Optimum Online customers have access to ESPN3’s coverage of thousands of live events, replays and upcoming games all year round, including basketball, football, NCAA Championships, soccer, baseball, tennis, golf, cricket and more.  Recent events are archived and available for on-demand replay.  Sports fans can move between up to 30 events from ESPN3 on WatchESPN.com, keeping up with all the action.  ESPN3 is also available on XBox to Optimum Online customers with an Xbox LIVE Gold membership.

“ESPN3 is a great addition for customers to our Optimum Online offering.  With our incredibly fast Internet speeds and ESPN3’s comprehensive sports coverage, we are connecting customers to the action,” said Gemma Toner, Cablevision senior vice president of broadband product management.  “Optimum Online customers can catch all their favorite games on ESPN3 whether at home or at one of Optimum WiFi’s thousands of convenient hotspots.”
