I think one issue that gets overlooked in these threads is that the ESPN app exists on a lot of different platforms. iOS, tvOS, Android, various smart TV systems, Roku, etc…

Some work better than others. Some have different issues. In my experience the easiest/most reliable way to stream is in a desktop browser window but that doesn’t always cut it.

I’ve always been able to get it to work, but I’ve also run into login hiccups like OP described where I have to sign out/back in several times. I’ve also run into cases where it gives me the “your event hasn’t started yet” window and won’t go away until I log out and log back in.

My biggest gripe with ESPN streaming is that they only deliver 2-channel stereo audio on the apps/website, even if the actual broadcast is in 5.1 (as it is for most nationally televised events).
