keepmyespn.com
KeepMyESPN.com is a Disney and ESPN campaign website used to help pay-TV customers understand channel blackouts, contact their provider, and find other ways to keep watching ESPN and related Disney networks.
What is KeepMyESPN.com actually used for?
The site becomes most useful when Disney and a television distributor cannot agree on a new contract and channels such as ESPN disappear or risk disappearing from customers' packages.
Its pages can tell affected viewers which networks are involved, explain the dispute from Disney's position, and direct customers toward other providers available in their ZIP code.
The site has also included tools for contacting a television provider and messages asking customers to request the return of Disney-owned channels.
Is KeepMyESPN.com an official ESPN website?
Strong evidence connects the domain directly with Disney and ESPN because the ESPN Press Room officially directed viewers to KeepMyESPN.com during its September 2024 dispute with DIRECTV.
The website itself also links users to Disney's official privacy policies, advertising controls, children's privacy information, and terms of use.
These connections make it very different from an independent sports blog or an unofficial website using ESPN's name.
Why did DIRECTV customers see KeepMyESPN.com?
Disney used the website during its 2024 carriage negotiations with DIRECTV after ESPN and other Disney networks became unavailable to affected customers.
Disney said more than 90% of DIRECTV households watched its linear programming each month during the previous year, citing Nielsen data in its explanation of the dispute.
The blackout ended on September 14, 2024, when Disney and DIRECTV announced a new agreement and immediately restored Disney's full group of linear networks.
Why has the website mentioned YouTube TV?
KeepMyESPN.com was later used during another distribution dispute when Disney networks including ESPN and ABC disappeared from YouTube TV in late October 2025.
An indexed version of the website tells YouTube TV customers that affected networks included ESPN, ACC Network, SEC Network, Disney channels, Freeform, FX, and National Geographic.
The disagreement did not remain permanent because Disney announced a new multi-year YouTube TV agreement on November 14, 2025, with its full network lineup being restored.
YouTube also confirmed the agreement and said ABC, ESPN, FX, and customers' previously recorded programming were returning to the service.
Can you watch ESPN directly on KeepMyESPN.com?
KeepMyESPN.com should not be confused with ESPN's main streaming platform because its primary role is helping viewers during distribution problems rather than hosting live games itself.
ESPN now concentrates direct digital viewing in the ESPN app, which offers its networks, streaming plans, live events, replays, studio programming, and other sports features.
ESPN reported that its digital and social properties reached 228.6 million unique U.S. users in November 2025, while ESPN.com alone recorded 69.7 million unique visitors and the ESPN app reached 30.8 million.
Those figures from ESPN's January 2026 audience report show why the main ESPN ecosystem is much broader than the KeepMyESPN campaign site.
Why can information on KeepMyESPN.com become outdated?
KeepMyESPN.com is built around temporary contract disputes, so a blackout warning can stop being relevant as soon as Disney and the television provider sign a new agreement.
For example, an indexed snapshot still contains messaging connected with the 2025 YouTube TV dispute even though both companies publicly confirmed that their agreement restored the affected networks on November 14, 2025.
Visitors should therefore check the date and affected provider before treating a message on the site as a description of their current television service.
What should visitors remember about KeepMyESPN.com?
KeepMyESPN.com is best understood as a temporary viewer-information and advocacy portal that Disney and ESPN can activate during negotiations with companies that distribute their television channels.
It can help explain why ESPN disappeared and where viewers have alternatives, but official ESPN and provider announcements remain the best places to confirm whether a particular blackout is still active.
