AgaveMaria Posted March 16 Posted March 16 Saw a post about this a week or more ago. Searching and can't find it now. What service do I sign up with to watch the NCAA wrestling tournament so I can cancel after the few days of the competition. I don't have a TV so would watch it online. After that, no more watching and no need for any subscription services. So - what service works? ” Never attribute to inspiration that which can be adequately explained by delusion”.

Hulu + Live TV offers a 3-day free trial for new and eligible returning subscribers, providing access to 95+ live channels, the full Disney+ bundle (including ESPN+), and unlimited DVR. The service costs $89.99/mo (or $76.99/mo for the ad-supported tier) after the trial ends, so you must cancel before the 3 days expire to avoid charges. I think that would be your best bet since it gives you access to both ESPN itself and ESPN+ 1
BarSeries Posted March 16 Posted March 16 Hulu live 3 day free trial. If you already have Hulu, then adding ESPN Unlimited for one month is $25 I believe. Or get the stand alone ESPN Unlimited for $30 for one month. 2

SetonHallPirate Posted March 16 Posted March 16 Note to Xfinity cable customers: You probably get ESPN Unlimited for free (I know I did). May want to research that.
flanders Posted March 16 Posted March 16 I signed up for ESPN by itself thru the ESPN app. $30 for 1 month. I'll cancel after the NCAAs. I timed it out where I signed up for the conference tournaments so that I could watch those along with the NCAAs for the 1 fee.
Mr. PeanutButter Posted March 16 Posted March 16 the free trial of hulu live is probably the best, simplest option. If for some reason you can't figure that out you could try getting the 3 day or 7 day pass for sling tv. just make sure to select the orange channel with the sports extras package.
BruceyB Posted March 16 Posted March 16 2 hours ago, Caveira said: Wrestling fans growing the sport. Stay classy. Get a new bit. Sometimes you amaze me. Signing up for ESPN unlimited literally does zero in itself for wrestling. The only thing that matters is how many users are tuned into the NCAA tournament streams they have. It doesn't matter whether it's free trial users, current users, new users, etc. How many people are watching the stream is the only thing that matters. More people with access to free trials = more people watching = good for the sport. You think ESPN is worried about NCAA wrestling this week? There's another NCAA event starting this week that might have a bit more of their attention at the moment. 3
BaldAt23 Posted March 16 Posted March 16 All you need is ESPN+ to watch every round. It's like $15 for a month 2
headshuck Posted March 16 Posted March 16 I don't think Sling has ESPN+You are right. I forgot I usually sign up for ESPN+ for a month. 2
AgaveMaria Posted March 16 Author Posted March 16 Thanks, Will get one with the 5 day free trial & then cut it off. Am not a sports TV type. Put on a football game & it is a better sleep aid than any pills. The few I watch are on the computer screen. Mainly F1 racing & NCAA wrestling with a bit of International Freestyle. Do own a TV - it is 13 inch & sitting in the attic - can't pick up TV stations at all where we are in the country. So basically, no TV. Would just like to see the NCAA tournament live instead of later on youtube. ” Never attribute to inspiration that which can be adequately explained by delusion”.

Interesting....didn't see your name pop up once in any of the CBU dropping wrestling threads, but here you are trying to grow wrestling through judging people using the free trials that allow them to watch the tournament.

I thought in the past the finals you needed ESPN but I guess I'm wrong.

BarSeries Posted March 16 Posted March 16 2 minutes ago, BaldAt23 said: Too late to cancel? Oh yeah. I got ESPN Unlimited just before the Big 12 tournament. Good to know for next year that just one month of the $13 ESPN+ will get you the Big 12 plus the entire NCAAs.

alex1fly Posted March 16 Posted March 16 Just now, BaldAt23 said: So you couldn't watch the finals last year on ESPN+? I don't think so. Not that my memory is fantastic. Flo says every match will be on ESPN+. But also lists regular ESPN networks. I went ahead and got a month of ESPN for like $30 so I'm not fumbling around 10 minutes before the finals.

How much is wrestling losing from the 8 year 920 million contract the ncaa signed with ESPN to air 40 national championships through 2031 when 6 people do a free trial? PS - the free trials actually add viewership numbers to the event which makes the numbers look like more people support it Edited March 17 by Idaho 2 Sponsored by INTERMAT
