A check for ESPN+
Open the exact event and read the access instructions shown beside it. Save which ESPN label appears, which organization bills you and whether the intended screen supports the relevant app. A TV-channel login and a separate streaming access path may produce different results for the same user.
Check on the intended screen
Open the app catalogue on your actual device and confirm the publisher and region. Sign in only through the service or documented billing issuer.
Keep a title-level test
Use one title, episode or fixture that you can identify. Record whether the app launches, the account signs in and the item plays.
