How to Fix ESPN App Not Letting You Select a TV Provider on iPhone

If the ESPN app on your iPhone isn’t giving you the option to select or change your TV provider, it’s likely because the device is still linked to a previously used provider. To fix this, you’ll need to reset the TV provider settings on your iPhone and then relink your current provider in the ESPN app.

Method 1: Reset TV Provider in iPhone Settings

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Scroll down and tap TV Provider.
3. Tap Sign Out at the bottom of the screen (if you’re currently signed in).
4. Confirm the sign-out if prompted.
5. Once signed out, restart your iPhone.
6. After restart, open Settings > TV Provider again.
7. Select your new TV provider from the list and sign in with your credentials.

Method 2: Clear ESPN App Data and Reinstall

1. Tap and hold the ESPN app icon on your Home Screen.
2. Choose Remove App, then tap Delete App to uninstall it.
3. Go to the App Store, search for ESPN, and reinstall it.
4. Open the ESPN app after installation.
5. When prompted, allow the app to access your TV provider.
6. If not prompted, tap the gear icon or go to Settings inside the ESPN app.
7. Tap TV Provider, then select and sign in with your current provider.

Method 3: Link TV Provider Directly Inside ESPN App (After Resetting iPhone TV Provider)

1. Make sure you’re signed out of any provider under iPhone Settings > TV Provider.
2. Open the ESPN app.
3. Tap the Settings (gear icon) in the app.
4. Tap TV Provider or Account, then Choose Provider.
5. Select your provider and log in using your account credentials.

Method 4: Contact ESPN or Provider Support if Issue Remains

1. Visit https://support.espn.com and select ESPN App > TV Provider Login Issues.
2. Use the live chat or contact form to report the issue.
3. Alternatively, contact your TV provider’s support to verify your account is active and correctly provisioned for ESPN access.
