Why can’t I find the ESPN app on my LG Smart TV?

ESPN is not accessible via the LG content store as of July 2023.

We would speculate that this is simply because an application has not been developed for Web OS or, more likely, that ESPN had other service agreements with other TV manufacturers.

Hopefully, the native ESPN will appear in the LG Content store soon.
