ESPN+: How to Watch the Matches You Read About on Ginger Apple News

See a match or highlight on Ginger Apple News and wondering how to watch it? ESPN+ is often the go-to for U.S. streams of MLS, select soccer, MMA, and exclusive shows. This quick guide explains what ESPN+ offers, how to use it, and simple tips to catch games like Inter Miami vs New York City or Liverpool highlights.

How ESPN+ works and what you get

ESPN+ is a subscription streaming service that carries live sports, replays, and on-demand shows. In the U.S. it covers many MLS games, select international friendlies, college sports, UFC fight nights, and studio shows. You’ll also find full-match replays and condensed games for busy fans. The service works on phones, tablets, smart TVs, game consoles, and web browsers—so you can switch screens without missing a key moment.

Signing up is straightforward: create an ESPN account, pick a subscription plan, and add a payment method. After that, log in on any supported device. If a match is listed in a Ginger Apple News story as airing on ESPN+, the article usually notes whether it’s available live or as a replay. For example, our Inter Miami vs New York City recap points out that ESPN+ typically streams MLS matches in the U.S., so subscribers can watch Messi in action there.

Tips to make sure you don’t miss a game

First, check regional rights. ESPN+ streams in the U.S.; other countries may use DAZN, Premier Sports, or local networks. If you’re outside the U.S., our articles often list the official broadcaster—look for that at the top of match previews. Second, test your device before kick-off: update the app, check internet speed, and sign in early. A wired or 5GHz Wi‑Fi connection reduces buffering during live play.

Third, use alerts and calendars. Add games to your phone calendar or enable push notifications in the ESPN app so you get reminders. If a match has blackout restrictions, the app will usually explain them and offer replay times. Fourth, know the difference between ESPN+ and ESPN channels: some events air on ESPN (cable) or ESPN2, not ESPN+. Those need a TV subscription or a streaming package that includes the channel.

Finally, read the match article on Ginger Apple News for streaming details. Our coverage often names the exact broadcaster—like our Liverpool streaming guide, which lists legal streaming options in the UK and USA and points readers to ESPN+ where applicable. That saves time compared with guessing which app carries the game.

If you want help with a specific match listed on the ESPN+ tag page, tell us which game and where you live. We’ll point you to the most reliable, legal way to watch it and list any regional alternatives so you don’t miss the action.
