How do I activate my ESPN Unlimited plan through my Pay-TV Provider?

Customers with Hulu + Live TV, DIRECTV, Fubo TV, Spectrum TV, Verizon FiOS, U-verse, Cox, Comcast Xfinity, and other supported providers may already get ESPN Unlimited as part of their pay-TV package, with additional partners coming soon.

You will need to activate your ESPN plan and connect your MyDisney login, unless you are a Hulu + Live TV subscriber, in which case, you should have immediate access to ESPN Unlimited via your My Disney login.

To activate your ESPN plan or to learn more, please see the instructions below. Keep in mind that if you cancel or switch out of an eligible TV provider plan, your ESPN subscription will also be canceled in accordance with your provider's terms, conditions, and policies.

NOTE: If you have previously activated your entitlement and connected your MyDisney login, you will not need to activate again.
