How to sign up for ESPN plus/select/unlimited
-
Jesus, it took me an hour to figure this out! I’m dumb, but not that dumb. You want my money, ESPN??? Make it easier for me to give it to you! ha
Oddly they wouldn’t let me sign up on my desktop, but had to log in to my phone to see the ESPN+ plan. So effed up.

I’ve had ESPN plus for about 5 years and I have no idea how I’m paying for it. No Disney bundle. Doesn’t show up on my credit card statement. Can’t cancel it or change payment method. I literally can’t do anything but sign in with my email and password. So I’m not rocking the boat. Good luck!

I hear ya on that. Yet I just went to Kansas Athletics site – - pulled up our schedule and it shows how it is being broadcast --ESPN plus BAM ther you go takes you right to the game , that’s the way I did it most of the year last yr too. Of course I have has ESPN plus for a couple of years so didn’t need to subscribe but pretty easy bud

ESPN ran out of money. Had to fire tons of people. Thus no pre or post game for KU games anymore - that’s my biggest complaint so far. Spent too much on buying rights of games to hire people to cover them. Unfortunately it’s games I’ll never watch - (anything other than KU or Chiefs is off my radar) Bidding on sports rights nearly sank a couple companies, but not winning the bid would. If they’d just figure out they’re running the price up on themselves they could cut costs - no need for a bigger contract if they collude - like the wayNFL running backs are paid.

Here’s how bad ESPN is getting. If you go to their website right now the top story (this is on a computer, not a phone, but probably the same there) is the top women’s teams for this season. Nothing about the world series until you scroll pass soccer, tennis, womens hoops, NBA. I wish I could say I’m not watching ESPN again, but football and college hoops so I must.
But to act like people don’t care about the World Series is so short sided on their part. 32 million viewers watched game 1 world wide. If it goes 7 games and they throw Shohei again, see what those ratings are then. 12 million of those were US viewers which is kind of low I guess but those college games since Caitlin graduated? Back down to a little more than a million.
Rob Manfred is part of the viewership problem for baseball I believe. He will not try to compete with NFL football. Last week game 7 of the ALCS was on FS1, not Fox which was showing cartoons. Can you imagine letting fox show cartoons instead of your league when you’re the commissioner and you have a broadcasting agreement with Fox? I admit I don’t have the knowledge of how this all works, but baseball alienates fans who want to watch their team so much it’s unbelievable. Blackout rules (I got MLB subscription this year and couldn’t watch the sox, local team on it), horrible postseason scheduling decisions, and a refusal to air important playoff games on free over the air TV are the biggest gripe I’ve got. They’re heading towards another lockout in the 2027 season over salary cap issues which will damage them even further.

And there’s more ESPN drama for those of us with YouTube TV…
They’ve reached a contract stalemate. We can no longer access any Disney or ESPN channel!!!
Mother effers. So freaking stupid and unfriendly to the consumer. It’s a trend lately.
Grrrrr.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk I just looked at the list of channels that have been nuked from YouTube. I believe I counted 21 channels. All the ESPN channels and ABC were the ones that particularly got my attention.
I wish I was an all outdoorsy off the grid person who didn’t rely on TV. But I’m not. This will be super fun.
-
Hulu tv still has all the ESPNs for similar money.
-
@dylans I just re-signed ESPN+ before football season (thinking KU might be respectable this year). I am tagging along on my son’s Hulu account but he’s going to drop Hulu maybe this weekend. So I guess I’ll have to figure out how to bundle Hulu and ESPN+ and not get charged for ESPN+ twice.
I should go back to listening on the radio. Until they start charging for that.
-
@nuleafjhawk it gets expensive getting all the different services. I only have Hulu live tv for sports. In the offseason it goes away. There are less expensive options, but they’re a bit shady.
-
Went to watch channel 7 news at 10 last night. I always watch it on delay when it’s convenient. No news last night. Gone from my YouTube tv.
-
I signed up for espn+ standalone for 12 bucks a month on disney site last night. I thought i recalled not being able to do that last time i checked. So maybe too many people werent ready to pay for their bundles
-
@wissox I guess those stations are ABC.
-
Disney owns ESPN and Hulu. It’s absolutely shocking that they might do something that would perhaps send people from YouTubeTV to Hulu for their live sports. Shocking I tell you
-
Is there a person (besides DJT) or business whose only function is to conspire to piss off KU & KC sports fans? I need an address please.
-
@nuleafjhawk Just Beetlejuice, as far as I know. But he is happy to piss off everybody.
-
Update: just realized that espn and espn 2 links in espn+ app dont work. Greedy, greedy asshats.
-
@approxinfinity so us dumbasses with YouTube won’t get to watch the opener Monday night?
-
@nuleafjhawk ESPN+ isn’t affected
-
@FarmerJayhawk but isn’t Monday’s game on regular ESPN? Which I don’t think I have access to through ESPN+
-
Thats how im interpreting it @nuleafjhawk
-
@nuleafjhawk it’s on ESPN+. There’s about a 0% chance they’d show KU vs. a nobody over Monday Night Football

Self said regarding Peterson’s leg issue “we can figure how to address it and then he’ll take it seriously in addressing it because that could be the same way Monday. It could be the same way next Friday (NC). It could be the same way moving forward.” Self says if he can only play 14 minutes that won’t be good enough to win big games. Self wants to nip it in the bud now to avoid it going forward. What does cramping and tightness exactly mean anyway? Calling it an issue but not an injury is good I guess. Cramping and tightness are not the same thing medically. One is a sharp pain and persistent tightness is a feeling of being bound or stiff. A muscle strain is considered an injury but I haven’t heard them say that.
-
@Zabudda Peterson’s situation is causing me cramping and tightness. Same can be said for YouTube TV and Disney
-
Sounds like the same type of thing as a tight (not pulled) calf muscle. I had to take it very easy on mine for several weeks back in my prehistoric running days to avoid pulling the gastrocnemius. It is mind-bending because it can require trying to be conscious of every step up or down to keep your foot from angling too much. I’d imgine similar restrictions for a tight hammy or quad until it is safe to engage in normal stretching.

Wow it’s $12 for espn+ alone? I think we’re still at $15 with Disney+ and Hulu. Paramount, ESPN+, HULU live TV, Peacock, Disney+…. A la carte to death.
-
@approxinfinity I like you was ESPN plus by it’self, been that way for years and still haven’t had to buy anything else
So it’s been pretty easy for me, I just go to the Ku athletics site pull up the schedule and it list what place the game is being shown on click my ESPN Plus and bi Zinga there it is - -still haven’t had to buy anything more.
If you already got ESPN Plus your good to go

$12.99 actually

@dylans hm i think the bundle was like 30 so thats when i said “gtfo”. Espn is the only thing of value to me in that bundle, so the two are basically synonymous to me.
