Overview
- ESPN, Disney and the NFL announced on Wednesday that Disney+ will livestream Super Bowl LXI on Feb. 14, 2027, providing the same English broadcast that airs on ESPN and ABC and the Spanish ESPN Deportes feed to all U.S. Disney+ subscribers.
- The Disney+ simulcast will also be available in more than 55 international markets, including Latin America, Brazil, the Caribbean, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
- Disney confirmed two Monday Night Football games will stream on Disney+ this season, starting with Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles on Oct. 26, 2026, with the second matchup to be announced later.
- Disney said ABC and ESPN sold out Super Bowl LXI commercial inventory early with 58 brands across 34 categories, and industry reporting indicates Disney+ streaming will be folded into Nielsen’s official viewership totals.
- ESPN’s linear channels and the ESPN App will continue to carry all Monday Night Football games, Super Bowl studio programming and alternate telecasts such as the ManningCast, keeping multiple feeds available across platforms.
