Formula E, Disney+ and ESPN Aug. 11 announced a multi-year agreement that will make Disney+ the global streaming home of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship for all-electric race cars across 144 territories – including the U.S., where it will stream alongside ESPN+ – beginning with the 2026/27 season.
Majority-owned by Liberty Global, Formula E will leverage Disney’s global streaming ecosystem while complementing its established portfolio of free-to-air and linear broadcast partners around the world.
Launching alongside the next-generation GEN4 race cars, Disney+ subs will have access to every Formula E race weekend, including every practice session, qualifying session and race.
Beyond the live action, viewers will have access to preview and review shows, race highlights, in-depth analysis, exclusive behind-the-scenes programming and full race replays on demand immediately following each event.
“This is a landmark moment for Formula E and reflects the incredible momentum behind our championship,” said Jeff Dodds, CEO of Formula E.
The 2026/27 campaign marks the arrival of GEN4, and the debut of the fastest and most technologically advanced electric racing car ever built.
With 600kW of power, equivalent to more than 815 horsepower, and 0–60 mph in approximately 1.8 seconds, around 30% faster than an F1 car, GEN4 aims to set a new benchmark.
“Formula E combines world-class competition, groundbreaking technology, and sustainability in a way that’s unlike any other sport. We’re excited to help power the championship’s next chapter on Disney+ and to give fans around the globe front row access to every adrenaline-fueled race as it happens,” added Joe Earley, co-president, direct-to-consumer, Disney Entertainment.
