Comcast subscribers also can watch the channels on WatchESPN.com if they provide their Comcast credentials.
Later this week, Comast says WatchESPN will be available on XfinityTV.com. Comcast acquired the mobile-streaming rights to ESPN content in a 10-year rights deal, valued at about $26 billion, with the Disney Co in January.
