ESPN+ vs. ESPN3 vs. WatchESPN: What’s the difference?

ESPN+ is an over-the-top streaming service that launched in 2018. It’s an add-on subscription to ESPN’s core networks, featuring original programming and exclusive broadcasts of sports including the UFC.

ESPN3, previously ESPN360, is an online streaming service. ESPN3 is available to customers who receive their high-speed internet connection or cable television subscription from an affiliated service provider. Certain sports that were once available on ESPN3 have been moved to ESPN+.

WatchESPN was a streaming service and app that provided simulcasts for ESPN channels like ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNews, ESPN Deportes, and the SEC Network. It’s now been folded into the main ESPN site.

FAQ: How to watch ESPN live online

Does ExpressVPN come with an ESPN subscription?

No, ExpressVPN does not come with any subscriptions to watch ESPN, and it is not a replacement for ESPN. Rather, it complements your existing subscription for watching ESPN by delivering it at blazing-fast speeds.

What devices can I stream ESPN on?

You can stream ESPN online in the following ways:

Visit the ESPN website on your computer using the ExpressVPN app for Mac, Windows, or Linux. For best results, use the ExpressVPN browser extensions for Chrome or Firefox.
Use the ESPN apps for your smartphone/tablet along with the ExpressVPN apps for iOS or Android. (The ESPN apps may require location services to be turned on, which may affect the programming available on iOS.)
On your streaming media console, such as Apple TV, Roku, Chromecast, or Fire TV Stick. (Streaming ESPN on these devices may require ExpressVPN for routers or a cord-cutting service.)

Will a VPN slow my ESPN streaming?

All VPNs have the potential to slow your internet connection, but ExpressVPN is one of the fastest, and users rarely notice a difference.

In fact, using a VPN might actually improve your connection if your ISP has been throttling ESPN traffic. In any case, if you do notice a drop in video quality, make sure you’ve selected the U.S. server closest to your actual location.
