Final on ESPN not Sky Sports

Post by Chunter »

Just a reminder that the final is on ESPN, not Sky Sports. A separate subscription is required for ESPN.

Thanks for the information. We were thinking of getting a new subscription as well.

Not entirely sure it'll be worth it. After the premiership final, as far as I'm aware all Prem rugby is on BT Sport, with Lions/Heineken/Autumn intrnationals on Sky.

Not sure if this is still relevant (see post above if it's going off air soon) but ESPN is available on a monthly rolling contract. A couple of years ago I ordered ESPN (to watch the final) and during the same phone call I cancelled it - as you have to give 30 days notice.

ESPN are a very good channel for a variety of sports. We got it free when we were messed around and threatened to leave VirginMedia along with the phone and the broadband.

At least it means that my husband can watch it at home while I am at Twickenham!!!

Of course this is my own opinion and other posters may have a different perceived factual viewpoint.

Why pay for it when you can get it for FREE.

Just go to http://cricfree.tv/sky-sports-1-live-stream-online.php

OK, sometimes it streams a bit or if your like me out in the sticks in Herefordshire it streams a lot, but occasionally it works really well.

ESPN will cease to exist in its current guise as of the end of June. From 1 July all of the sport that you would have seen on ESPN will be available on BT Sport. Channels like ESPN America will now be filtered into either BT Sport 1 or BT Sport 2.
