Getting the ESPN Unlimited free trial does not require you to be a new sportsbook customer, which sets it apart from most sports betting promos on the market. If you already have a DraftKings account, or are willing to open one, linking it to ESPN unlocks a full month of ESPN Unlimited at no cost.
Here is everything you need to know about the offer, how it works and what to watch for in the fine print before you claim your ESPN Unlimited free trial.
Below, we break down the exact steps, the terms attached to the promo and what happens once your free month runs out.
ESPN Unlimited Free Trial Details
How to Claim the ESPN Unlimited Free Trial
Linking your accounts takes just a few minutes. Follow these steps to get your ESPN Unlimited free trial:
- Sign in to your DraftKings account, or create one if you are new
- Head to the Account section of the app
- Go to General, then Linked Accounts
- Select "Link" next to ESPN
- Enter your ESPN login credentials
- Confirm the link
- Check your email for a redemption code good for your free month
Once you receive the redemption email, do not skip that step. Linking the two
accounts alone will not activate anything. You need to click through the email and enter the code at checkout inside the ESPN app or website for the free month to actually apply to your account.
ESPN Unlimited Free Trial Terms To Know
A few conditions apply to the ESPN Unlimited free trial worth reading before you link your accounts:
- Existing ESPN, Disney+, Hulu, or Hulu Live TV subscribers do not qualify
- The redemption email must be used to activate the code, simply linking accounts is not enough
- The code must be entered at checkout to apply the free month
- After the trial ends, ESPN Unlimited renews automatically at $31.99 per month unless you cancel
- The offer runs through January 7, 2027
That renewal detail is worth underlining. This is a free trial, not a permanent discount, and ESPN will start billing you the full monthly rate the moment your trial period ends unless you cancel ahead of time. Set a reminder if you only want the one free month and nothing more.
What Is ESPN Unlimited?
ESPN Unlimited is ESPN's direct-to-consumer streaming tier, giving subscribers access to the full slate of ESPN's linear channels plus additional streaming-only content, alongside the platform's on-demand library. It functions separately from ESPN+ and is aimed at cord-cutters who want ESPN's full programming lineup without a traditional cable package.
