Disney+ will livestream Super Bowl LXI on Sunday, February 14, 2027, giving US subscribers access to ESPN and ABC’s game presentation plus ESPN Deportes Spanish-language coverage.
Disney has sold all ad spaces for the game as of August, underscoring strong commercial interest.
Two Monday Night Football games this season will be carried on Disney+, with the Eagles vs. Cowboys game on October 26 serving as the first MNF telecast and a second game to be announced.

The rights are discussed within the broader NFL-season media landscape, with reference to Deadline coverage and industry notes.
Cord-cutting trends and the relevance of streaming options for major live events are highlighted.
Past halftime show controversies and prior headliners (e.g., Bad Bunny in 2026) are noted to frame political and cultural reactions to performances.

ESPN’s contract extension for Joe Buck is mentioned as part of ongoing programming and talent developments.
The change could expand access for cord-cutters and younger viewers, but raises questions about potential cost barriers since Disney+ is a paid service at $9.99/month, with possible free access options under discussion.
McAfee’s broader media presence is connected to the event through appearances and partnerships.
The move reflects a continuing trend of streaming platforms carrying major sports events, joining Peacock and Tubi in previous years, alongside traditional broadcasts.
