DirecTV and ESPN’s parent company, Disney, reached a disagreement over contract terms, resulting in ESPN channels being unavailable to DirecTV customers in September 2023. While the exact timeline of the blackout is unclear, there has been no official end date announced.
Negotiations are ongoing, and both companies have expressed a desire to resolve the issue, but until an agreement is reached, the blackout could last indefinitely. DirecTV customers have lost access to ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, and other Disney-owned sports channels during this period.
If you’re a DirecTV subscriber, it’s best to monitor official updates from both DirecTV and ESPN for any changes in the situation.
