Last week the new streaming service from ESPN rolled out. This new service called ESPN+ gives you access to a ton of additional sporting content. Yet many people have been upset that it does not offer ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, etc. Many had hoped to use this service to replace their current cable TV bill.
There is good news though. ESPN offers streaming options for cord cutters just not through ESPN+. Think of ESPN+ as an add-on that gives you even more content.
ESPN is on almost every live TV streaming service: Sling TV, PlayStation Vue, Hulu, YouTube TV, DIRECTV NOW and others. Let’s take a look at some of the options.
Sling TV
If you want inexpensive, Sling TV has you covered. You can get ESPN and ESPN2 for just $20 a month. Want ESPNNEWS, ESPNU, and SEC Network? For an extra $5 a month, you can get their sports package for access to every ESPN network.
Sling TV offers a 7-day trial allowing you to test it out before you pay for it.
