ESPN BET Live is gone right now, but not forever.
The program has been off-air this month, but the plan is for it to be reimagined and ultimately return in a different form, an ESPN spokesperson confirmed to Front Office Sports. A timetable for the show’s comeback was not immediately known.
ESPN switched its gambling affiliation on Dec. 1, after pulling out of a deal to license its name to Penn Entertainment. DraftKings is ESPN’s new official betting odds provider. Penn transitioned its betting platform, ESPN Bet, into theScore Bet.
ESPN BET Live aired on weekdays on ESPN2. In its most recent form, it was hosted by Tyler Fulghum and featured regular analysts including Joe Fortenbaugh, Erin Dolan, Anita Marks, and Pamela Maldonado.
The show originally launched in 2019 as Daily Wager, hosted by Doug Kezirian. Kezirian left the network in 2023, and the show rebranded as ESPN BET Live in conjunction with the Penn deal later that year.
