The Biggest Party of the Summer is streaming this weekend on the ESPN app, and YouTube TV subscribers can watch at no extra cost.
WWE SummerSlam 2026 is set for August 1 and 2, and YouTube TV subscribers can now link their ESPN accounts and watch one of WWE’s biggest events on ESPN Unlimited without paying for another streaming service on top of their monthly bill.
If you are a YouTube TV subscriber and do not see ESPN Unlimited yet, do not panic. The new activation process is rolling out gradually, so some accounts may get the option before others.
How to link YouTube TV to ESPN Unlimited
Getting started only takes a few steps:
- Open the YouTube TV app or website and sign in with your account.
- Tap your profile icon in the upper-right corner.
- Select Settings, then open the Sports section.
- Turn on Connect ESPN or the ESPN Fantasy connection option.
- When the prompt appears, choose Connect.
- You will be sent to an ESPN activation page. Sign in with your ESPN or MyDisney credentials and agree to activate.
- Confirm the account link, then open the ESPN app. Once the connection is complete, ESPN Unlimited should appear as part of your plan.
That last step is the one that matters most for SummerSlam. After the accounts are linked, the ESPN app should recognize the entitlement and let you stream the event without needing to buy a separate subscription.
