Disney+ makes its bones as an entertainment app, and it’s easy to see why. After all, the streamer carries a large selection of Disney animated classics spanning decades, as well as newer hits from Pixar, the Marvel and Star Wars universes, and so much more. In 2026, the Disney+ app will fully integrate content from Hulu, making it even more of a one-stop destination for TV and movie lovers.

But for sports fans who subscribe to ESPN’s direct-to-consumer service as part of their Disney Bundle, the Disney+ app is also an expansive sports streaming service. Which live sports are available on Disney+? We’ll explain in more detail below.

Everything you need to know about live sports on Disney+

Which live sports are on Disney+ in 2026?

Let’s start with the sports that are available to subscribers who don’t get ESPN as part of the Disney Bundle. If you’re only signed up for Disney+, or a combination of only Disney+ and Hulu, there are still occasional ESPN events shown on the streamer, including select “Monday Night Football” games, NBA games. college sports contests, and more. The schedule of these events is irregular, however, being solely at Disney’s discretion.

Viewers who receive ESPN Select as part of their Disney Bundle can watch a much wider array of live sports on the Disney+ app, including thousands of college and pro sports events shown on ESPN+. Opening the Disney+ app and clicking over to the ESPN tab will show you the complete list of live events available currently; ESPN+ carries a wide range of college sports events, soccer, out-of-market NHL games, and more.

Subscribers who upgraded all the way to ESPN Unlimited with their Disney Bundle can stream the ESPN family of channels live on the Disney+ app, unlocking every live sporting event found on those channels. This means any NFL, NBA, NHL, or MLB game on linear ESPN networks can be streamed on Disney+, as well as all college sports and other live events on those channels — as long as the subscriber is signed up to ESPN Unlimited.

Do you have to pay more to watch live sports on Disney+?

As mentioned above, Disney does choose to stream a selection of live sports events to all Disney+ subscribers at no additional cost.

The least expensive Disney Bundle to include ESPN Select costs $20 per month, while the cheapest bundle with access to ESPN Unlimited checks in at $36 per month.

Will Disney+ add more live sports in the future?

Further integrations with ESPN could indeed be in Disney+’s future, especially since ESPN is set to acquire a host of properties from NFL Media — including NFL Network. That deal could close as early as April 2026, and if it does, Disney+ could get a lot more NFL content for ESPN subscribers before the year is out.

Are live sports available in 4K on Disney+?

While Disney+ does offer a selection of on-demand content in 4K to its Premium subscribers, it does not consistently stream live sports in 4K yet.
