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.

Despite the name of the network, it is typical for a day to pass without a single high definition presentation on ESPN2HD. Arguably the network's most popular program, Cold Pizza, is not presented in high definition.

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 (Comcast, Cox, and others) and satellite providers (Dish Network, and DirecTV) carrying the HD version.
