01

Where is the Disney+ live sports schedule?

Open Disney+ and choose the ESPN icon. Inside the hub, browse Sports and Leagues or search for your event. Disney's ESPN hub instructions explain that the available content depends on your plan.

Our weekly sports schedule helps identify an announced source. Confirm the teams, start time and playable event in Disney+; captured listings below may be incomplete. An empty list does not mean Disney+ has no sports.

02

What sports come with Disney+ alone?

Disney describes ESPN Favorites, On Us as a limited, rotating selection of games, events and sports programming for Disney+ subscribers without an ESPN bundle. The selection can change each month. This is included access with a paid Disney+ subscription; it does not give you the full ESPN lineup. Disney's U.S. offer specifies residents age 18 or older, with terms and restrictions.

Check whether your exact event is in that included selection before adding a plan. A league logo or another unlocked game does not establish access to every game in that league.

03

ESPN Select or Unlimited: check your tier

  • ESPN SelectIncludes ESPN+ content, such as eligible college sports, hockey, soccer and tennis. It does not supply the full ESPN network lineup.
  • ESPN UnlimitedIncludes Select content plus ESPN networks and services, including ESPN, ESPN2, ACC Network and SEC Network.

The ESPN access explanation covers linked subscriptions and bundles. Compare our ESPN+ / Select guide and ESPN Unlimited guide. These tiers describe ESPN access; they do not guarantee every broadcaster's games.

04

Check existing access and missing content

Disney says the email addresses for your Disney+ and ESPN subscriptions must match. Eligible TV-provider ESPN Unlimited access must be activated first. Follow the official setup instructions before purchasing duplicate access.

If content is missing, check your subscription tier, linked login and profile's parental controls. Unrated live sports can be hidden by those controls; review Disney's guidance and choose settings appropriate for the profile.

Regional blackouts can apply, and Disney says pay-per-view events are not available in the Disney+ app. Use the exact event's access prompts rather than assuming a bundle covers it.

U.S. plan and access guidance checked October 2, 2026. Included events, plans and regional availability can change.
