Hi, @franklya
Greetings, and welcome to the Roku Community.
We understand your concern regarding the ESPN app activation on your Roku device.
Please note that Roku does not manage channel authentication. We recommend contacting the channel provider directly, as Roku only hosts the channel on its platform and lacks direct management control over it.
We also suggest directly coordinating with the service provider for further information and clarification about channel subscriptions and their offerings.
For more information, you can visit ESPN+ Support for further assistance.
We hope this information helps.
Thanks,
Kash
