You can watch the 2026 Super Bowl on Disney+ in many regions, but with some important caveats and alternatives to know about.

Quick scoop

  • Super Bowl LX (2026) is being shown on NBC on traditional TV in the U.S.
  • It is also streaming on Peacock, plus through several live‑TV streaming services that carry NBC.
  • Disney has announced that, for the first time , the big game will stream live on Disney+ in certain markets, via ESPN/Disney’s rights.
  • Availability and the exact “Disney+ hub” can differ by country, so you need to check your local Disney+ app or regional help page.

Can I watch the Super Bowl on Disney+?

Disney itself has published a Super Bowl LX watch guide saying that, for the first time, the big game will be streaming live on Disney+. This means that in supported regions, you’ll be able to open Disney+, go to the sports/ESPN or featured Super Bowl area, and stream the game like any other live event (as long as you have an active Disney+ subscription).

However, Disney also notes that availability details are “correct as at the time of publication,” which is a hint that rights and regional access can shift, especially outside the U.S. In practice, some countries may get the full live stream on Disney+, while others might rely more on ESPN-branded apps, local broadcasters, or partner platforms that hold NFL rights.

Other ways to watch if Disney+ doesn’t show it for you

Even if Disney+ in your country doesn’t show the game live, you still have several streaming routes:

  • Peacock : Official NBC streaming service in the U.S.; Super Bowl LX is streaming there.
  • Live‑TV services with NBC : DirecTV Stream and Hulu + Live TV are repeatedly listed as options that carry NBC and Telemundo for the Super Bowl.
  • NFL+ : Offers a stream of the game, but limited to mobile devices; you need an NFL+ subscription and you watch on phone or tablet rather than TV by default.
  • International options :
    • U.K.: Super Bowl LX is scheduled to be available free on Channel 5 and via BBC/other listed services.
* Canada, Australia and other regions: Coverage is split among services like CTV/TSN/DAZN or 7plus/DAZN depending on country.

Earlier guides pointed out that, historically, Disney+ did not carry live NFL games and was focused on movies and shows. The 2026 Super Bowl stream on Disney+ is therefore a newer, special arrangement, not something that’s been standard for years.

How to quickly check for your account/region

  1. Open Disney+ and look at the homepage or Sports/ESPN area. In supported regions, Disney promotes Super Bowl LX prominently with live countdown or event tiles on the main screen.
  1. Search “Super Bowl” or “NFL” in‑app. If your region has direct streaming, you should see a dedicated Super Bowl LX page with a scheduled live event time.
  1. Check your local Disney+ help or promo page. Disney’s regional sites often post “how to watch” guides listing whether the game is live on Disney+ where you live.
  1. Have a backup ready. If you don’t see any Super Bowl tile or listing on game day, be prepared to switch to Peacock, a live‑TV streaming service with NBC, or your region’s listed broadcaster.

Quick forum‑style take

“So… can I just open Disney+ and hit play?”

  • If you’re in a region where Disney has confirmed the live stream (via Disney+ watch guide or in‑app Super Bowl hub): yes, Disney+ alone should be enough, assuming you’re subscribed.
  • If you don’t see any Super Bowl promotion inside Disney+ close to game day: treat Disney+ as bonus content (analysis, countdown shows, replays) and plan to watch the main live game on Peacock, NBC via a live‑TV service, or your local listed broadcaster/streamer.

TL;DR: In 2026, Disney+ is finally streaming the Super Bowl live in some regions, but it isn’t guaranteed everywhere; if your Disney+ app doesn’t show a clear Super Bowl live event, use Peacock, an NBC-carrying live‑TV streamer, NFL+, or your local broadcaster instead.
