Formula E Signs Multi‑Year Global Streaming Deal With Disney+

The agreement will deliver live coverage of every session plus expanded on‑demand and original programming from the 2026/27 GEN4 season to broaden the sport’s audience and commercial reach.

Overview

  • Formula E, which announced the deal Tuesday, will stream on Disney+ across 144 territories and on ESPN+ in the United States beginning with the 2026/27 GEN4 season.
  • Subscribers will get live coverage of every practice, qualifying session and race plus preview and review shows, highlights, analysis, behind‑the‑scenes content and full replays on demand.
  • The streaming pact will sit alongside Formula E’s existing free‑to‑air and linear broadcast partners while production and presentation details are finalised ahead of a pre‑season test at Jarama in November.
  • Negotiations were cultivated over roughly two years with lead roles played by Formula E CEO Jeff Dodds, Liberty Global executives and media‑rights specialists including Michaella Snoeck, and Disney execs who attended recent E‑Prix events.
  • Teams and manufacturers such as Porsche and Cupra expect the wider distribution to improve commercial returns and visibility, and the sport’s promotional push — including driver appearances on Good Morning America — aims to bring Formula E to millions of new households.
