Unlinking deletes the ESPN session cookie from this browser. You can also sign out of ESPN everywhere from your ESPN account settings. How we handle it
FASTEST — PASTE TWO COOKIES
Copy your two ESPN cookies
New tab → espn.com → sign in (person icon, top-right). You must see your name/avatar.
Press F12. Nothing? ⋮ menu → More tools → Developer tools.
Along the panel's top, click the Application tab (hidden under » if you don't see it · Firefox: Storage).
Left sidebar → Storage → Cookies → https://www.espn.com
In the Filter box type espn_s2 → double-click its Value → Ctrl+C → paste below.
Clear the filter, type SWID → copy that value (looks like {XXXX-…}) → paste below too.
On a Mac using Safari?
Safari → Settings → Advanced → check Show Develop menu.
Develop → Show Web Inspector → Storage → Cookies → espn.com — same two values.
OPTIONAL — ONE-TAP BOOKMARK
Make a one-tap bookmark
Create it by hand once (dragging code bookmarks gets blocked in Edge) — then it's one tap forever:
Copy the bookmark code:
Right-click your bookmarks bar → Add page / New bookmark
Name it Connect ESPN, paste the code into the URL field → Save
Go to espn.com (logged in) → tap your Connect ESPN bookmark
ON YOUR PHONE?
Phones can't read cookies
1. Try Sign in with ESPN on the Coach page (works for some accounts).
2. Or borrow any computer for 60 seconds — the link sticks for ~6 months.
