ESPN programming is expanding to more than 50 countries via the Disney+ app.
ESPN shows will become available across Europe and Asia-Pacific on Disney+, bringing total number of international markets to around 100.
The initial offering will vary by market but will grow to thousands of live events over the next year including NBA, NHL and college sports. Disney+ subs will also have access to ESPN’s 30 for 30 documentary collection and a library of films, along with select studio shows, including ESPN FC, ESPN’s global football news and information program.
In Europe, Disney said the expansion “builds upon a growing portfolio of world-class sports content on Disney+.” In select Asia-Pacific markets, which includes Japan, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong, a curated selection of English‑language ESPN sports programming will be available on Disney+ during an initial phase.
“This expansion marks an exciting next step for ESPN and Disney+ in our commitment to sports fans,” said Freddy Rolón, Head of Global Sports & Talent Office, ESPN. “ESPN has a longstanding tradition of delivering world-class content to sports fans, and the continued growth on Disney+ allows us to extend our reach and provide greater access and deeper connections with fans everywhere.”
