Is ESPNU on Peacock?

    How to watch ESPNU?

    There is no way to add ESPNU to a Peacock subscription. It is not a plan or an add-on question, the channel is simply not licensed to Peacock.

    To watch it without cable, Sling TV carries it on its base package at $45.99/month, and Fubo runs a 7-day free trial if you only need it for a weekend. Each of those streams the same live feed you would get from cable.

    Which Peacock plan includes ESPNU?

    ESPNU is on none of the Peacock tiers. Premium and Premium Plus both leave it out, and the difference between those two is ads and NBC live access, not extra channels.

    Which number is ESPNU on Peacock?

    Peacock does not use channel numbers at all. Its live section is a set of NBCU themed feeds, and ESPNU is not one of them.

    On Sling TV you will find it in the guide like a normal cable channel.

    Which other streaming services carry ESPNU?

    ESPNU is carried by Sling TV, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV and DIRECTV Stream.

    Several of those come with a free trial, so if you need ESPNU for one weekend, you can get it without paying anything.

    About ESPNU

    ESPNU is owned by The Walt Disney Company and is built around college sports outside the marquee windows.

    The schedule leans on mid-week college football, women's basketball and college baseball.

    Its parent company streams its content on its own platforms first, which is why it does not turn up inside a rival service like Peacock.
