CW Sports Programming Moves to ESPN's Subscription App Through 2031

Starting August 4, 2026, CW Sports — WWE NXT, 140 hours of ACC, Pac-12, and Mountain West football, plus basketball through 2030-2021 — streams exclusively within ESPN's $30/month Unlimited tier. A broadcast network's entire sports catalog now sits behind a third-party subscription rather than its own digital presence. The CW retains over-the-air broadcast rights.
