Can You Watch Wimbledon Qualifying for Free?
Unfortunately, ESPN+ does not offer a free trial, but there are tons of ways to save on your overall streaming entertainment package that includes ESPN+, including a free trial that will let you watch 75% of qualifying at no cost. If you want to subscribe solely to the sports streamer, it will cost $10.99 per month as ESPN+ only offers one subscription plan. Because so much of the platform’s content is simulcast from linear sources, ESPN+ is only offered in an ad-supported version.
However, if you are looking to add streaming options besides ESPN+, then there are ways for you to save. As ESPN is owned by Disney, there are a multitude of Disney Bundle options available to you. If your main focus is Wimbledon, tennis, and other sports, then you should sign up for Hulu + Live TV, as it provides access to nearly all of the broadcast and cable channels that cover sports. And, it comes with free subscriptions to Hulu’s on-demand library, Disney+, and ESPN+.
If you take advantage of this option, you can watch the first three days of the 2024 Wimbledon Qualifying for free, as Hulu + Live TV comes with a three-day free trial. If you don’t need a live TV streaming service, you can save on ESPN+ by signing up for the Disney Bundle Trio. It comes in two tiers, the ad-supported Trio Bundle Basic for $14.99 per month or the ad-free Trio Bundle Premium for $24.99 monthly.
