Every Big Sports Event Affected by ESPN, YouTube TV Dispute This Week

Disney and ESPN are still in a contract dispute with YouTube TV entering Tuesday. A full slate of college football on Saturday and the Cowboys-Cardinals clash on Monday Night Football were suddenly unavailable to thousands of paying customers. It has become a matter of great frustration among fans and, unfortunately, there is no indication it will come to a conclusion anytime soon.

With no end in sight, we have no choice but to assume this week’s slate of games and other notable sporting events will be affected. Any fans relying on YouTube TV to watch sports this week will either have to make alternative arrangements, like paying ESPN extra to stream directly through them, or accept they’ll be left in the cold as two giant corporations continue to point the finger at one another. It’s a terrible situation for basically everybody involved, but there’s also effectively nothing we the people can do to usher the process along.
