Viewing finals on ESPN

[MikeH87]

In Philly, for the the championships bouts, ESPN is showing women’s basketball instead of wrestling. I suppose it will update, but I want to record the final matches and don’t know whether they will be on ESPNU, ESPN2 or ESPN. Is anyone else seeing this on their cable?

The finals are always on plain ESPN and there will be replays for a day or 2 on one of the platform channels so be on the lookout if your recording screws up

I’m just glad I have YouTube TV now and need not worry

Any idea of the easiest way to get the ESPN channels for 1 week? No cable here. I do have the basic Hulu and Prime video. Was able to watch Big10 network on the Foxsports channel via Prime I think and the cancel.

You can do a ESPN add on thru Hulu I think it's $12.99/month or it was recently at least

I pointed this out a couple days ago - Xfinity guide was fudged and may still be. They had finals Friday night on ESPN2, and first round Thursday night.
