What Channels Do You Get On Espn Plus
Okay, let's talk ESPN Plus. You know, that thing you subscribe to and then sometimes forget you have? It's not quite like flipping through channels like the old days, but it's way more than just reruns of the Spelling Bee!
Think of it less like traditional "channels" and more like a buffet. A buffet filled with sports…and maybe a rogue plate of day-old potato salad. (Hey, every buffet has one!).
So, What's on the Menu?
Instead of channels, ESPN Plus serves up content based on leagues, events, and shows. They aren’t actual channels like ESPN or ESPN2. So, no just mindlessly scrolling through for background noise.
Must Read
Think of it more like logging into Netflix. You have to choose what to watch! It's a level of responsibility some of us weren't quite prepared for.
The League Lineup: A Hodgepodge of Awesome
Major League Baseball gets a hefty chunk of the pie. You can usually find a good game to watch. Maybe even one with a particularly impressive (or hilariously bad) mascot.
Hockey fans, rejoice! ESPN Plus has a solid helping of NHL games. Perfect for those nights you want to scream at the ref from the comfort of your couch.
Soccer fanatics, prepare to be overwhelmed! They have everything from Major League Soccer (MLS) to international matches. Get ready to yell "GOOOOOOOAAAAAL!" at 3 AM.
Beyond the Big Leagues: Weird and Wonderful Sports
This is where things get interesting. ESPN Plus delves into the niche sports world. Prepare for things you never knew existed.
Think college sports galore! Everything from basketball and football to…competitive cheerleading? Hey, it's more intense than you think!
Ever wanted to watch a professional cornhole tournament? You can do that! I’m not even kidding. I watched it for 3 hours last Sunday.
Original Programming: More Than Just Games
ESPN Plus isn't just about live games. They've got original shows and documentaries too!
They have exclusive shows hosted by some of the biggest names in sports. Think Peyton Manning breaking down film while simultaneously eating approximately 7 pizzas.
You'll also find some really well-produced documentaries. Some will leave you inspired, others will leave you sobbing into your sports jersey.
The Fine Print (Because There's Always Fine Print)
It's important to remember that ESPN Plus is a supplement to, not a replacement for, your regular ESPN channels. Don't expect to find every single major sporting event on there.
Blackouts also exist. Meaning some games might not be available in your area. It's a cruel reminder that even in the digital age, geography still matters.
And finally, a subscription to ESPN Plus does not automatically give you access to ESPN, ESPN2, or ESPNU on the ESPN app. This is a common point of confusion, and frankly, a little bit evil.
The Verdict: Worth It?
If you're a casual sports fan who only watches the Super Bowl, probably not. But if you're a die-hard who craves content 24/7, then absolutely!
Think of ESPN Plus as a deep dive into the world of sports. A place where you can discover new favorites and cheer on the underdogs. Or just watch competitive cornhole. No judgment.
Ultimately, it’s all about finding your niche. Dive in, explore, and maybe you’ll stumble upon your next sports obsession. Just try not to get too addicted to competitive eating. Unless, of course, that's your thing.
