Has anyone with YouTube TV activated ESPN Unlimited yet?

YouTube TV has been added to the menu queue for ESPN Unlimited even though they haven’t yet made the official announcement that it’s live, they still might be integrating it. But I tried following the steps and activating it yesterday and it didn’t come on for me yet

Steps on your iPhone are: Open the YoutubeTV app > Click your account icon in the top right > Settings > Sports > Toggle Connect ESPN on. Click Connect on the popup and it will ask you to login to ESPN with your ESPN account (you'll have to sign up for one if you don't have it), then you can opt to connect your fantasy sports data (if you do that and want that in the Youtube TV UI) and then click Connect (I think, I can't remember but it's whatever is at the bottom). Then when you login to the ESPN app with your ESPN account info, you will have ESPN unlimited.
It went live on Monday and seems to be working for me. I think there are plans to integrate all of the content into YTTV interface but that hasn’t happened yet and you have to use ESPN app for now.

Can I ditch the ESPN + membership after doing this? I'm assumming the ESPN app will work like it did before, but instead of using an ESPN subscription, its linked to the YoutubeTV account?

Yes but you won’t have MLB.TV under YTTV as part of ESPN unlimited. The YTTV carriage agreement was signed before ESPN added MLB to the unlimited pkg. Other than that, everything is same from what I can tell.

I did it for my kids to watch summer slam, took quite a bit of steps that seemed like an endless loop at one point but it worked.

Yes, per Gemini AI: Yes, you can cancel your standalone ESPN Select (formerly ESPN+) subscription once your YouTube TV account is connected. Because your YouTube TV base plan provides access to ESPN's direct-to-consumer features/ESPN Unlimited, keeping a standalone ESPN Select subscription active would result in paying twice for overlapping content.
I cancelled ESPN+, now known as ESPN Select, once (I think) I successfully paired ESPN and YouTubeTV. It was on annual, so I won't know for sure if all is well until the November renewal date passes.
