| No free trial needed for the 14th if you have espn3. All games on the 14th are on espn3. |
So does that mean if you don't have espn3 you can't watch the game on League Pass?
How do you get espn3?

ESPN3 is free if you subscribe to cable that includes an ESPN channel.
You're really unfamiliar with ESPN3? I link to it frequently in the game threads.

Never used it. Guess I will have to figure out how to use it.

You just use your cable online account email and password to log into espn3. If you don't have a online account with your cable provider, you need to register for one.

| But Randy, if you're buying League Pass, I'm reasonably sure you can also watch your game on there. Can you imagine League Pass selling all these subscriptions and having all the opening day games blocked? That wouldn't fly very well at all.

They did a pretty good job last year with the region-blocking from what I remember. We got the ESPN and ESPN3 games on LiveAccess, even when they remembered to block them for Americans (or segments of Americans).
We'll see how it works out this year, but hopefully that repeats. |

It's probably out of their hands (or maybe not, I'll admit I know nothing about this), but they might want to rethink the geo-blocking considering how many people are opting out of cable subscriptions and going other routes (RUKO, ChromeCast/GoogleCast, AppleTV...).

But that's exactly the point. Sports are the most difficult content to replace without cable and a major incentive for peope to keep cable. That's why they protect it and it would be counterproductive for them to make it easier to watch without a cable subsciption.

I've wondered why ESPN doesn't try to capitalize on that and sell subscriptions to ESPN3 or WatchESPN (not sure of the exact name). I'm sure they'd make a good amount of money that way as well.

Because they make more selling it to the cable and satellite companies. Those providers pay ESPN a fee to allow their subscribers to access WatchESPN online. And the deal is that the only way to get it is to buy cable.
BTW, you can get ESPN3 but not the rest of Watch ESPN through many ISPs without having a cable subscription. That used to be the only way to get it back when ESPN3 was the only ESPN online package. It used to be linked only to your ISP, not your cable. Now most people get it because of their cable subsctiption.

| Nothing on League Pass yet. Look, if they are trying to get fans then not letting people watch the games on opening day after subscribing to the service is a terrible way to do it. I'm losing my patience.

| Up on LeaguePass now for me. Don't forget that WNBA games (and US sports game in general) never, ever start at the supposedly scheduled time. 10mins past the hour is the absolute earliest, except for ESPN games where they're desperately trying to make certain that games fit inside the 2-hour window. |

Yeah, I've already noticed that things seem to be happening on my twitter feed before I see them on the screen  . I can live with it. |

| Yep. Not working for me either. I click on a game and nothing....not even a "this game hasn't started." It does nothing. Is there a function I need to turn on..or off or something. Please help. I don't want to miss the games that are not going to be on ESPN3. BTW, I'm just trying to watch on my laptop. Theres a section that says "my devices" and it says I have no connected devices. I don't have a Apple TV on anything like that...just a laptop. Does this mean I can't watch...I emailed help support and they said I could but I got nothing.
