WatchESPN (ESPN3) Review

Overview

WatchESPN: Watching NASCAR on ESPN online

WatchESPN, which ESPN3.com is now a part of, is a streaming service of live events and replays that is provided by ESPN. For most of the content (from channels other than ESPN3) you can only watch online if you are a cable subscriber from a few companies. For ESPN3 content, it’s open to people who get their internet from an affiliate company (it’s a long list of companies). WatchESPN can only be accessed online and like the name implies, lets you watch ESPN online. Users can enjoy live streaming games as well as replays of sporting events from across the country and  around the world. Users of WatchESPN can enjoy their favorite sporting events on their mobile devices while they are out and about so they can enjoy sports on the go. Those who choose to register with their cable service provider can enjoy access to all ESPN networks that they have a subscription to on their mobile devices. Multiple live events can be streamed at the same time with the ESPN3 service.
