Disney+ will serve as the new global streaming home for Formula E, with coverage beginning in December alongside the arrival of the GEN4 car and the 2026/2027 season.
The streaming deal marks a significant shift for the electric racing series, consolidating its digital presence under Disney's entertainment umbrella. ESPN+ will also carry Formula E content, leveraging Disney's existing sports infrastructure.
The partnership aligns with Formula E's expansion strategy and the introduction of next-generation vehicles designed to enhance on-track competition. The GEN4 car represents a major technological upgrade for the series, featuring improved performance and sustainability features.
This move brings Formula E into closer competition with traditional motorsports coverage, which has increasingly migrated to streaming platforms. Disney's global reach positions the series for wider international exposure, particularly in regions where ESPN+ maintains strong subscriber bases.
The deal duration and specific content details remain subject to regional variations, as Disney typically negotiates territory-specific agreements. The shift reflects the broader industry trend of premium sports content moving from traditional broadcast to subscription platforms.
