ESPN Unlimited does not currently offer a standalone free trial in 2025. However, there are limited ways to access ESPN Unlimited or ESPN+ content for free as part of other services’ promotions or bundles.
Ways to Access ESPN for Free
Hulu + Live TV Free Trial: Hulu + Live TV includes ESPN Unlimited and offers a three-day free trial. While short, this loophole allows temporary, legitimate access to ESPN Unlimited content during the trial window.
Bundles and Promotions: The Disney Bundle (Disney+, Hulu, ESPN Unlimited) is usually offered at a discounted rate but does not include a free trial in 2025. However, occasional device promotions (such as free ESPN with select Samsung TV purchases) or mobile carrier deals may offer extended access periods.
Spectrum and SiriusXM: Spectrum TV subscribers may have access to ESPN content as part of their TV package. Additionally, certain SiriusXM promotions offer up to six months of free ESPN Plus for eligible customers.
Competitor Services: Some live TV streaming services like YouTube TV and FuboTV offer their own free trials, which include ESPN channels, though these are separate from ESPN Unlimited-specific trials.
ℹ️ What’s True Right Now
ESPN’s support pages explicitly state: “There currently isn’t a free trial for any of the bundle plans.”
ESPN Unlimited costs $29.99/month when purchased individually.
There is a bundle deal (Disney+ + Hulu + ESPN Unlimited) offered at the same $29.99/month promotional rate for new or eligible returning users, which lasts for 12 months. But that’s not a free trial — it’s a discount deal.

⚠️ Alternatives & “Workarounds”
While there’s no direct free trial, there are a few ways people can get ESPN Unlimited (or ESPN content) temporarily without paying — depending on your situation:
Free Trials of Live TV Streaming Services
Some live TV streaming services include ESPN channels, and they may offer free trials. If ESPN Unlimited content is part of that package, you might effectively get access during the trial period.
Promotional Deals / Bundles
The bundles with Disney+ and Hulu are currently cheaper for the first year; while they’re not free, the value is much better during the promotion.
Certain TV or cable providers might include ESPN Unlimited at no extra cost, depending on your plan. If you already pay for those providers, check if your subscription includes it.
Device / Hardware Promotions
Sometimes, buying certain hardware (TVs, streaming devices, etc.) can come with promotional access to services like ESPN Unlimited. For example, there’s a partnership with Samsung for some TVs offering ESPN Unlimited access.
Key Details
There is no official unlimited free trial or extended trial for direct ESPN Unlimited subscriptions in 2025.
The only way to get short-term free access is through Hulu + Live TV’s three-day trial or specific third-party promos.
After any promotional or trial period, standard subscription rates will automatically apply unless canceled.
Using a Hulu + Live TV free trial is currently the most reliable workaround for experiencing ESPN Unlimited content temporarily at no cost.
