cannot access ESPN Unlimited content

I followed instructions to click the Activate Now in the email offer for free ESPN unlimited. I went to the ESPN app and created and logged into MyDisney and then to the Xfinity login, both of which said Successful, but it doesn't allow access to content and continues to send me back to a window to select which plan I want to buy. My Xfinity app shows ESPN Unlimited is Active, I've signed out of both MyDisney and Xfinity provider, going out/back into the ESPN app, repeated for multiple devices, but no success.  I restarted the gateway and rebooted the X1 box, signed out/in multiple times in the ESPN app, same result.  Any help available?

NOT SO HAPPY UPDATE TO THE UPDATE: now ESPN app content is not available again. I initiated a live chat and was told "... subscription was for 1 year and it has expired. Now, if you want to add it separately... and it will cost you $22/month." But it was effective in Feb of 2026, so it hasn't been a year. Then I was told that the offer was "for the next-gen plan" and that I am on the "old-gen bundle plan". I was offered the "next-gen plan" , and when I said I would consider the information, it was suggested that I "grab this deal now", and then continued the sales pitch. Our Xfinity bill is a significant cost and I don't appreciate the "ESPN Unlimited at no cost" and then after having to work through to get it to work, works for a short time, and then was no longer available at no cost and told that it was only a 1 year subscription.

“My Xfinity Subscription Hub shows ESPN Unlimited as Included and Active, but my MyDisney/ESPN account shows no subscription. When I select Unlimited content, ESPN asks me to authenticate with Xfinity. Authentication succeeds and sends me back to Xfinity, where Unlimited again shows Active, but ESPN never receives the entitlement. Please check which MyDisney email address my ESPN Unlimited entitlement is provisioned to and reprovision/relink the entitlement if necessary.”   I am so frustrated.  I have been trying for several months with at least 10 phone calls to Xfinity, 2 home visits by techs and 2 visits to the Xfinity store.
