ESPN BET is the official sports betting platform of ESPN — America's largest sports media brand — launched in November 2023 through a partnership between PENN Entertainment and ESPN. Available in 20+ US states, ESPN BET brings the ESPN brand's unparalleled sports content reach and 100+ million monthly users directly into sports betting for the first time.
ESPN BET's defining feature is seamless integration with ESPN's content ecosystem. Live odds appear directly in the ESPN app and website, shows like SportsCenter reference ESPN BET lines, and the betting platform launches directly from ESPN content. No other US sportsbook has equivalent organic media distribution from a brand that reaches the majority of American sports fans.
ESPN BET accounts link directly with ESPN+ subscriptions, creating a combined sports content and betting experience. Live game streams, fantasy sports, and betting markets all surface from a single ESPN account, making ESPN BET the most contextually integrated betting product in the US market.
ESPN BET covers all major US sports with competitive odds, daily bonus bets, and "ESPN BET Boosts" on marquee events. PENN Entertainment's gaming expertise provides the regulatory and operational infrastructure behind the ESPN brand.

ESPN BET's integration with America's largest sports media brand is genuinely compelling — live odds in the ESPN app, SportsCenter line references, and a combined ESPN+ streaming experience make it the most contextually relevant US sportsbook for the everyday sports fan.
ESPN BET launched in November 2023 following PENN Entertainment's $2 billion agreement with Disney/ESPN. The product's first year was spent building the foundation; 2025–2026 has seen meaningful product improvements as PENN's team gains experience operating under the ESPN brand. Market share has grown steadily, driven by ESPN's unmatched sports content distribution.
The ESPN integration is more complete than any other media-sports betting combination in the US market. Live odds surfaces in the ESPN app's game previews, ESPN journalists reference ESPN BET lines in broadcasts, and the betting platform launches with one tap from any ESPN game page. For the majority of US sports fans who already open the ESPN app multiple times daily, ESPN BET is the most frictionless path to sports betting.
ESPN BET's NFL odds have improved materially through 2025, averaging 4.4% margin in our testing — competitive if not market-leading. The "ESPN BET Boosts" programme delivers daily enhanced odds on featured matchups, with value approximately equivalent to FanDuel's and DraftKings' comparable programmes.
ESPN BET's live betting interface remains a work-in-progress. Odds update speed and market depth lag FanDuel and DraftKings, particularly on NBA and college basketball. Cash-out is available on most live bets. The team has announced significant live betting infrastructure investment for 2026.
ESPN BET is a compelling second account for US sports bettors who are already heavy ESPN users. The media integration creates a betting-contextualised content experience unavailable elsewhere. As a primary sportsbook versus FanDuel or DraftKings, the product depth gap is still real — but closing.
