The ESPN GamePlan package is a college football version of the NFL Sunday Ticket. The nice thing is, it is not an exclusive package, so you can find it not only on DIRECTV, but DISH Network as well. Even some cable outfits carry the package, so you don’t necessarily have to subscribe to satellite TV in order to get this package.

So what exactly does the ESPN Game Plan package include, and how can it benefit the DISH Network satellite TV subscriber? This pay-per-view package is available either on a weekly or yearly subscription basis. Kicking off in early September, and running through the end of November, the ESPN GamePlan package gives the viewer access to 12 out of market games every Saturday.

Since college games often run longer than NFL games, and start at different times throughout the day, some games are joined in progress. Because of this, you will not alway be able to see some ESPN GamePlan games in their entirety. Games are also subject to various blackout rules, so check with your provider to get all of the details.

ESPN GamePlan through DISH Network includes most of the ABC regional games, and may also play games normally available from other syndicators. Pricing for this year has been set at $129 for the whole season, or can be purchased for $21.95 per week. Existing customers can subscribe by calling 1-800-333-DISH. If you are interested in subscribing to DISH Network with ESPN Gameplan, you can get 3 months free with this DISH Network deal. The games are also available to subscribers to ESPN360.com, available on the internet through various service providers.

The ESPN GamePlan is one of the few premium sports packages available through DISH Network. The ESPN Game Plan is also available for the same price through DIRECTV, as well as several cable TV companies such as Comcast, Verizon FiOS, and Cox Cable.
