Disney+ will livestream the 2027 Super Bowl, making it available to all U.S. subscribers. The platform will also carry the Spanish-language broadcast on ESPN Deportes and stream the game in over 55 international markets. This marks a significant shift in sports broadcasting rights, as the Super Bowl moves from NBC and Peacock to Disney's streaming service. In addition to the championship game, Disney+ will stream two Monday Night Football games during the regular season, starting with the Dallas Cowboys versus the Philadelphia Eagles on Oct. 26.
The regular-season games will continue to air on ESPN and ABC, ensuring multi-platform coverage. This expansion strengthens Disney's position in the sports streaming space and offers fans more flexibility in how they watch major NFL events. The move reflects the growing trend of sports content migrating from traditional cable to streaming platforms, catering to changing viewer habits.
