Worth knowing

ESPN+ streams over 1,000 live sporting events per month across dozens of sports.
Tennis Channel Plus broadcasts more than 2,500 hours of live tennis annually — enough to keep you in a racket coma.
ESPN+ requires the ESPN app and doesn't exist as a standalone app, which confuses new users constantly.
Tennis Channel Plus lets you watch multiple courts at once, a killer feature during Grand Slam first rounds when 64 matches happen in two days.
ESPN+ is the exclusive home of UFC Fight Nights and early prelim cards, a massive draw for combat sports fans.

Tennis Channel Plus covers so much tennis that if you watched every live hour in a year, you'd need to quit your job, your family, and probably your physical therapist.
