The ESPN Plus website offered a free trial seven days after the platform launched, allowing streamers still on the fence to see whether the service was for them. 

The service allowed users to dip their toes in and watch broadcasts of baseball, NFL football, hockey, PGA golf, and out-of-market MLS matches, plus top-drawer shows like Detail with host Kobe Bryant and Draft Academy.
