ESPN is one of the largest cable TV sports broadcasters in the United States, and the sports it broadcasts include football, basketball, tennis, etc. In the past, we were always used to watching exciting sports events broadcast live by ESPN in front of the TV. Now, with the development of information technology and the Internet, ESPN has created an independent online streaming platform, namely ESPN Plus. Currently, ESPN Plus is broadcasting almost all sports events on ESPN. Now, we can watch sports games broadcast by ESPN Plus online on mobile devices and PCs. More importantly, even if we miss some exciting games due to various reasons, ESPN Plus also allows us to download these exciting game videos and watch them offline. So, in order to download videos from ESPN Plus, what conditions do we need to meet? How should we download videos from ESPN Plus? Don’t worry, this tutorial will give you specific answers and the best ESPN video downloader.
Outline
Part 1: What Do You Need to Download Videos from ESPN Plus?
It should be noted that the ESPN Plus App on mobile devices currently provides users with an offline function, which can help users download videos directly on ESPN Plus and allow users to watch offline. Therefore, we can now watch ESPN Plus videos offline directly by using smartphones. However, before using the ESPN Plus App to watch ESPN Plus videos offline, we still need to meet many conditions. First of all, whether we are using iOS devices or Android devices, we need to search and install the ESPN Plus App from the application store of these mobile devices. After running the ESPN Plus app, we need to register for an ESPN Plus account. After logging in to the ESPN Plus account, we need to subscribe to the subscription plan released by ESPN Plus, because the offline function in the ESPN Plus App is only available to subscribed users. Currently, the price of ESPN Plus subscription is $10.99 per month or $109.99 per year. However, there are some ways to stream ESPN for free. After subscribing to ESPN Plus, we also need to agree that the ESPN Plus App obtains permission to access the location of the mobile device, so that it can download ESPN Plus videos more stably and quickly. After completing all the above operations, we can start downloading ESPN Plus videos in the ESPN Plus App and watching them offline.
Of course, if you want to watch ESPN Plus videos offline on your PC, you can’t use the offline feature provided by ESPN Plus to achieve this wish, because the offline feature of ESPN Plus only exists in the ESPN Plus App. Therefore, if you want to watch ESPN Plus videos offline on your PC, you need a third-party ESPN Plus video downloader to help you download videos from ESPN Plus. Fortunately, this tutorial will also introduce two of the best ESPN Plus video downloaders that I think for readers.

In addition to third-party software like CleverGet ESPN Plus Downloader that can stably download ESPN Plus videos, we can also download ESPN Plus videos online on the web, because there are currently many online websites that can provide users with free services to download ESPN Plus videos, and FetchFile is one of these websites. The important reason why FetchFile is recommended by me is that it is very easy to use. We only need to follow these simple operations to easily download videos from ESPN Plus.
It should be noted that there are many advertisements on FetchFile’s website. We cannot be sure whether these advertisements are safe. Therefore, when using FetchFile’s services, we must be vigilant about these advertisements and never disclose our personal information to avoid personal property losses. In addition, FetchFile is very dependent on a stable network environment. Once your computer’s connection to the Internet fluctuates, FetchFile is likely to fail to download ESPN Plus videos.
