Formula E Makes Disney+ Global Home Starting 2026/27 Season

Big news in the world of electric racing: Formula E has officially made Disney+ its global streaming home for the World Championship starting in the 2026/27 season. The multi-year deal covers 144 territories, including the US where races will also stream on ESPN+. This is a massive leap for the growing series' popularity.

The move coincides with the debut of the GEN4 era, the fastest electric race car ever built. With 600kW of power—equivalent to more than 815 horsepower—it can sprint from 0-60 mph in about 1.8 seconds, roughly 30% faster than a Formula 1 car. Imagine the spectacle set to unfold at iconic circuits worldwide.

The 2026/27 calendar has also expanded to 21 races across 13 cities, kicking off in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on December 18, 2026, and concluding under the lights in Tokyo on July 25, 2027. Fans subscribing to Disney+ will get full live coverage of every practice, qualifying, and race, plus on-demand replays, preview and review shows, highlights, in-depth analysis, and behind-the-scenes content.

This is more than just a broadcast deal. As Jeff Dodds, CEO of Formula E, put it, this landmark moment reflects the championship's incredible momentum. "Disney's unparalleled global reach and storytelling will introduce Formula E to millions of new fans," he said. "We're also excited to explore additional ways to work together beyond live race coverage."

Joe Earley, Direct-to-Consumer Co-President at Disney Entertainment, added that Formula E combines world-class competition, groundbreaking technology, and sustainability. "We're proud to help power the championship's next chapter on Disney+ and give fans front-row access to every adrenaline-fueled race," he stated. Meanwhile, Formula E, majority-owned by Liberty Global, will retain its existing free-to-air and linear broadcast partnerships.

This deal is a breath of fresh air for racing fans in Indonesia and beyond. With Disney+ as a global platform, watching Formula E's thrilling action becomes easier than ever. And with the GEN4 era promising incredible speed, the 2026/27 season is one to watch. Who wouldn't be curious about the world's fastest electric racing?
