    IMPORTANT – If you have not used the ESPN App in a while, it probably signed itself out. It may be wise to double check ahead of game time what you are subscribed to and sign in. Nothing like missing kickoff because you are trying to enter a password one character at a time with a TV remote! Will try to update this if something changes.

    Some services have discounts or promotions for new subscribers, certain credit cards, cell phone plans, or employer perks. Your mileage may vary.

    Notes
    *1 – ACC Network Xtra is a streaming-only channel within the ESPN app that shows overflow content from the ACC Network linear channel. It is only viewable in the ESPN App and will not appear as a channel with your cable provider. To view it within the ESPN app, you must have rights to view the regular ACC Network, either through your cable provider or through a standalone subscription or bundle that includes ESPN Unlimited.

    *2 – Might not be visible IN the Hulu app. May need to access through the ESPN app using your Disney login.

    *3 – YouTube TV now includes ESPN Unlimited. This is in process of being integrated into the YouTube app, but initially you may need to link YouTube TV to the ESPN app and view some content in the ESPN app.

    *4 – If you don’t otherwise have or want linear TV bundle or ESPN Unlimited package, this is the closest thing to a pay per view. The EWU game on ESPN2 would be viewable within the Sling app. For the SMU game, you would do Sling Orange plus Sports Extra, then go to the ESPN app and choose Sling as your TV provider to view the ACCNX content in ESPN app. In theory this should work with the day pass, but haven’t tried it.

    *5 – Depending on whether you shop the bundle from the ESPN, Hulu, or Disney+ landing page the packages offered are different and kind of confusing. If you have an existing subscription, you really need to check if it includes ESPN Select or Unlimited.

    *6 – Fubo TV now includes ESPN Unlimited. You may need to link your Fubo account to the ESPN app and view some content via the ESPN app.

    *7 – In addition to ESPN+, the Montana game will also be broadcast on Scripps Sports, basically so that sports bars in Montana have a local broadcast channel to tune into rather than ESPN+. This means the camera quality may be better (not as good as ESPN broadcast), but we will likely be subject to whatever homer that Montana hires for the call because Davis has historically just fed the Scripps broadcast into ESPN+.

    This may be of interest for those of you who pay for a separate ESPN TV account in order to see the Aggies on ESPN3 and also have YouTube TV as your provider.

    I have YouTube TV and I also have ESPN Select subscription which automatically renews annually and it is due to renew on August 30th. ESPN Select is the rebranded name of ESPN+ and ESPN+ is what many of us originally subscribed to in order to watch Aggie sports.

    However, YouTube TV recently added ESPN Unlimited to its subscription lineup and ESPN Unlimited includes everything ESPN has to offer including ESPN3. This means I don't need to pay for ESPN Select separately in order to see the Aggies on ESPN3 anymore but you need to link your ESPN account to your YouTube TV account to get things up an running.

    1. Go to your YouTube TV account on your smart tv, computer or mobile device.
    2. Select sports and then select connect to ESPN and it will show that you are connected.
    3. I had to then go into my Disney+/ESPN account and select YouTube TV as my provider.

    After you have linked YouTube TV with ESPN and you have a Roku or other streaming device like I do:

    1. Open the ESPN App on your streaming device and go to the settings menu and select YouTube TV as your provider and you should be good to go.

    You now will have access to ESPN Unlimited included with your YouTube TV subscription but you will still need to use the ESPN app to access the ESPN Unlimited programming for now. I guess YouTube TV will have everything integrated into their platform later this fall so you won't have to jump through these hoops.

    The good thing is that I don't have to pay $119.99 anymore for ESPN Select (the rebranded ESPN+) in order just to watch the Aggies.

    Correct, YouTubeTV, Fubo, and Spectrum are all starting to offer ESPN Unlimited as an inclusion even if the sign-in is clunky. This was the armistice agreement last year in the Disney/Hulu vs YouTube and Spectrum carriage dispute but has just started to implement in the last few weeks. Basically, the cable companies can offer ESPN Unlimited as long as they carry ABC and don't interfere with Disney's direct-to-consumer ambitions.

    Sweet, I just signed up again for youtube tv and I didn't even know ESPN unlimited was going to be part of it. I did the sports package for $44.99 a month for up to 6 months. I don't know if it was a special for returning customers or for everyone but i think it had been $59.99 when i looked before.

    I have signed up for youtube tv during the college football season for many years and it has worked great for me. One click and it records every college football game. The $44.99 sports package seemed like a much better deal then the $83 for the regular package, since I rotate other streaming services.

    And one tip is to look for streaming deals around Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Last year I signed up for HBO Max for $2.99 a month for 12 months.

    It's hard to keep track of all the mergers between service providers and various bundles of premium channels along with name changes like ESPN3 being rebranded into ESPN Select. Then add in streaming deals and bundle packages and price increases...makes my head spin!

    Yep, I get youtube tv every fall, but after that I'm always looking for good deals to bounce around to, and I never know who owns what.

    The ESPN+ access worked right away. Time to watch some Villanova vs William & Mary- ha.
