For the first time in history, the Super Bowl will be available for streaming on Disney+ in 2027.
Disney and the NFL announced today that Super Bowl LXI, scheduled for February 14, 2027, will be broadcast live across ABC and ESPN, while also being accessible for streaming on Disney+. This transition marks a significant shift in how fans will be able to watch one of America’s most iconic sporting events, broadening its reach by offering multiple viewing options.
Dual Broadcast and Streaming Features
The simultaneous broadcast will include commentary from renowned sports voices Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, Lisa Salters, and Laura Rutledge, ensuring a familiar and engaging viewing experience for audiences. Importantly, subscribers to Disney+ will not need a separate subscription tier to access the Super Bowl, making it more accessible for viewers.
In addition to the Super Bowl, Disney also revealed plans to stream two Monday Night Football games on Disney+ this season. The first game will feature the Cowboys facing off against the Eagles on October 26, with a second matchup yet to be announced.
Shifting Landscape of Super Bowl Broadcasting
With Super Bowl LXI coinciding with Valentine’s Day, it introduces a unique twist to the day’s celebrations for football enthusiasts. Furthermore, Disney has promised an expanding selection of domestic and global live sports on Disney+, suggesting a broader array of sports events will be accessible for streaming in the future.
