Formula E announced a global streaming agreement with Disney+ and ESPN encompassing over 144 countries, set to begin with the 2026-27 season in December [1, 2, 3]. The deal offers Disney+ subscribers worldwide live coverage of every session during race weekends, along with behind-the-scenes programming and on-demand race replays [1, 2].
Formula E Chief Executive Jeff Dodds called the partnership "a landmark moment for the Liberty Global-owned championship," adding that "Disney's unrivalled global reach and storytelling will introduce Formula E to millions of new fans" [1, 2]. The agreement complements Formula E's existing free-to-air and linear broadcast partners, maintaining broad accessibility for fans [1, 2].
The 2026-27 season will feature 21 rounds across 13 events, kicking off on December 18 in Saudi Arabia [1, 2, 3]. In the United States, all Formula E races will be streamed on Disney+ and ESPN+, following Apple’s recent acquisition of Formula One’s US broadcast rights in a five-year deal that started this season [1, 2, 3].
Formula E enters its GEN4 era next season with a new car capable of accelerating from 0-60 mph in approximately 1.8 seconds—faster than current Formula One cars [1, 2]. The current 2025-26 season concludes today in London, with the drivers’ championship still undecided [1, 2].
