Do you have spectrum internet service? I’m having the same issue. A Roku tv and trying to stream collage baseball on ESPN + with the subscription I purchased.
I have Spectrum internet service and a TCL Roku TV. My ESPN + has always worked fine. I can't find any college baseball game on ESPN+ at the present time so I can't try to stream a game now. I have watched several football and basketball games on ESPN+
I watched a college basketball last night and I often watch Hockey on ESPN+ without any issues regularly. You should contact ESPN+ ESPN+ Help Center | Support & FAQs (espnplus.com).
I dropped ESPN+ a long time ago because it provided no real benefit to me. Up until last summer Spectrum internet provided most ESPN tennis matches without needing ESPN+, just the semifinals and finals were 'Media Not Allowed'. So I'd watch those match hi-lites on YT.
Recently I tuned in to the ESPN app for the Australian Open and all the matches were 'Media Not Allowed'. This summer I'll sign up for ESPN+, hopefully I'll get access to matches. It appears the agreement between Spectrum and ESPN has changed yet again. I've had it good (free!) for a long time so I can't really complain.

Reinstalled ESPN. Managed to watch the AO high lights show (non-ESPN+) then tried the next match and got the activation screen. After activation could not no longer play matches. The number of good non-ESPN+ matches is small anyhow. Next Spring/Summer I'll sign up for ESPN+.
This is not an ESPN problem!!! It’s a Roku problem! I called ESPN and Dish and we did everything on their end. I can watch these games with NO PROBLEM on my Firestick, tablet, iPad, iPhone, Smart TV, etc. It only doesn’t work on the Roku and I have 2 of them! I cannot find a phone number to even call to get any help. I have done everything this site said to troubleshoot numerous times - restarted Roku, Uninstalled and reinstalled ESPN app. Logged out and back in ESPN and Dish and nothing works!! Still says media not allowed!! Very upset and disappointed. I guess I’ll have to buy another Firestick to be able to watch these games on my ESPN app.
ESPN works fine on my 3 Roku TVs. So, I don't know what you are doing wrong?
It’s not all games only certain ones and I do have ESPN+ so it’s not that
