What to Watch on the ESPN Tile on Disney+

‘We’re going to have a Mickey and Minnie alt cast for the National Basketball Association Christmas Day games. So, there are a lot of those types of things,” Ferro said. “More women’s sports because we know that there are more women watching on Disney+.”

Select and bespoke programming for all Disney+ subscribers

In addition to Disney+ bundle subscribers, the company announced that all Disney+ subscribers will have the ability to see the Hulu and ESPN tiles on the platform. There, they can watch select programming and upgrade their subscriptions.

Initially, these subscribers can see a curated selection of live sports events, studio shows, and ESPN Films from ESPN+, as well as a select collection of TV series and films from Hulu.

Speaking about the unique nature of the tile, Ferro noted, “It allows us to bring [insight-driven programming] to the platform in a way that will be interesting, unique, and ultimately potentially create new content that’s unique and bespoke for the ESPN tile on Disney+.”

Additionally, Ferro explained the tile has its own merits outside of the ESPN flagship streamer that is set to debut in Fall 2025.

Though the flagship product is expected to be an immersive service that includes advanced statistics and fantasy gaming, Ferro said the tile will be “complementary” and more focused on video experiences instead.
