Disney+ today launched ESPN on Disney+ in Australia and New Zealand, bringing blockbuster matchups, unmissable moments and more than 10,000 hours of ESPN’s live sports action to the platform.

ESPN on Disney+ is now streaming and included for all Australia and New Zealand subscribers, both Disney+ Premium and Disney+ Standard.

Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios – also a Boston Celtics and NBA mega fan – helms a full-scale marketing campaign across all platforms to launch ESPN on Disney+ and encourage subscribers to ‘Turn It On’.

The first seven days start with must-watch NBA action as the race to the NBA Playoffs heats up. Back-to-back Live NBA double headers tip off proceedings, headlined by superstars Stephen Curry and LeBron James. Jayson Tatum and the defending NBA champion Boston Celtics face off against the Phoenix Suns across March 26 and 27. 

The Major League Baseball season opens stateside on March 28 with the New York Yankees meeting the Milwaukee Brewers in a special presentation, to be called by iconic ESPN voice Joe Buck, before Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers return to Dodger Stadium to continue their World Series defence.

The NCAA Basketball Championship hits the ‘Sweet 16’ stage on March 28 as March Madness reaches the final stages; and Australian UFC championship contender Steven Erceg will battle former champion Brandon Moreno at UFC Fight Night live from Mexico City on March 30.

The new ESPN hub on Disney+ includes live ESPN and ESPN2 channels, fan-favourite studio shows such as SportsCenter, The Pat McAfee Show, NBA Today, and First Take, along with live events and on-demand replays, and iconic original programming including ESPN’s award-winning library of 30 for 30 films.

It’s the new home ground for sports entertainment.

“ESPN is the seventh addition to our Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic and Star content hubs. Adrenaline-pumping sports are the perfect match up with our must-stream shows, like Daredevil: Born Again and High Potential, all on platform together like only Disney+ can do.

“ESPN expands our audience by bringing 10,000 hours of live sports action to Disney+, plus live events and on-demand replays, which represents additional value for subscribers and is a big win for sports fans, coming into what are sure to be nail-biting NBA Playoffs.”
