Disney wins global streaming rights for Formula E races
Disney said on Tuesday it had signed a multi-year deal to stream all-electric Formula E races globally across 144 territories on Disney+, with races also available on ESPN and ESPN+ in the U.S.
Demand for live sports programming is seen as key for the media industry as it draws young fans in and helps keep streaming subscribers engaged for months with regular events.
The new 2026-27 season will feature 21 rounds across 13 events, taking Formula E to cities including Jeddah, Austin, Miami, Monaco and Mexico City. The campaign begins on December 18 in Jeddah and concludes with the final round in Tokyo on July 25 next year.
