WHAT KIND OF CONTENT IS AVAILABLE ON COLLEGE EXTRA?
For those familiar with ESPN3, the online streaming service of ESPN, you’ll be pleased to know the games you love watching on your laptop are now coming to the big screen. That’s right, ESPN College Extra takes over 500 live games exclusive to ESPN3 and integrates it into your existing entertainment experience.
And when you get the add-on through your TV provider, you also get free access to ESPN3. So, whether you’re in your living room or on the go, you can catch the games you don’t want to miss.
Among the 500 live sporting events on the network include football, baseball, basketball, softball and more.
