ESPN+ Now Available To Charter’s Spectrum TV Select Plus Customers At No Extra Cost

Charter Communications and the Walt Disney Co. today announced ESPN+ is now available to Spectrum TV Select Plus customers at no additional cost, as the two companies’ distribution agreement from 2023 continues to benefit consumers by making streaming apps part of linear Spectrum TV bundle packages.

Charter’s activation of the ESPN+ direct-to-consumer inclusion offer means qualified Spectrum video customers can immediately begin streaming thousands of hours of live sports and original programming through the Xumo Stream Box or any other ESPN+ supported device.

The availability of ESPN+, which retails for $10.99 per month, comes after Charter and Disney in January made the Disney+ Basic streaming app available to all Spectrum TV Select customers nationwide at no extra cost.

“Through our collaboration with Disney we are providing a better experience for our customers,” said Tom Montemagno, Charter executive vice president, programming acquisition. “Making ESPN+ available to our TV Select Plus customers allows us to cater to sports fans’ evolving viewing habits with one high-value video package that includes the best of linear and direct-to-consumer sports content.”

ESPN+ on Spectrum Offers Subscribers Access to a Wide Range of Exclusive Live Sports

ESPN+ includes more than 30,000 live events each year, including exclusive UFC events, NHL games, college sports from more than 20 conferences, international soccer, exclusive PGA TOUR LIVE coverage, Grand Slam tennis, international cricket and more. ESPN+ also gives fans exclusive access to on-demand original content, including popular series like Peyton’s Places and the Places Universe shows, Man in the Arena, The Captain, Why Not Us and the entire library of ESPN’s award-winning 30 for 30 films.

“The addition of ESPN+ to Spectrum’s offerings helps bridge the gap between linear TV and streaming services to provide a comprehensive entertainment solution for Spectrum customers,” said Justin Connolly, Disney president, platform distribution. “Spectrum TV Select Plus customers will now have access to ESPN’s linear and direct-to-consumer content, making ESPN+ available to a wider audience and providing fans with even more ways to stay connected to the sports they love such as NCAA Women’s Basketball, FA Cup Soccer, NHL games and more.”
