Scroll down the thread. Problem may not be a problem and tells you how to link your cable subscriber to ESPN Unlimited.

What a racket. If you have Youtube TV you get a couple of ESPN Unlmiited channels (usually at the bottom of your guide). But what they do is put a few garbage events on there and tell you for FULL access, you need to link your accounts..........that would cost you $ 31.99/month. If you have the ESPN app, they've taken some events from the ESPN app and made them "unlimited." So if you go into the ESPN app. they've taken away some events and rebranded them. LOL, so you pay for ESPN with your TV package, pay for ESPN+ on top of that if you choose to, and now you may have to buy the ESPN unlimited package on top of that to watch certain events. I refuse to do it. So in there early if there's a UK game on ESPN+ or SEC+ to see if you'll actually be able to watch it with just an ESPN/SEC+ upgade.

I pay way too much a month on streaming services and still don’t get SEC+ on the espn app or any of the other apps that have espn on it. Ridiculous. I did find Saturday’s game on YouTube. Not YTTV but just regular YouTube. 🤷🏻

You can buy them at Walmart.com. ready to go. Like 300$
I have yet to pull the trigger either but it's really crazy not to

Yeah, wished I had. My understanding is it is that $300 up front and that’s it. No monthly/yearly fees. May have just talked myself into taking the leap.

My cousin has one of streaming super boxes. Never misses any major sports event. There does appear to be a small delay. I’ll often text him about a play in the game and he hasn’t seen it yet. So maybe 45-60 seconds?? Perhaps that’s how they get around the legal issues it’s not exactly ‘live’.

They definitely dont get around the legal issues. The delay is because streams are a bit delayed and then on top of that they buffer to try to handle burst people accessing them. Its all very illegal just hard to crack down on. Piracy is the only option corps are giving us these days because of greed.

I bet their longterm plan is to kill ESPN+, call it ESPN Unlimited and move to the $32.00 cost overnight.

Where are you seeing that it costs extra for ESPN Unlimited for YouTube TV subscribers?

What I'm seeing:
As of September 7, 2026, ESPN Unlimited is now included at no extra charge with YouTube TV plans that include ESPN. YouTube TV officially announced the rollout about a week ago. You do not have to pay ESPN another $31.99/month to get the full ESPN Unlimited catalog through YouTube TV.

I have YouTube TV and didn't have a problem watching UK or any SEC game this weekend.

What am I doing wrong?

I said SOME GAMES meaning down the road. This game wasn't messed with. All I know @gbl97 is that I wanted to watch a Tennis match last night and it wasn't on the YouTube TV unlimited channels in my guide, so I went to my ESPN app (that I pay for) and there it was. I clicked on it and it wouldn't show it to me and said I needed "full access". So I "connected" my Youtube TV account to it and it showed it to me. Then I get an email this morning saying they "may" charge me. I'd gladly be wrong.

You have to go into your settings on the YouTubeTv app and link your account that way. Then go to the ESPN app and it will work. I think I had to do it on my laptop.

Don't hate me for watching wrestling.

I just did that. Hopefully that fixes it, but that email I got was weird. I use DTV part of the year and Youtube TV the other part, so maybe ESPN thinks two different people are using their app. I'll call them.

Dropped BS YouTube TV....bought an antenna and split the cost of ESPN app between 3 people. Ten bucks a month for all the sports, news and TV I want.
No delay in stream and clear picture.

My barber has had another brand over 20 years. He has upgraded the model a few times, but the same brand.

I've had my VSeebox for three years.

If the vendors came out with a solid package at a fair price, I would pay. You get the mess, pay a premium price, and still have commercials. If I have to watch commercials, the content should be free.

I think the streaming services may be why the NFL and college sports start to lose interest. At some point, people are going to get ticked off about missing their favorite team because they dont pay for another streaming service when they are paying for several already and go do something else with their Sundays and not come back. Same with College sports, I don't think the powers that be realize college fans won't love their teams at the same level they did years ago when they had 3-4 years to get to know the kids and it becomes hired gun crap like the whole Stokes recruitment

You can get ESPN Select for $12.95/month instead of the ESPN unlimited which is $34.99/month I believe. They also have a day pass for $4.99 when we’re on ESPN+ or SECN+.
