ESPN new streaming service in the fall. Anyone know if this will include ACCN???

This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen to date. From this morning in Front Office Sports:

“ESPN does not currently have deals with Xfinity, Cox, Optimum, or YouTube TV for subscriber authentication, but customers of DirecTV, Hulu + Live TV, Charter, Fubo, and Verizon Fios will have access at no additional cost.”

Getting it for Hulu and Disney and ESPN+. We piggyback on my son's Hulu and this will be a better option for us. I know I don't need it for ACCN etc.
And we don't know how ESPN will be handling the other streaming options going forward. (Hulu Live TV, Youtube etc).

You'll be oversubscribed. However, you can easily adjust/cancel services after you settle in

I’m assuming the benefit to having YTTV and getting ESPN anything that way is the DVR ability. Because of my kids sports I’m almost always watching games on replay. Every year I forget, if I just have the ESPN app and I miss a game on ACC or even the Tenn game. How soon after the game ends can I watch the replay?

Almost instantly...

With YTTV, I just set up and record every Syracuse game. It is literally like two clicks on the remote. So if I miss a start...I can start watching from the beginning anytime (10 mins late or 2 hours late or 2 days late, etc...)

The other benefit is FWD'ing through the commercial breaks.

YouTubeTV usually has various introductory plans available. Sometimes depending on the month. I just did a quick search and found these different discounts: 1) $99 off the first 3 months, or 2) first 21 days free, or 3) 10 day free trial plus $13 a month discount for 6 months. You have to hunt around a bit. The first 2 are only available in August.

Already used the intro . Most of the deals are for first time users. Apparently they're not a fan of me turning on Youtube TV then cancelling it a week later ha, which I think I've done a few times now. When Hoops season gets closer we'll see how it looks.

It's prob way early but there's 4 games in Vegas during Thanksgiving week. Depending on times and channels I gotta make sure I got those games.

Can confirm that ESPN unlimited is live on Hulu live.

I’ll be in Vegas for 2 of those games!!

Very good to know. Hulu Live TV is the other one I'm considering.

ok. I now have both youtube tv and the new ESPN plan. I get ESPN+ on the ESPN plan, but I do not get it on youtubetv. I am signed in on my laptop via youtube and via espn on our tvs. Been watching content all morning that I get on ESPN app on my tvs and am not able to get on youtube from my computer. Mostly it seems to be ESPN+. Some of the women's basketball games are on + and not on ACCNX. So overall it will be worth it for me.
