As the ESPN 3 thread is locked, I'll ask the question here: Is ESPN3 better than ESPN+?
I know that I can get ESPN through the ESPN app on my Apple TV device (after I go through the sign up process), but here's the kicker.
I also have HULU: HULU shows content that appears on ESPN+. Among the offerings are games from many divisions. (FBS, FCS, Div. II) Among them for example is Southern CT. at Bryant.
IS ESPN3 more proprietary? Does it have better production & announcing crews?
Are there more camera angles?
Would like an explanation of the differences.

What’s the Difference Between ESPN3 and ESPN+? You Asked We Explain... | Cord Cutters News

If you’re a sports fan, you likely use ESPN to watch live games, events, recaps, or highlights. Most live TV streaming services offer ESPN with some adding ESPN2, ESPNews, and ESPN U as well. In this post, we’re looking at two more sources of ESPN content – ESPN3 and ESPN+. What is ESPN3? ESPN3...

The game is the game. It is the same production/announcing crew/camera angles.

I suggest that you check out the process for accessing ESPN3 well before the game starts. It allows time to address any issues. I usually log in on Friday night to ensure everything will be good at gametime on Saturday

Two similar but different things. ESPN3 is streaming but it's affiliated with your cable/TV providers. You need a a subscription to cable or Sling or something like that. ESPN+ is a standalone streaming service. Technically they're identical. I get YouTube TV and there was a time where it did not support ESPN3 and I could not get it. Luckily, it's been back for awhile. If you don't have a sub, you may be OOL even with the ESPN app.

So I went last night on ESPN3 on my Apple TV device. Didn't have to do any password entry as it has already been activated. I scrolled to the NCAA football icon.
After clicking on the icon, I scrolled to the UConn/FIU game icon. I clicked on that icon & it says that the game doesn't start until 7 p.m. tomorrow evening. Fingers crossed that I should have no problem watching the contest.

You should be fine. The only difference between ESPN3 and ESPN+ is you have to pay for ESPN+ events.

ESPN3 is largely a legacy product of pre-ESPN+ league contracts.

Right. If you can legally watch ESPN family of channels you have access to ESPN3 programming.

The ESPN3 thread is locked. I just wanted to add that I have Xfinity and when I want to watch something on ESPN3, I just say ESPN3 into the voice remote. I'm sure this would probably work on other cable systems remotes

This works great! I have Cox and I just tried it. Thanks.

Just tried it with Cox in Connecticut and it worked.

If you have old xfinity box, won't be able to access espn3. Need to upgrade cable box.

So does this mean I can watch it on my laptop?

I'm thinking yes.

If you have Xfinity (and ESPN) you can say ESPN3 into the voice remote. ESPN app will appear and you scroll to our game. Click the link and it will give you a code to enter at espn.com/activate Enter your code and then it will ask you to chose your carrier. Select xfinity and you're set.

EDIT: Just saw @Devland posted same thing.

You can watch it on your laptop if you have a cable subscription. Also, if you have a cable subscription, voice ESPN3 into the remote, then select the game, and watch it on your TV.

I have Cox for TV and internet. I did not have to enter a code.

I live near Atlanta and I couldn't watch the NC State game because of blackouts. Hopefully this one won't be blacked out

Best way 100% confirm is to choose something playing on ESPN3 currently and see if you can watch it now.

An FYI for all you Xfinity or cox customers. You can just say ESPN3 into your remote and it’ll open up the ESPN app with your cable box. And poof…you can pick any of the games listed on ESPN3. So no need to watch on your cell phone or computer. It’s just that easy.

You did it wrong. You were able to watch it.
