ESPN is the absolutely worst sports "channel". Their streaming app is worthless and definitely not worth a single penny of what they charge you. Everything from the programming to the "shows" and the... See more

This isn't the first time the timing…

This isn't the first time the timing has been woefully inadequate. Now we have the NHL Stadium series delayed for some college-level orange bounce ball game. In order to access it, one had to log into the American Sign Language feed for ESPN. Quit covering NHL games if all you are going to do is screw fans over. The normal SPNs do that plenty

stephen a smith is a lebron hater

hi, love espn nba coverage except for stephen a smith. despite his fake denials he is obviously a lebron james hater. and he obviously dislikes him on a personal level. he denigrates him with disgusting passion, he's having a phenomenal season but rather than analyse his outstanding performances smith would rather criticise him. its ugly and reflects badly on espn. regards john santolin canberra australia

ESPN+ is a trash service

ESPN+ is a trash service; absolutely bottom of the barrel. Constantly freezing; none of my other apps do that, not even regular ESPN. Total theft of subscription money.

False Blackouts

Games are getting blacked out that are only televised in Florida on Scripps and Canada on Sportsnet when I live in SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. It happens all the time. How is this is happening and why? Fix your software ESPN. This is unacceptable

I used to love ESPN

I used to love ESPN in the Rich Eisen / Stu Scott days, they were really a great network then. However, for the past 10-15 years it has become completely unwatchable. Their shows are pointless, their commentators are biased and rarely understand the sport they cover, and the highlights on YouTube are actually a joke. No one takes this channel seriously anymore and they might as well shut it down.

What happened to this network?

I had been a fan of the network since it came on the air, but ESPN has been unwatchable for quite some time now. I only tune in if there is an actual sporting event I want to see and there are no other alternative platforms to watch it. Outside of that it's all nonsense programing; self important "analysts" filling time by yelling at the screen and each other or pandering to whatever crowd or person they're trying to impress.

No Cancellation Without Account Email

Was told I could not stop my subscription due to not knowing the account email, although I had ALL payment details and account holder information. Was forced to cancel through my bank due to customer service screaming at me that unless I knew the account email I could not cancel.

Stars vegas knights game

Stars vegas knights game. Commentators obviously sided with vegas. One sounded like he'd never seen a hockey game before but was taught hockey on a blackboard. The woman would not stop talking about one player and would do her color commentating over the play-play guy. All facts negative against dallas, even when dallas scored they would say something negative. When vegas would score they would almost have a stroke yelling in excitement. Just play the vegas commentation and be transparent instead. Very unprofessional unless they would be open about what team they were rooting for before the game and it would be less annoying. Biggest problem is just the uneducated announcing get people who have played the game and don't force a women commentating where it may not be feasible.
