Disney+ will carry Super Bowl LXI, scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 14, 2027, adding the streaming service to the U.S. distribution plan for ESPN's first production of the NFL championship game, according to Sports Video Group.
The service will offer the primary English-language broadcast, which features Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, Lisa Salters, and Laura Rutledge, as well as the Spanish-language telecast from ESPN Deportes. Subscribers will be able to watch without switching to a separate sports-focused platform, Sports Video Group reported.
Disney+ joins a domestic lineup that already includes ESPN, ABC, ESPN Deportes, and the ESPN App. The ESPN App remains the broadest digital option for the event, carrying the English and Spanish broadcasts, the ManningCast with Peyton and Eli Manning on ESPN2, Super Bowl Sunday studio shows, and coverage across the week leading up to the game.
