ESPN.com/Activate

If you’re trying to activate ESPN+ with your account online and having a bit of trouble, you are definitely not alone.

Plenty of people experience technical difficulties along the way with ESPN.com/activate (just like any other sign-up process!), because it can be a little tricky if you’ve never done it before!

But…

Never fear! 🤓

Thankfully, there’s a quick and easy solution to this particular issue.

Simply follow along with the pictures and instructions right here on DIFD.

Here are the 2 super easy and simple steps you need to use ESPN.com / activate with your account and get started watching Live TV right away…


STEP #1 — Sign in to ESPN on your device.

No matter what type of device you’re using, you should be able to follow this step.

Note: You can use any of the following devices…

  • Apple TV
  • ROKU
  • Samsung Smart TV
  • iPhone, Android
  • And many more…

Once you sign in, you should see one of 2 options:

1. “Activate Live TV” or 2. “TV Provider”

For most devices, this is located in Settings. (Look for this type of gear icon: âš™.)

Here’s a screenshot of what the iPhone version looks like:

Tap or click on the one that you see, either Activate Live TV or TV Provider.

NOTE: If you see TV Provider, then you can simply sign in with your cable account. For example, if you have Spectrum Cable, then you would select Spectrum, and just sign-in with that login username and password.


STEP #2 — Go to ESPN.com/Activate and enter code.

Next, go to this website:

www.espn.com/activate OR es.pn/activate OR espn.go.com/watchespn/activate

(All 3 links go to the same site. If one isn’t working for you, simply try a different one.)

Once you’re there…

You will be able to get your specific code to use on your specific device. You may need to sign-in on that page as well.

With this in mind, a lot of people ask one big question:

“Where do I enter my ESPN activation code?”

Here’s the answer…

First, look for this screen below, which is what it looks like for most users on a computer.
