Streaming has made it easier than ever to enjoy your favorite channels and watch sports content at any time, from anywhere. Not only do live TV streaming services offer an alternative to expensive cable plans for watching well-known cable channels but they also make it easier to find less widely available channels, such as ESPN3.
What is ESPN3?
ESPN3 is a secondary channel that the ESPN network uses to stream shows, live sports, documentaries, and more. The content that ESPN wants to air nationally will be found on ESPN or ESPN2, leaving extra content for their third channel, ESPN3. For college game days, ESPN3 is a great place to find an exciting college football or basketball matchup.
Which streaming services offer ESPN3?
While most services offer ESPN and ESPN2 in their lineups, ESPN3 is harder to come by. Here’s how to watch the channel with a live TV streaming service.
| DIRECTV STREAM | Fubo | Hulu + Live TV | Sling TV | YouTube TV | |
