I accidentally subscribed to ESPN+ when I tripped in my living room, landed on my phone, and auto-filled my contact and payment information after inadvertently clicking on a banner ad for the service. I’m sure it’s happened to quite a few on here too.

Is the bundle going up? If so I’ll just get rid of Disney+ and Hulu while keeping ESPN+. The amount of football/baseball games makes it worth the price alone.

Is it worth it? I legit don't have a sports streaming service. Like can you watch live NFL and NBA games if they aren't on ESPN?

The streaming delay from the live event needs to be resolved.

I don’t need to watch it two minutes after it happened.

Still cheap considering $9.99 gets you PGA Tour Live and UFC.

And some good docs like the avalanche Red Wings rivalry and the And1 Tour

I wasn't a subscriber at 4.99 and definitely will not be at 9.99

What a waste

I always think I’ll un/resubscribe to streaming services after the season or whatever, but I never do.

ESPN: Hey remember that college football sport you loved? We are going to pour a ton of money into it!

Subscriber: Great

6 Months Later

Subscriber: Hey, you’re kind of ruining the sport

ESPN: Remember that money we poured into the sport? We’re gonna need you to pay 40% more. Sorry lol. See you in the fall since this is the only way to watch your team.

Pay $9.99 for the privilege of paying $75 for a PPV. Screw ESPN.

nfl for sure no.

i don't do much NBA so i'm not positive.

there are some decent series on there and alternative sports if that's your thing, but only use it for Tennis, Womens NCAA basketball ( for my wife, no pics,) and if another game is running long and they aren't going to cut coverage, they'll show some games on there. some NCAA FB on there, but not usually big games.

it's definitely not what you want for basic game coverage of the big 3 sports.

i only have it because of the D+/Hulu/ESPN bundle. it's not a terrible thing to have, but i very rarely use it from April - September.

Price it low for a few years while everyone cuts the cord….all streaming raising their prices to where cable makes more sense again. It’s why I never cut the cable to begin with…shite was inevitable
