Formula E is coming to Disney+, bringing electric racing to a much bigger audience
Disney+ will become Formula E's global streaming home from the 2026-27 season, bringing every race weekend to viewers across 144 territories.
Formula E is set to become available on Disney+ starting from the 2026-27 season, bringing the all-electric racing championship to audiences across 144 territories. This multi-year agreement includes ESPN and ESPN+ coverage in the US. In participating markets, Disney+ subscribers will have access to live coverage of every Formula E race weekend, including practice sessions, qualifying rounds, and the races themselves.
On-demand replays and extra behind-the-scenes content will also be provided, giving the series additional exposure beyond the actual races. The deal will commence with the 2026-27 season, which will feature 21 rounds across 13 events. Formula E is transitioning into the GEN4 era, with new cars capable of producing up to 600kW of power and achieving a 0-60mph time of approximately 1.8 seconds.
This partnership comes at a perfect time for the championship, as the GEN4 cars are expected to bring significant technological advancements and new race formats, such as shorter E-Prix Unleashed races at certain double-header events. Disney+ aims to capitalize on the growing demand for live sports content, as the electric championship offers a unique combination of motorsport, technology, and sustainability.
For Formula E, the agreement provides broader access to a larger audience without requiring fans to search for different broadcasts in various markets.
