Unable to activate ESPN+ on Apple TV

Hi I am unable to activate my ESPN+ account on Apple TV.


I am able to visit espn.com/activate, and enter the 6-character activation code. After entering the code on the web site, I see a confirmation message saying Success (screenshot attached).


However, the Apple TV app does not refresh after entering the code.

I had a VPN on that was not playing nicely with ESPN. I changed my VPN and it worked immediately.


Check if the [same] VPN is activated on your Apple TV and on your iPhone (or whichever device is being used to access the espn.com/activate URL).


If you aren't using a VPN - check that you don't have a profile or anything that causes a conflict installed on either of your devices.


This worked for me.
