How Do I Get ESPN+ on an LG Smart TV?

There’s no ESPN+ app for LG Smart TVs, so you must connect another device capable of streaming ESPN Plus.

For example, you canhook up your computer to your TV with an HDMI cable and stream ESPN+ in a web browser. Alternatively, you can cast directly from the Chrome web browser or the ESPN+ mobile app for iOS and Android.

Another option is to connect a streaming device that supports Hulu such as a Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, Apple TV, or Xfinity Flex. PlayStation and Xbox consoles also support the Hulu app, so you can also stream Hulu on your connected game system.

Connect a Computer to Your LG TV

Plug your computer directly into a video input port on your LG TV to use the screen as a monitor. You can then stream ESPN+ in a web browser and watch on your TV.

You’ll need a converter if your computer only has a DVI or VGA port and your TV only accepts HDMI cables. If you’re not using an HDMI cable, you’ll require an adapter (such as a 3.5mm-to-RCA cable) that plugs into your speaker port and splits it into the audio component cable.

How to Sign Up for ESPN Plus on an LG Smart TV

FAQ

• Does LG have an app store?
  Yes,LG has an app store with all kinds of apps for your LG TV. Unfortunately, there is still no ESPN app available.
• Can I use the Disney+app to watch ESPN?
  While it’s true the Disney and Hulu apps are going to combine into one app, ESPN has not made any announcements it would roll its content into the Disney app. Because sports is so different than TV and movies, we are pretty confident the ESPN content will remain in its own distinct silo.
