There are plenty of streaming services that carry live ESPN. You can stream ESPN Live through Hulu Live TV, Sling TV, AT&T TV Now, YouTube TV and PlayStation Vue.
Not only do all those streaming services allow you to watch ESPN live online, but many also carry ESPN2, and access to the ESPN3 with the ESPN app.
If you thought the ESPN+ was a way to watch ESPN without having cable, it’s not. I’ll explain why at the end of this article after covering how you can watch ESPN online without needing a cable TV subscription.
All the services listed below allow you to stream live ESPN on Roku devices, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Amazon Fire Stick, Chromecast and more. The one exception is YouTube TV which isn’t available on Amazon Fire devices.

You can also use your Hulu Live TV credentials to watch ESPN3 on the ESPN app. Check out our review of Hulu Live TV for more information.

Furthermore, Sling TV also offers ESPNews, ESPNU, ESPN Goal Line/Buzzer Beater/Bases Loaded, SEC Network, and Universal Sports. You can watch ESPN online, along with tons of other sports and get a Roku for free with this Sling TV-Roku Offer.
Aside from one of the most comprehensive sports packages on the Internet, Sling also provides access to HBO, AMC, History Channel, A&E, and many more top channels previously only found with a cable or satellite subscription.
