Watch on ESPN+
As has been the case for several seasons, fans who cannot come to campus to cheer on their team in person can watch many of our sporting events live on the ESPN family of networks. Starting this year, most of our home games will be broadcast on ESPN+ as part of the Big West Conference partnership with ESPN+.

How do I subscribe to ESPN+?

• A subscription to ESPN+ is available for purchase via ESPN.com, ESPNPlus.com or the ESPN App. The ESPN App is a one-stop digital sports platform that provides easy, dynamic access to everything ESPN offers. Fans can access ESPN+ content only after they have subscribed.
• Fans can take advantage of certain deals and bundles to maximize their content received. For example, ESPN+ has been available through the "Disney Bundle", which combines ESPN+, Hulu, and Disney+ for one low cost. Also, certain cell phone service providers have at times including deals for free access to ESPN+, so check with your provider for details on those offers.
