How To Turn Off Closed Caption On Espn Plus App

Okay, let's talk about something slightly controversial. Maybe even...unpopular.

Closed captions. On ESPN+.

The Caption Conundrum

We've all been there. You fire up the app. Ready for some intense sports action. But wait...there's a wall of text at the bottom.

It's the closed captions! Are they always on for you too?

The Quest for Quiet

So, you decide it's time for a change. Time to banish those words from your screen. Because really, you're trying to watch sports, not read a novel.

Here's how to get rid of them. Let's dive in.

First, start playing whatever you want to watch. Get that game going.

Then, tap the screen. You should see some icons pop up.

Look for something that resembles a gear or a settings icon. Sometimes it's three dots stacked on top of each other.

Now, tap that little icon. A menu should appear.

See the option labeled "Subtitles" or "Closed Captions"? It's hiding somewhere in there.

Tap it. You're almost there.

Another menu should open. This is the final stretch!

Now, find the "Off" option. Select it. Banish those captions!

You might need to back out of the menus. Go back to enjoying ESPN+ in peace.

The Remote Route

Using a streaming device like Roku or Fire TV?

The process might be slightly different. But the goal remains the same: find those settings!

Usually, you can access the caption settings from the device's main menu. Not always within the ESPN+ app itself.

Dig around in your device's accessibility settings. Look for "Captions" or "Subtitles". Turn them off there.

Why Bother Turning Them Off?

Some people love closed captions. And that's totally cool.

But for others, it’s just too much. Maybe you find them distracting? Or maybe you just prefer the raw, unfiltered sports experience?

Plus, sometimes they're just wrong! Or hilariously delayed.

I've seen captions that have nothing to do with the game. Total gibberish, or even random song lyrics!

It's like a weird, unintentional comedy routine superimposed over your favorite game. Not exactly ideal viewing.

"Captions are great...when they actually match what's being said!"

So, congratulations! You've successfully navigated the treacherous waters of caption control. You're now free to enjoy ESPN+ in blissful, text-free silence.

Now, go forth and watch some sports. Without the words getting in the way.

Just remember: this is all about personal preference. If you like captions, keep them on! If not, now you know how to turn them off.

Happy viewing!
