ESPN Plus and Hulu are two popular streaming services that offer access to live sports, on-demand content, and original programming. With an ESPN+ subscription, you get access to live sports that aren’t available on ESPN’s TV channels, including MLS soccer, NHL hockey, MLB baseball, international soccer, UFC fights, college sports, PGA golf tournaments, and more. Hulu offers thousands of TV shows, movies, and Hulu originals, as well as access to many channels through their Hulu + Live TV plan. Luckily, it’s easy to get access to ESPN+ within your Hulu account. Here’s how to watch ESPN Plus on Hulu:
Subscribe to The Disney Bundle
The easiest way to get ESPN+ on Hulu is to subscribe to The Disney Bundle. This bundle includes Hulu (ad-supported plan), Disney+, and ESPN+ for one low price of $13.99 per month. When you sign up for The Disney Bundle through Hulu, you get access to the entire ESPN+ lineup directly within the Hulu interface. This allows you to browse and watch ESPN+ content seamlessly alongside all of your Hulu shows and movies.
The Disney Bundle gives you the best value, saving you $7 per month compared to if you subscribed to each service individually. It’s a great option for households that want the full lineup of Disney-owned streaming services.
Subscribe to ESPN+ Directly
If you only want ESPN+ and already have a Hulu subscription, you can also subscribe to ESPN+ directly for $9.99 per month. Just go to espn.com/espnplus to sign up on the ESPN website.
Once you have an active ESPN+ account, you can then link it to your Hulu account. On Hulu, go to “Manage Account” and then select “Linking.” Here you can enter your ESPN+ login credentials to link the two accounts.
After linking your ESPN+ account, the ESPN+ content will appear on Hulu alongside all of your other channels and subscriptions. You’ll be able to browse and watch ESPN+ shows and live events right within the Hulu app.
The benefit of subscribing to ESPN+ directly instead of The Disney Bundle is that you can cancel ESPN+ anytime without impacting your Hulu subscription. The downside is that you don’t get Disney+ access and you’ll be paying more in total for the two separate services.
Access ESPN+ via Web Browser
You can also access ESPN+ through a web browser at espn.com/watch/espnplus rather than within the Hulu app. This option works if you want to jump over to ESPN’s website to watch something live or browse their latest content. But it doesn’t provide the nice integrated viewing experience you get from linking accounts.
Content on ESPN+
ESPN+ offers thousands of live sports events, original shows, and on-demand programs focused on sports like soccer, golf, UFC, cricket, rugby, and more. Some highlights of what you can watch with ESPN+ include:
- Hundreds of MLB, NHL, and MLS games
- Top Rank boxing matches
- PGA golf tournaments and coverage
- Grand slam tennis events
- International rugby, cricket and soccer
- Hundreds of college sports like football, basketball, lacrosse, gymnastics and more
- UFC Fight Nights and PPV events
- ESPN originals like documentaries, analysis shows, and podcasts
- The full library of 30 for 30 documentaries
ESPN+ doesn’t include live streams for ESPN’s major networks like ESPN or ESPN2. But it’s a great complement to Hulu for sports superfans who want expanded access to live events and sports programming.
Setting Up ESPN+ on Streaming Devices
In addition to watching ESPN+ on Hulu, you can also access ESPN+ on streaming devices like Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, and smartphones by downloading the ESPN app. Make sure to use the same ESPN+ login you set up with your Hulu account to access all of your subscription benefits.
The integration between Hulu and ESPN+ makes it easy for Hulu subscribers to add even more sports coverage to their streaming package. With The Disney Bundle, you can conveniently and affordably get three excellent streaming services – Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN+ – all in one place for one low monthly price.
