How to watch ESPN in the UK
BT Sports subscribers can get ESPN or ESPN HD as an add-on to their BT Sport package. Additionally, if you have a Sky TV box, or Sky Glass, you can get BT Sport ESPN channels added to your sports package.
Unfortunately, the platform’s streaming service ESPN+ is currently only available to US customers. It is possible to access ESPN+ using a VPN but it’s not something we can recommend.
The BT ‘Big Sport Package’ costs £41 per month and includes BT Sport, ESPN, Sky Sports and Eurosport. This is a 24-month contract but there are also options to get a one-month BT Sport pass, or a smaller sport package for £16.99 per month. Importantly, the smaller package still includes the BT Sport ESPN channel.
It’s also possible to get ESPN Classic and ESPN America on Sky TV, if you have the right package. Also, if you have an existing Sky package, you can add BT Sport to it for £29.99 per month.
