ESPN began offering a TV Everywhere platform in 2010, allowing subscribers on participating television providers in the United States to stream programming from ESPN's linear television channels online, on mobile devices, and on digital media players. The platform currently offers live streams of programming from ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, ESPNU, ESPNews, ESPN Deportes, ACC Network, SEC Network, ESPN+, and Longhorn Network, as well as supplemental programming from the channels (including alternate feeds and live events not carried on linear television).

The service first launched as a website known as ESPN Networks, with a pilot initially involving Time Warner Cable, and later Bright House Networks and Verizon Fios. In April 2011, ESPN launched a mobile app with similar functionality known as WatchESPN; in August 2011, the ESPN Networks website was brought under the WatchESPN branding as well. In 2015, ESPN began to integrate WatchESPN's streaming functionality into the main ESPN mobile app. In 2017, ESPN began to phase out the WatchESPN branding, and began an on-air promotional campaign directing viewers to the ESPN app. The standalone WatchESPN app and website were discontinued in 2019, with its functionality now contained within ESPN.com and the ESPN app.
