Disney+ to stream Super Bowl LXI in 2027

Disney+ will stream Super Bowl LXI in 2027, giving viewers another option to watch the NFL’s biggest annual event alongside traditional broadcasts on ESPN and ABC.

The championship game is scheduled for February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The event will be the first Super Bowl produced and broadcast by ESPN.

Disney+ subscribers in the United States will be able to watch the same English-language coverage carried by ESPN and ABC. A Spanish-language broadcast from ESPN Deportes will also be available.

The streaming service will additionally carry the game in more than 55 international markets. These will include countries and regions across Latin America, Brazil, the Caribbean, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

The move marks another major step in Disney+’s expansion into live sports. The platform is gradually adding more ESPN programming to its streaming offering.

Before the Super Bowl, Disney+ will also stream two Monday Night Football games. The first will feature the Dallas Cowboys against the Philadelphia Eagles on October 26. Details of the second game will be announced later.

Fans in the US will continue to have access to the game through the ESPN app. ESPN’s coverage will include its main broadcast, the Spanish-language telecast and the popular ManningCast featuring Peyton and Eli Manning.

Disney is also planning extensive coverage around Super Bowl week. ESPN will set up a temporary broadcast hub called ESPN Beach at Santa Monica Beach. The week-long operation will begin on February 8 and include a free fan experience at the Santa Monica Pier.

Super Bowl LXI has already attracted strong interest from advertisers. Disney said all commercial slots on ABC and ESPN have been sold, marking the earliest Super Bowl advertising sell-out by a network.

A total of 58 brands from 34 categories have secured advertising spots. Nine of those companies will make their Super Bowl advertising debut.
