What is ESPN+? How is it different than ESPN?
ESPN+ is the industry-leading sports streaming service that offers fans in the U.S. thousands of live sports events, original programming not available on ESPN’s linear TV or digital networks and exclusive editorial content from dozens of ESPN writers and reporters.

ESPN+ has thousands of exclusive live events, original studio shows, and acclaimed series that aren’t on the ESPN networks. ESPN+ allows subscribers to purchase UFC PPV events and access an extensive archive of on-demand content (including the entire 30 For 30 library, select ESPN Films, game replays, and more). ESPN+ content is available to stream in HD through the ESPN App on your favorite connected devices (living room devices, phone, tablet, computer, smart TV) and on ESPN.com. ESPN+ also gives you access to exclusive fantasy sports tools and premium articles from some of the most respected voices in sports news and opinion. All of this is available as part of your ESPN+ subscription.

An ESPN+ subscription does not give you access to stream ESPN’s traditional TV networks or the content on them. To stream those networks, you need a television subscription through a cable, satellite or digital provider.
 
What does this mean for American Athletic Conference fans?
• In football, in addition to The American’s games continuing to appear on ESPN networks (ABC, ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU), select conference-controlled home games will be available exclusively on ESPN+. In 2020, it is projected that about 16 games will be on ESPN+, with the intention of at least one of each team, home or away.
• In men’s basketball, every regular season that is not distributed on ESPN’s traditional television networks will be available exclusively on ESPN+.
• If not on ESPN2 or ESPNU, every other women’s basketball home game will be on ESPN+.
• Additionally, ESPN+ will feature hundreds of American Athletic Conference events from other sports, including volleyball, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, baseball and women’s lacrosse and more.
• All American Athletic Conference Championship events that are not aired on ESPNU will also be distributed on ESPN+.
