Formula E, Disney+, and ESPN today announced a landmark multi-year agreement that will make Disney+ the global streaming home of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship across 144 territories – including the U.S., where it will stream alongside ESPN+ – beginning with the 2026/27 Season.
The agreement marks one of the most significant milestones in Formula E’s history, bringing together Disney’s unrivalled global entertainment platforms with the world’s leading all-electric motorsport Championship. Majority-owned by Liberty Global, Formula E will leverage Disney’s global streaming ecosystem to reach millions of new households, complementing its established portfolio of free-to-air and linear broadcast partners worldwide. This ensures fans continue to enjoy broad access across key markets.
Launching alongside the revolutionary GEN4 era, the collaboration will introduce Formula E to millions of new fans through Disney+ while preserving the broad accessibility that has underpinned the Championship’s success to date.
The 2026/27 Season marks the arrival of Formula E’s revolutionary GEN4 era 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 sets a new benchmark. The new season will also introduce an enhanced race weekend format designed to deliver even closer racing, greater sporting jeopardy, and more action for fans. The expanded calendar features 21 races across 13 iconic cities, beginning in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on December 18, 2026, and concluding under the lights in Tokyo on July 25, 2027.
Subscribers on Disney+ across 144 territories, including the U.S., where it will stream alongside ESPN+, will enjoy comprehensive live coverage of every Formula E race weekend, including every practice session, qualifying session, and race.
Beyond the live action, fans will have access to dedicated 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 expanded streaming offering will complement Formula E’s existing broadcast partnerships, providing fans with more ways to experience the Championship.
