The ESPN+ streaming service provides access to live events from multiple sports and leagues including the MLB, MLS, NBA, NHL, and UFC. If your favorite sports teams are currently enjoying their off-season, you might want to cancel ESPN Plus until they come back.

These instructions apply no matter which devices or platforms you utilize to stream ESPN+ content.
