ shows live games for 20+ sports, such as tennis, soccer, golf, and MMA. ESPN+ doesn't air live NFL or NBA games unless you sign in with your TV provider (besides MNF this 2023 season).
Are you a fan of rugby? ESPN+ has it. Is your cousin on an NBA G League team? ESPN+ has your back. Does your family love to watch the WNBA? ESPN+ at your service.

Although there isn't much NFL or NBA game coverage, there is a whole section dedicated to basketball news, fantasy football articles, standings, stats, and scores.
If you're a UFC, MMA, or boxing fan, then you might already have ESPN+. To get pay-per-view events, you'll need to be an ESPN+ subscriber.
Then, you'll have to pay that extra $80 for the actual PPV event. But it's a small price to pay to watch Islam Makhachev or Charles Oliveira.
Which NFL games are on ESPN+?
The 2023 season marks the first season NFL games will be available to stream on ESPN+, and those include most Monday Night Football games.
This new change makes access to NFL games more affordable, but also not. Yes, we can watch Monday NFL games for $11 per month, but even if you have the ESPN channel through your TV service, ESPN+ is the only place you can catch the international Week 4 game between the Atlanta Falcons and Jacksonville Jaguars.
How does ESPN+'s interface work?
When you open your ESPN+ app, the home tab is going to look a little similar to Netflix or Hulu. There are horizontal rows of suggestions such as Live Games, Top Picks, Upcoming, and Films Spotlight.

Under the Films Spotlight category is where you'll find Once Upon a Time in Queens, The Captain, and Yankees-Dodgers: An Uncivil War. For Featured Series, you'll find Peyton's Places, Welcome to Wrexham, and Bananaland.
And you won't have to worry about missing a game or not having a DVR because you can replay any of the matches or games you missed while you were at your kid's basketball game.
ESPN+ makes it easy to use with all of its tabs at the top of the screen.
Most are self-explanatory, but you can find Featured and Browse. You can sit back and enjoy 30 for 30 documentaries, E:60, or SC Featured under the Originals tab.
And we also like the convenient guide under the Schedule & Replays. You can see which games are live now or upcoming, and you can also filter your guide by which sport you want to watch.

How do you watch ESPN+?
This streaming service is compatible with almost any device, as long as you're able to download the ESPN app. Fortunately, you only need one app to access ESPN and ESPN+.
No need to worry about using too much space on your phone. You can keep all of your shopping apps.
Just open up your ESPN app and tap on the ESPN+ tab, and voilà! You're in. Now you can watch your HD content on three simultaneous streams.
Here's a list of all devices that can stream ESPN+:
- iPhones, iPads, and Apple TV
- Android smartphones, tablets, and smart TVs
- Amazon Fire TV and tablet
- Roku devices
- Xbox and Playstation
- Samsung Smart TVs
- On the web (ESPN.com)
If you want to stream the ESPN channel, you have to sign into your TV provider account on the ESPN+ app. ESPN+ is compatible with almost every TV provider, so that won't be a problem.
But that also means you have to actually have a TV provider to watch anything besides the live game coverage—like ESPN talk shows.
So ESPN+ won't be a cable TV replacement. You'll also need to sign in with your cable TV provider to watch the live NBA and NFL games on the ESPN channels (since ESPN+ doesn't have rights to their games).
In short, think of ESPN+ as a bonus to feed your sports addiction.
Recap: Is ESPN+ worth it?
All right, let's lay it all out again. For $110 per year, you get the following with ESPN+:
- Live game coverage for more than 20 sports in HD. Oh yeah.
- On-demand series and documentaries like Man in the Arena: Tom Brady and 30 for 30 movies. There go our Saturday nights.
- Exclusive latest news articles on lots of sports. Analysis—yes, please.
Unless you're a fan of only NFL or NBA, this streaming service is worth it. If you can't get enough sports we understand—because neither can we.
