Best sports website without any doubt. You can find in here absolutely anything from the world of sports. Soccer, Boxing, Tennis... they have all the information you need. Also a very beautiful and organized website.

I saw an ad at a friend's house about soccer on ESPN streaming. There are almost zero games from EPL or Germany. As for Men's Basketball my UNC games are never on. You can't get a refund so I wasted over $100 for a year subscription. I will contest on my VISA soon. They suck.

No NFL or NBA. Most hockey games are blacked out, especially if it's a team in your area. The college sports also almost all require an extra package. This app is just a big advertisement for you to switch back to cable or watch 30 for 30. Don't waste your money.

Your coverage of the Surgar bowl was horrible!
You don't need to shrink my screen to watch some ego maniac sports announcers! That was the worst televised game i have ever seen! I will refuse to watch ESPN if I ever witness this kind of coverage! YUCK! I want my TV back!

I'm an alumni of University of Michigan, grew up watching it in the days of 4 networks, no cable, now you have to pay to watch your home team in a bowl game, what about the average American that can't afford such luxury in budget, or they don't pay for right package, money/greed ruins everything, even what used to be just fun college rivals are more serious than life itself to these corporate sponsors. This is American football, not Wallstreet people these are our teams not there's. We should have the right to root our teams on freely, ESPN is wrong on this one.

ESPN powers that be, please note the professionalism, decorum and lack of drama from the NFL commentators on the noncable stations.
No yelling, no hype, no drama, no fashion show complete with hair pigs dressed for a ball, no dancing in one's seat, no swearing, and no harsh,
Hurtful criticisms of others. Just 4 or 5 players and coaches acting civilized.
Your programming has gone down the drain in a hurry and still sliding. I Honestly stopped tuning in and have to wonder who does and why.

Long Time viewer of your program and a fan Chris from day one. Yes I understand what. Some are upset about and there is no place in our society for unfair treatment this works for all. When we turn entertainment into politics shame on us there should be a place to escape.
Sorry to say we have ended a long term relationship.

Tonight's Monday Night Football proved to be yet another slanted commentary on the part of the announcers who so obviously were Seahawks fans. I'd sure like to hear unbiased commentary during a Vikings game for a change. No matter who they play, the announcers are invariably focused on a victory by their opponent in nearly every comment they make. Sickening.

Everyone I know who has a subscription for espn and espn+ is getting ripped off. It's why I never bought my own subscription. I can't tell you how many times I have gone over to a fight party and it won't play. Help team is NOT helpful and usually not responsive. I've missed so many fights that were paid for. So tired of ESPN with no resolution.

To many people talking about sports who never played especially women talking about football. Whether you care about insulting athletes or not.
Watered down, cowardly pitiful. I guess you guys want sports co-ed. What a joke with this homo political correctness.

If you're hoping to watch your local teams do not waste your money on ESPN +. They Advertise you will be able to watch them only to find out they are blacked out. You will be billed 109.98 up front that is non-refundable. Cancel subscription = cancel annual renewal. Absolute trash. Got me this time but I hope this will help out the next person.

Tip for consumers:
Find another way to get your games it is a waste of your money.

ESPN has a serious problem when it comes to pushing politics in their programming. Not only do people not want to hear it, they push political views that only the uninformed and the fringe would accept, and they try to make it seem like it's the norm. They're really looking to start a huge row with their viewers when the sports seasons resume and I just don't know why they're going to do that, especially when they know better.

Maybe it's time to get rid of the Ivy League leftists and find people who want to talk about sports, that's just a thought. It seems like a lot of their reporters are bitter about not getting a job with regular news media outlets and are using ESPN to audition for those positions. It's getting nutty now.

You cannot stream most of the content and they don't offer hardly any live sports. I just don't understand how such a large company can have such a bad pay app. The overall experience is worse than bad.

I subscribed to ESPN recently through my iPhone. I downloaded the app. It started playing a live sports event. But several minutes later it said I would need a cable or satellite provider. I didn't have one. So I canceled the service within an hour. I was charged $4.99 for the first month of service. When I tried to get a refund and pointed that the download service doesn't warn people like me that we have to pay monthly fees to another company to get their service, they basically said, "too bad." Now $4.99 is not a big deal. But imagine if 100,000 other people do what I did? Now that's a pretty good chunk of change. I know that Disney, which owns ESPN, is really in bad shape financially. OK, that was tongue in cheek, in case you didn't know. This would seem to be ripe for a class action lawsuit. Are there any attorneys out there?

ESPN commentators are all "color" and very little substance. It's like, "Did you ever see [a player from 30 years ago] in college? Wow! What an experience. Like seeing the whales at Sea World." It's exhausting, borrrring, and who cares? Just call the game. We just have to mute them every game.

ESPN + app sucks. Why not just use 1 of the 8 channels to put the most important content on. Constantly blurry, doesn't load, blacks out At commercials so you have to reload. This just takes the cake, especially after all the woke BS you have to go through during normal programming. Not to mention putting two "analysts" on their programming to watch them $#*! at each other is killing what used to be great a great product. ESPN wonders why their viewership is declining. The only thing keeping them relevant are the games themselves. That's the only time I ever watch their crap stations.

Jemele Hill needs to go. What a racial slur! I'm white and there is not a white supremacist bone in my body. Many of my closest friends over many years and my wife are minorities. I will boycott ESPN until she sincerely apologizes or is fired! I grew up 60 years ago when there was real racial inequality and prejudice. We just had a black president for 8 years. Hello! Give it up! Too much! Whine to yourself but not on TV.

Kimberly Martin may be worst analyst on any sports network. Almost all of her commentary is prompted and has to be accompanied by an iPad.
I get ESPN may be after the completely oblivious to football demographic but I can get better analysis at the Dollar General Store.

ESPN is the biggest media property in the world for a reason. Instantly updated sports scores, news and highlights for every major sport are on ESPN. Plus, you get the analysis of former players and famous sportswriters from across the country. And on top of all that, ESPN.com offers personalization feature and app so you can get all the latest on your favorite teams. A must for every sports fan.

Too much going on. I understand you have to cater to your demographic, but this is way too much like the rest of social media. Why don't you just stick to sports? No movie info, no Hollywood info, no weather or tragic news info. Just sports. Thank you for a few good years but I will be moving on. Maybe Fox Sports can do what you used to... report sports.

It's also very hard/slow and sometimes not possible to watch video highlights on ESPN app because it's ridiculously slow. A big organization like this needs to do better with their products. My disappointment with the ESPN app has been for years and it's not getting better.

Your sound man aweful. Can not hear the announcers all you can hear is the crowd and bands playing. Also i would be nice to see the players line up and go in motion, instead of watching some sideline story then switching to the game just after the ball is snapped.
