Last season I watch WatchESPN on Hulu. This season I cant find Watch ESPN on Hulu. With Hulu, you can download the channels that you want to watch. The Watch ESPN option isnt available anymore on Hulu. I thought it may have been because I downgraded my cable tv option from regular cable to the Spectrum stream thats available on Hulu.
I doubt it has to do with your cable. I'm guessing that Hulu stopped offering it as an option. If you're using a smart TV or smart Blu Ray player to stream, there may not be a WatchESPN App available, but there certainly is for Roku, Apple TV, and Amazon Fire TV. Low end streaming devices, like Roku Express start at around $30. Well worth the investment.
im sorry. I said Hulu, but I meant Roku. I cant find watch ESPN on Roku anymore.
Cuse, I have a Roku and I just tested WatchESPN - it still works just fine, but I just noticed it's no longer called WatchESPN -- now it's just ESPN. Look under "Streaming Channels", then "Sports".
If you continue to have problems, try this help link:

All that said, Roku changed the way their technology worked around April of this year - so now some old channels (like USTVNow) no longer work.
The change from WatchESPN to ESPN was made on my AppleTV yesterday. I had to reauthenticate. There were some general organization/presentation changes, but the major change appears to be the integration of ESPN+ into the app.

What options are out there for me? Thanks!
Go to reddit and look at the college football games stream thread. They have every game for free. but, its illegal and you risk getting a virus from certain streaming websites. its a good back up. If you have no other options.
