ESPN Full Court
ESPN Full Court[edit | edit source]
ESPN Full Court was a subscription-based out-of-market sports package in the United States that was offered by ESPN. It provided college basketball fans with access to a wide range of games from various conferences across the country. The service was available through cable and satellite providers and allowed viewers to watch games that were not broadcast on local or national television.
History[edit | edit source]
ESPN Full Court was launched in the mid-1990s as a way to cater to the growing demand for college basketball coverage. At the time, many games were not available to viewers outside of the local markets, and ESPN Full Court filled this gap by offering a comprehensive package of games from conferences such as the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, and others.
Features[edit | edit source]
The package typically included around 30 games per week during the college basketball season, which runs from November to March. Subscribers could watch games live or record them for later viewing. ESPN Full Court also provided access to some early-round games of the NCAA Tournament, although the later rounds were usually broadcast on national networks.
Availability[edit | edit source]
ESPN Full Court was available through major cable and satellite providers, including DirecTV, Dish Network, and various regional cable companies. The service was offered as a seasonal subscription, allowing fans to purchase access for the entire college basketball season.
Discontinuation[edit | edit source]
In 2014, ESPN announced that it would discontinue ESPN Full Court after the 2014-2015 season. The decision was made due to the increasing availability of college basketball games through other platforms, such as ESPN3 and the WatchESPN app, which allowed fans to stream games online. Additionally, the rise of conference-specific networks, such as the Big Ten Network and the SEC Network, provided more comprehensive coverage of college basketball games.
Legacy[edit | edit source]
Although ESPN Full Court is no longer available, its impact on college basketball broadcasting is still felt. The service helped pave the way for the current landscape of sports broadcasting, where fans have more access to games than ever before. The shift towards digital streaming and conference networks has continued to expand the availability of college basketball games to a national audience.
