ESPN Radio is a national sports radio network based in the United States. It was launched on January 1, 1992 under the original banner of "SportsRadio ESPN." ESPN Radio is located at ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut. The network airs a regular schedule of daily and weekly programming as well as live coverage of Major League Baseball, National Basketball Association, Bowl Championship Series, and National Invitation Tournament games. As of 2006, like ESPN, ESPN Radio now has what is called ESPN Radio Insider. ESPN Radio is broadcast to subscribers of both Sirius Satellite Radio and XM Satellite Radio.

ESPN Radio currently has five company-owned stations in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, and Pittsburgh. Most other markets have ESPN Radio affiliates, whether they be part-time or have their entire format dedicated to ESPN Radio. ESPN Radio is currently an official part of the ABC Radio network, though the Walt Disney Company is not including the ESPN Radio network or the Radio Disney network in the pending sale of ABC Radio to Citadel Broadcasting.
