If you’re searching for DIRECTV Stream ESPN+, it’s important to know ESPN+ is a separate streaming service. DIRECTV Stream does not include ESPN+ by default, but you can subscribe to it directly and use it alongside your DIRECTV Stream plan.
Does DIRECTV Stream have ESPN+
No, ESPN+ is not part of the standard DIRECTV Stream packages. ESPN and ESPN2 are included, but ESPN+ is a standalone subscription. You can sign up for ESPN+ separately and watch through its app, even if you also have DIRECTV Stream.
You can still start the DIRECTV Stream free trial to test ESPN and ESPN2, then add ESPN+ separately if you want extra coverage.
Watching ESPN+ alongside DIRECTV Stream
You cannot watch ESPN+ directly on DIRECTV Stream, but you can use both services together. ESPN+ streams through its own app on smart TVs, Roku, Firestick, Apple TV and mobile devices. Many fans keep both to cover all the games.
How to access ESPN+ content
To watch ESPN+, you’ll need to log into the ESPN app or website with your ESPN+ subscription. This works separately from the DIRECTV Stream app. There is no channel number since it’s not a traditional channel.
Packages that include ESPN channels
While ESPN+ isn’t included, regular ESPN channels are. These start with the Entertainment package and continue through Choice, Ultimate and Premier. If you need ESPN+, you’ll need to subscribe separately.
Is ESPN+ part of the free trial
No, ESPN+ is not part of the DIRECTV Stream free trial. The trial includes ESPN, ESPN2 and other live sports channels, but ESPN+ must be purchased separately. You can start the 5-day DIRECTV Stream free trial for ESPN, then add ESPN+ on your own.
