With ESPN+, you can watch the Spain's La Liga, as FC Barcelona and Real Madrid battle for the title, Bundesliga soccer with Bayern Munich leading the way, EFL (aka the Sky Bet Championship) with teams like Leeds United, Sheffield United, and Burnley fighting for top spot, and much more in both English and Spanish languages.

Frequently asked questions

No, there is currently no offer of a free trial for ESPN+, but there are ways to save money when purchasing it in a bundle, such as The Disney Bundle Trio, which includes a subscription to Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+.

Yes, you can end your contract with ESPN+ whenever you want. From the moment you cancel, you will have access to it for the remainder of the paid-for month before it ends.

No, your ESPN+ subscription must be limited to users within the same household, meaning you can access the sports service on devices that have the same address as their primary location.

Yes, if you have the Disney Bundle Trio or are a Disney+ subscriber with a separate ESPN+ account, you can stream via the Disney+ app or on the website.

No, ESPN+ is not free with Amazon Prime Video subscriptions, but you can access ESPN+ through an Amazon device, such as a Fire stick, with the above ESPN+ subscription starting from $11.99.

That depends on the leagues you want to watch. For European leagues like the German Bundesliga, Spain's La Liga, and English cup competitions, then yes. It's also great for live NCAA soccer games. However, there are a number of big leagues missing, such as England's Premier League. 

The English Premier League (EPL)

As noted, the English Premier League (EPL) isn’t included with ESPN+. Don’t panic, though. NBC broadcasts the EPL in the US, so you can watch every game throughout the season on NBC Sports, USA Network, and NBC’s on-demand streaming service Peacock Premium.

Keep up-to-date on live EPL coverage with Goal.com’s article how to watch and live stream English Premier League Soccer.

UEFA competitions

CBS Sport and Paramount has the broadcasting rights for UEFA Champions League games in the US. This means you'll need access to CBS, TUDN, and UniMas channels or their live streaming platform Paramount+ to watch the European championships.

Discover the best streaming services to watch and live stream the UEFA Champions League.

The United States National Team (USNT)

Another elephant in the room is no USNT games. You can watch upcoming fixtures via NBC sports channels and Peacock Premium.
