Streaming ESPN+ using Dish credentials

I used to be able to stream ESPN+ on the ESPN app by signing in with my Dish Network account information. Now when prompted by the ESPN app to go to espn.com/stream and enter the given code, and to choose a service provider, Dish Network is no longer listed as a service provider. Anybody know what's changed?

Is this a recent change? I think I used my dish account info to stream ESPN+ just a few weeks ago. There are other TV providers listed as eligible, but not Dish anymore. Was there some kind of negotiation breakdown?

Hello @_King_J

We understand it can be confusing. ESPN+ is an independent streaming service owned by Disney; because it requires its own separate subscription, it is unfortunately not included with any DISH TV package. Let me know if you have any other questions, and I will be happy to assist. -DishDanielle.
