Disney+ will stream Super Bowl LXI live on February 14, 2027, making the NFL championship game available to all U.S. subscribers at no additional cost while expanding its reach across more than 55 international markets, according to official announcements from The Walt Disney Company and ESPN.
Super Bowl LXI Streaming Access on Disney+
The February 14, 2027 matchup at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, will be broadcast on Disney+ for every domestic subscriber. Viewers in the United States will receive the unified ESPN and ABC telecast, featuring Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, Lisa Salters, and Laura Rutledge. A Spanish-language feed via ESPN Deportes will also stream concurrently on the platform. International audiences in more than 55 markets—including Brazil, Spanish-speaking Latin America, the Caribbean, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand—will access the game directly through Disney+. Linear television broadcasts will simultaneously carry the game to viewers in over 130 countries and territories worldwide.
Expanded Regular Season Football Schedules
Alongside the Super Bowl agreement, Disney announced that its streaming platform will carry selected regular-season games during the fall football calendar. Two Monday Night Football matchups will appear on Disney+, beginning October 26 when the Dallas Cowboys travel to face the Philadelphia Eagles. A second fixture will be scheduled later. Neither contest is exclusive to the streaming service, as both games will continue to air on linear networks including ESPN, ABC, and ESPN Deportes. All Monday Night Football games and championship programming—including the alternate ManningCast broadcast hosted by Peyton and Eli Manning on ESPN2—remain accessible via the ESPN App across the United States.
Disney Sells Out Super Bowl Advertising Inventory Early
Commercial interest for the broadcast reached high levels during Disney’s fiscal third-quarter earnings cycle in August, when the company reported the earliest complete sellout of advertising inventory by a broadcaster in Super Bowl history. Commitments from 58 distinct brands spanning 34 product categories secured the commercial lineup, with nine companies making their debut as Super Bowl advertisers. For any reserved slots that might be relinquished by committed brands, Variety reports that Disney has established a pricing structure ranging from $10 million to $12 million for a single 30-second commercial unit.
Pre-Game Fan Activations in Southern California
Ahead of kickoff at SoFi Stadium, ESPN has scheduled a dedicated broadcast headquarters known as ESPN Beach at Santa Monica Beach, opening on February 8. The setup will operate alongside a complimentary public fan experience hosted on the Santa Monica Pier, anchoring the network’s production schedule leading into the championship broadcast.
