Where Does ESPN Store Favorites and Fantasy Data?
ESPN keeps favorite teams and fantasy data in your account with the phone holding session cache in a private sandbox.
Last updated
ESPN personalization is account-side. Favorite leagues and teams, fantasy rosters, and alert settings attach to the login. The sandbox holds session and cached scores.
ESPN+ subscription rides the same account across the ESPN and Disney bundle apps. Fantasy history persists season to season server-side. The phone keeps no record worth migrating.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move ESPN favorites to a new phone?
Log in on the new phone. Favorite teams, fantasy leagues, and alerts sync from the account. The sandbox held cached scores that rebuild on first open.
Do score alerts survive reinstalls?
They live in the account and trigger from the server. Reinstalling changes nothing. Re-grant notification permission on the new phone if alerts go quiet.
