Formula E moves to Disney+ and ESPN+ starting with the GEN4 era

Formula E has secured a new broadcasting home in the United States, with its races moving to Disney+ and ESPN+ beginning this December. The announcement comes as the all-electric racing series prepares to introduce its next-generation GEN4 car for the 2026-27 season, signaling a fresh chapter both on and off the track.

The multi-year partnership aims to expand the series’ reach among American audiences, leveraging Disney’s streaming platforms to deliver live races, highlights, and exclusive content. As part of the deal, ESPN+ will also air qualifying sessions and practice runs, giving subscribers comprehensive coverage of the championship.

For fans, the move means a seamless viewing experience, with all sessions available on a single platform. The GEN4 cars, which promise higher performance and faster charging, are expected to add excitement to the races, making the new broadcast deal timely. Disney+ will also feature behind-the-scenes documentaries, further immersing viewers in the world of electric racing.

This shift underscores Formula E’s ambition to grow its presence globally while aligning with the changing landscape of sports media consumption. With the season opener slated for December, anticipation is building for what could be a transformative year for the series.
