About
ESPN2 USA history, coverage, features
ESPN2 is a cable television channel in the USA, owned by ESPN. The channel was launched in 1993 and is used by ESPN as a secondary option for broadcasting its biggest sporting events.This was not always the case, as when it first launched, ESPN used ESPN2 to show coverage of lesser-known sports, such as billiards and lumberjacking. However, as ESPN's broadcasting rights have increased, ESPN2 now more commonly shows mainstream sports.
ESPN2 is considered the home of tennis, but live football has also been shown on the channel, including matches from Major League Soccer.
For Cable TV owners, ESPN 2 is available for live streaming through ESPN, which can be used with a subscription on either a web browser or a mobile phone app. For those without Cable TV, ESPN2 can be streamed on Fubo, Hulu+, Sling TV, DirecTV, and YouTube TV.
