Arizona State fans miss most of 2nd half of victory due to ESPN transmission issue

A technical fault disrupted live streaming on ESPN+, blocking viewers from watching nearly the entire second half of the Arizona State vs. Northern Arizona game, ESPN said.

  • On Saturday, a transmission issue disabled multiple ESPN+ feeds, causing viewers to miss most of the second half of Arizona State Sun Devils vs Northern Arizona.
  • The matchup had been a streaming-only contest on ESPN+, and reports indicate the problems appeared on-site rather than with ESPN's new app.
  • Arizona State athletic director Graham Rossini apologized on social media and said staff are working with the Big 12 Conference and ESPN to upload a clean game feed after fans, including Cam Skattebo, expressed frustration.
  • The outage left fans unable to watch most of the decisive period, and ESPN said it is looking into the cause to mitigate future impacts amid high expectations for paid streaming access.
  • The team will have some contests aired on ESPN2 and TNT, easing streaming-only viewing concerns for fans.
