The ESPN app uses subtitles for live sports events, news, analysis, and other sports shows or videos. It works in much the same way as other streaming apps. Subtitles are necessary for many people in certain situations, but sometimes, they must be turned off.
Some viewers may prefer to watch videos without subtitles because they find them distracting or unnecessary. So if you need to turn off subtitles, you can do so in the ESPN app. In the same way, in the Samsung TV settings, the rest of the content of the local channels is streamed without subtitles. Therefore, follow the next methods to watch videos without subtitles.

What can you do if Closed Captions aren’t turning off on Samsung TV?
There could be a few reasons why the subtitles aren’t turned off on your Samsung TV. Some possible causes include:
- The source of the video may have hardcoded subtitles that cannot be turned off on the TV.
Hardcoded subtitles are permanently embedded into a video file and cannot be turned off or removed. They are often used in videos intended for foreign language audiences or for viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing. Hardcoded subtitles are different from soft subtitles, which can be turned on or off by the viewer and are often stored in a separate file from the video.
- The settings on your Samsung TV may not have been properly configured to turn off subtitles.
It can be due to many reasons. Sometimes it is caused by hardware problems. A hardware problem on your TV can cause the subtitle settings to turn off. Also, subtitle settings may differ depending on the video source. For example, a cable TV or streaming service may be necessary to adjust the settings for each source.
- A bug in the software of the Samsung TV or the app you’re using may prevent the subtitles from being turned off.
To confirm if the subtitles are hardcoded, you can try playing the same video on another device or platform and check if the subtitles are still appearing.
If the subtitles are not hardcoded, you can try double-checking the settings on your Samsung TV to ensure that the subtitles are turned off. Also, you can try resetting the TV to factory settings and reconfiguring the settings again to see if that fixes the problem.
If the problem persists, you may want to contact Samsung support or the app developer, and they will be able to give you more detailed instructions or troubleshoot the issue.
