Overview

  • Disney announced the ESPN Fan House on Monday, June 22, 2026, and said the platform will debut in August alongside ESPN’s college football coverage.
  • The omnichannel hub will offer fans live polls, trivia, sweepstakes, merchandise shopping, and social integrations that work at home, at games, and across ESPN’s digital platforms.
  • Flowcode will power updatable, branded QR interactions while Publicis Sports is the first agency signed to pilot participation-based sponsorships on the platform.
