Disney+ Preps Global Coverage of Formula E

Coverage of the Formula E motorsport championship will be made available on Disney+ and ESPN+ in the U.S. and on Disney+ in most international markets beginning with the 2026/27 season.

“Formula E combines world-class competition, groundbreaking technology, and sustainability in a way that’s unlike any other sport,” said Joe Earley, co-president of direct-to-consumer at Disney Entertainment. “We’re excited to help power the championship’s next chapter on Disney+ and to give fans around the globe front row access to every adrenaline-fueled race as it happens.”

“This is a landmark moment for Formula E and reflects the incredible momentum behind our championship,” added Jeff Dodds, CEO of Formula E. “Disney’s unrivaled global reach and storytelling will introduce Formula E to millions of new fans while bringing them closer than ever to the drama, innovation and excitement of electric racing. As we enter the GEN4 era, this provides an exceptional platform to accelerate our global growth and continue building one of the world’s most exciting sports properties. We’re also excited by the opportunity to explore additional ways for Formula E and Disney to work together beyond live race coverage, creating even more innovative and engaging experiences for fans in the years ahead.”

Disney+ has been scaling up its live sports lineup, recently delivering the 2026 FIFA World Cup in South America; select LALIGA football rights in Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, the U.K., Ireland and France; NBA games in the Philippines; and UEFA Women’s Champions League across Europe and Latin America.
