ESPN (Entertainment & Sports Programming Network) è una emittente televisiva statunitense che trasmette programmi dedicati unicamente allo sport 24 ore su 24. Fu fondata da Scott Rasmussen e suo fratello Bill Rasmussen, che la lanciarono il 7 settembre 1979 sotto la direzione di Chet Simmons, che ne fu il primo presidente. L'attuale presidente è George Bodenheimer, già presidente della ABC Sports, ora diventata ESPN on ABC. Il programma di punta della ESPN è il notiziario SportsCenter, che l'11 febbraio 2007 ha raggiunto il traguardo delle 30.000 edizioni trasmesse. Gli studi principali della ESPN sono collocati a Bristol, nel Connecticut; altri studi sono a Los Angeles, New York e San Francisco. Il canale negli Stati Uniti è visto da oltre 100 milioni di persone e dal 2003 la ESPN ha dato il via al canale ESPN International, che copre circa 150 paesi.
