Formula E will be streamed on Disney+ across 144 territories beginning with the 2026/27 season, following a landmark multi-year agreement announced jointly by Formula E, Disney+ and ESPN.
The deal, which covers the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, will also see the series stream on ESPN+ in the United States.
It represents one of the most significant broadcasting milestones in Formula E's history, with majority owner Liberty Global leveraging Disney's global streaming ecosystem to bring the all-electric championship to millions of new households worldwide.
Subscribers will receive comprehensive live coverage of every race weekend, including practice sessions, qualifying and races. The offering extends beyond live action, with dedicated preview and review shows, race highlights, in-depth analysis, exclusive behind-the-scenes programming and full race replays available on demand following each event.
The new streaming deal will sit alongside Formula E's existing free-to-air and linear broadcast partnerships.
The agreement launches in tandem with the GEN4 era, which introduces the fastest and most technologically advanced electric racing car ever built. Producing 600kW of power, equivalent to more than 815 horsepower, the GEN4 car accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in approximately 1.8 seconds, around 30% faster than a Formula 1 car.
The 2026/27 season features 21 races across 13 cities, opening in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on 18 December 2026 and concluding in Tokyo on 25 July 2027. An enhanced race weekend format has also been introduced to deliver closer racing and greater sporting jeopardy.
Formula E CEO Jeff Dodds described the agreement as a defining moment for the championship.
"This is a landmark moment for Formula E and reflects the incredible momentum behind our Championship," he said.
"Disney's unrivalled global reach and storytelling will introduce Formula E to millions of new fans while bringing them closer than ever to the drama, innovation and excitement of electric racing.
“As we enter the GEN4 era, this provides an exceptional platform to accelerate our global growth and continue building one of the world's most exciting sports properties. We're also excited by the opportunity to explore additional ways for Formula E and Disney to work together beyond live race coverage."
