KnicksMagic on ESPN Tonight, but YouTube TV Blackout Forces Streaming Workarounds

Short-term signups provide workarounds for YouTube TV customers blocked from ESPN.

Overview

  • Tipoff is 7 p.m. ET at Madison Square Garden on ESPN, with New York seeking to extend its 7-0 home start after Tuesday’s win over Memphis.
  • A carriage dispute between YouTube TV and Disney/ESPN is preventing many YouTube TV subscribers from accessing ESPN for tonight’s broadcast.
  • DirecTV and Fubo are offering free trials that include ESPN and can be used to stream the game without added cost during the trial period.
  • Sling sells day, weekend, or week passes for temporary ESPN access, does not offer a free trial, and lists cheap pass options starting at $4.99.
  • ESPN Unlimited, the rebranded ESPN+, is listed at $29.99 per month and streams through the ESPN app as another way to watch.
