Editor's note: This article has been updated to reflect that, while Disney has officially announced ESPN Unlimited is available to YouTube TV customers at no cost, customers (including myself) are not yet able to access ESPN Unlimited content through the ESPN app and on web browsers.
On Friday (Nov. 14), YouTube TV and Disney struck a deal that finally returned ESPN, ABC and a host of other Disney-owned channels to the live TV streaming service after two weeks of blackouts. That was a big relief to customers like me, though admittedly, claiming my $20 credit for missing out on Disney softened the blow.
But if you weren't paying attention to the news closely, you might have missed one important detail. With this new distribution agreement, YouTube TV subscribers are getting access to the ESPN Unlimited streaming service for free.
