Disney announced on Tuesday that it has 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. The new 2026-27 season will feature 21 rounds across 13 events, taking the series to major 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.
These new agreements expand Disney’s sports portfolio, which already includes select LALIGA football rights, NBA games, and the UEFA Women’s Champions League. While the financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, the league confirmed it will maintain its existing broadcast TV partnerships. This move marks a transition from previous arrangements that saw races aired on CBS, Paramount+, and The Roku Channel in the United States.
Majority-owned by Liberty Global, Formula E is preparing to debut its next-generation electric vehicle, the GEN4. The league describes the new model as “the debut of the fastest and most technologically advanced electric racing car ever built.”
