ESPN2HD is a cable television network owned by Disney that broadcasts 24/7. It is a high definition simulcast of programs from ESPN2 including live sports and specials.

ESPN2HD has been adding more high definition programing with the addition of "NASCAR Now", "ESPN First Take", and "Mike and Mike in the Morning". All three shows are broadcast from the "ESPN Digital Center" in Bristol, Connecticut. There are at least 8 and a 1/2 hours per day of High Definition programing plus whatever live sporting events are shown.

For the 2006 FIFA World Cup, most games were shown on ESPN2 and ESPN2HD, marking a major milestone for the network. Availability of the network is growing, with more cable providers (Cablevision, Comcast, Cox, Time Warner Cable, and others) and satellite providers (Dish Network and DirecTV) carrying the HD version.
