INDIANAPOLIS (10/25/2018) -- Continuing its longstanding and innovative relationship with ESPN, the Horizon League will stream nearly 300 events over its digital streaming services this winter on ESPN+ and ESPN3, including women's basketball and men's basketball regular season and championship contests.
ESPN+, which will carry the early rounds of the Horizon League women's basketball and men's basketball championships offers fans thousands of live events, on-demand content and original programming not available on ESPN's linear TV or other digital networks. Fans can subscribe to ESPN+ for just $4.99 a month (or $49.99 per year) and cancel at any time. Additionally, the swimming and diving and indoor track and field championships will be featured on ESPN3.
Detroit Mercy men's and women's home basketball games will have 24 games on ESPN3 or ESPN+ with 11 of the 13 Titan games on the ESPN platform and all 13 women's contests. Nine of the 11 home men's games will be on ESPN+ as will eight of the 13 women's games at Calihan Hall.
Last year, Horizon League institutions produced over 600 live events, providing major visibility and highlighting the league's 2,700 student-athletes. The Horizon League and ESPN+ showcased the league's spring championships shortly after the platform's launch in the spring. Additionally, three member institutions – Oakland, UIC and Wright State – aired regular-season baseball content through the service.
Launched in April of 2018, ESPN+ is an integrated part of a completely redesigned ESPN App. Already the leading sports app, the new ESPN App is the premier all-in-one digital sports platform for fans offering both ESPN+ and (those fans with a pay TV subscription) access to all of ESPN's "TV Everywhere" streaming of its linear television networks (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, etc.) and ESPN3. ESPN+ and ESPN's "TV Everywhere" streaming is also available on ESPN.com.
