Disney+ will stream Super Bowl LXI live for U.S. subscribers on February 14, 2027, Disney announced Wednesday. The NFL championship game, scheduled for SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, will simultaneously air on ABC and ESPN, marking the first Super Bowl produced and carried by ESPN.

U.S. Disney+ viewers will receive the same English-language broadcast shown on ABC and ESPN, with Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, Lisa Salters and Laura Rutledge on the coverage team. A Spanish-language presentation from ESPN Deportes will also be available. The game will stream through Disney+ in more than 55 international markets, including Latin America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

Disney+ will also carry two Monday Night Football games before the Super Bowl. The first, on October 26, will feature the Dallas Cowboys against the Philadelphia Eagles. The second matchup has not been announced.

The game will remain available through the ESPN app in the United States, where ESPN plans to offer its main broadcast, the ESPN Deportes telecast and the ManningCast with Peyton and Eli Manning. Disney said advertising inventory for the ABC and ESPN broadcast has already sold out, which the company described as the earliest Super Bowl commercial sellout by a network.
