Overview
- ESPN announced Tuesday that Disney+ will stream two college football games each Saturday this fall and will continue carrying the College GameDay pregame show.
- The Week 0–3 slate published by ESPN lists one noon and one 3:30 p.m. ET game each week and includes matchups such as North Carolina vs. TCU and Alabama at Kentucky.
- ESPN’s highest-profile ABC Saturday-night primetime games are not on the Disney+ simulcast list so far, signaling top-tier matchups will remain on traditional ABC/ESPN broadcasts.
- All games shown on Disney+ will also be available on the ESPN app, and fans who need full access to a single team’s full season will likely still need an ESPN Unlimited subscription.
- The change, first disclosed during Disney’s Q3 earnings call, fits a broader industry trend of consolidating live sports into platform-controlled bundles to boost subscriptions and bundles.
