How to Watch ESPN Plus on Spectrum TV in the United States

On March 7, 2024, a press release by Charter Communications Inc. announced that ESPN Plus is now available on Spectrum. Along with other ESPN network sister channels, Spectrum customers can access over 30,000 sports events through ESPN Plus by subscribing to the required plan or package.

What Channel is ESPN Plus on Spectrum TV

ESPN Plus is a premium 24/7 sports streaming service whose content can only be unlocked by purchasing its subscription. However, after the collaboration between Charter Communications Inc. and ESPN Plus, it can now be accessed on Spectrum with the TV Select Plus package.

It is important to note that ESPN Plus is not a traditional TV channel like ESPN or ESPN2. Instead, it is a streaming service that requires activation through the ESPN app or website. Therefore, you will not find ESPN Plus on a specific channel number in your Spectrum guide.

By activating the TV Select Plus package, you do not need any extra subscription or have to pay additional costs for ESPN Plus streaming.

To access ESPN Plus through Spectrum, you must have the TV Select Plus package, sometimes also referred to as the Spectrum Gold package. Other Spectrum plans do not include ESPN Plus access or activation.

If you are unsure about your eligibility, you can verify it by logging in to your Spectrum account or contacting customer support. Availability may vary slightly depending on your region or account status, as Spectrum rolls out this feature to all markets.

Activating ESPN Plus After Subscribing to TV Select Plus

To activate ESPN Plus after subscribing to the TV Select Plus package, follow the steps below:

1. Go to spectrum.net and log in using your username and password.
2. Look for the “ESPN Plus Offer” visible right after logging in and then click “Activate Now.” (Options may be updated or changed over time.)
3. You will be redirected to the ESPN Plus Activation Page. On that page, enter the email and password that you would like to use for your ESPN Plus account.
4. Review the agreement and click “Accept.”
5. Now, use the credentials you set on the ESPN Plus activation page to log in to the ESPN app.

Note: You only need to activate your account once. Contact Spectrum Support if you have not received the ESPN Plus activation link via email, phone, or the package details page.

Supported Devices and Access Options

ESPN Plus can be streamed on various devices, including:

• Smart TVs (Samsung, LG, etc.)
• Streaming devices such as Roku, Fire TV, and Apple TV
• Gaming consoles like Xbox and PlayStation
• Mobile devices via the ESPN app
• Web browsers at espn.com/watch

You will need an active internet connection and your Spectrum login credentials linked with ESPN Plus to start streaming.

What If You Already Have an ESPN Plus Subscription?

If you previously subscribed to ESPN Plus separately or through a Disney bundle, you can continue using your existing account. However, when activating through Spectrum, make sure to link your current ESPN Plus credentials to avoid duplicate billing or subscription conflicts.

If you experience any billing overlap, contact either Spectrum or ESPN Plus customer support for clarification.

While ESPN Plus is available through TV Select Plus, other Spectrum packages, such as TV Select Signature or older plans like Silver and Gold, may not include ESPN Plus access.
