You can watch live college sports by subscribing to a live TV service. I bought my Roku with the intent of trying YouTube TV's service (which includes all of the major sports networks in one package, for one price). That service remains unavailable via Roku, although various reports say it's coming by April. In the meantime, I subscribe to Sling TV. The various ESPN networks are available in its base package ($20 per month); while the various Fox Sports networks are available in Sling's other package ($25 per month). The base package, for now, is fine with me -- and the various ESPN networks appear with excellent video quality (albeit with a slight time-delay lag).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.ESPN radio is available without subscription and ESPN Cricket is also available without subscription. Watch/ESPN is cable or satellite subscription required through the Roku.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Thru Roku, you can add the Watch ESPN app. You need to have a TV subscription, i.e. Sling Orange, Dish, etc. to view content via the ESPN app. Once you enter the information for your TV subscription, then you can just access the Watch ESPN app thru Roku and watch what you want. We have done exactly this (we have Sling Orange) and opt to view ESPN thru the Watch ESPN app rather than thru Sling. Works great!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You must have internet. You would have to get the SlingTv membership & choose your channels. I believe ESPN is free with SlingTV. It is still cheaper for us to pay for internet & SlingTV mthly & just pay for the extras like Hbo & Showtime. You shouldn’t have to have cable or satellite.
