Disney+ will carry a live broadcast of Super Bowl LXI in 2027, extending the platform’s sports coverage to the league’s championship game. The streaming will be available in the United States and in dozens of international markets, aligning the service with ESPN’s broader rollout of Super Bowl‑related programming.
In addition to the championship, Disney+ is slated to air two Monday Night Football games that precede the Super Bowl, providing subscribers with additional live football content in the weeks leading up to the title match. The platform will also stream the “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” celebration, expanding its holiday‑season offerings.
The decision reflects Disney’s strategy to position Disney+ as the primary digital hub for the company’s content. Executive Josh D'Amaro has indicated that the service is intended to become the “digital centerpiece” of Disney’s overall media portfolio, integrating entertainment, sports and special‑event programming.
By streaming the Super Bowl and related events, Disney aims to create a large advertising canvas for the high‑value commercial inventory associated with the game. The move is part of a broader effort to maximize revenue opportunities across the company’s streaming and broadcast assets.
Overall, the 2027 Super Bowl will be accessible to Disney+ subscribers both domestically and internationally, alongside supplementary football broadcasts and a New Year’s special, underscoring the platform’s expanding role in Disney’s content distribution strategy.
