 Posted: 08/21/18 1:41 pm ::: League Pass - Playoffs |
Reply  |
|
Hey everyone, going to get the League Pass just for playoffs (It's 4.99), but wanted to know if anyone has been able to cast it to the Roku.
I see that it can cast over with Chromecast and Apple TV, but wondering if I could do it in other ways.

I have a Roku TV but have been unable to figure any way to cast League Pass to the TV.
Another issue you might need to consider - ESPN games are usually blacked out on LP - but are available shortly after the game. If you don't have ESPN then maybe there isn't a blackout - I don't know for sure.

| Okay, all good info. I don't mind watching it delayed. I don't currently have ESPN so I'm okay with looking at it on the computer.

| For what it's worth, a VPN that makes their servers think you're outside the US might let you watch it live. ESPN games are available on League Pass for me in the UK. |

League Pass for the playoffs seems like a new thing to me. In the past, League Pass didn’t handle playoffs.... they’re all on the ESPN family of channels.
I don’t know if they’ll archive playoff games unless you pay for the extra service. I assume that would go for international fans as well.

League pass had all playoff games archived last season as well . Just not live due to rights.

I actually purchased the Orange package of Sling TV this summer (through Amazon Fire) to get ESPN when I discovered the ESPN games were blocked on LP. You can cancel Sling at any time, no contract, so you could get it for the playoff period ($25).
I use Chromecast to cast the LP games to the TV.
