WWE will be starting their new partnership with ESPN on
Saturday with Wrestlepalooza, as all of their premium live
events move to ESPN’s new direct-to-consumer app for
viewers in the United States.
WWE programming will be available to those who have the ESPN
Unlimited plan, with the former ESPN+, now Select, missing
in on the action.
Some cable subscribers who have access to ESPN will be able
to stream the premium live events for free thanks to
agreements ESPN have with select providers.
If have a Hulu + Live TV, Fubo, DIRECTV Signature Package or
DIRECTV Stream, or Spectrum TV Select or Spectrum Platinum
subscription, congratulations, you get the ESPN Unlimited
subscription free as part of your package.
We suggest you visit your provider’s FAQ pages to see how to
link your account to the MyDisney account required to log in
to the ESPN app. A MyDisney login is needed to access the
ESPN app and linking the two accounts is the only way you
can watch them free.
If you currently subscribe to other services such as
Comcast, YouTube TV, Sling TV, Dish, Cox, etc, you are,
unfortunately, out of luck, as these providers do not have
an agreement with ESPN to offer the service as part of your
subscription.
(Options for those whose cable/streaming services don't
have an agreement are to download the ESPN DTC app onto a
smart device or TV and pay $29.99/month; or to use Netflix
and a VPN such as NordVPN or SurfShark)
