ESPN announced that the game would be broadcast on Disney+ on Feb. 14, 2027. This is a third option for fans to watch it besides ESPN and ABC.

Troy Aikman and Joe Buck will call the game , with Lisa Salters and Laura Rutledge also present. A ManningCast alternative broadcast will also air with Peyton and Eli Manning.

How to watch ESPN's Super Bowl 61 in February 2027 on Disney+

The Super Bowl can be watched on traditional TV channels like ABC and ESPN. Disney+ subscribers will also be able to stream it on the platform.

Fans not at SoFi Stadium will have several options to enjoy the game. It marks the first time ESPN has broadcast the game (ABC last aired a Super Bowl in 2006).

The game will be played at SoFi Stadium, the home of the Los Angeles Chargers and Rams, on Feb. 14. SoFi Stadium also hosted the game in 2022 when the Rams beat the Cincinnati Bengals.

Who will play in the game is still being decided. The Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots in the game last year, which was played at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

A month into the 2026 NFL regular season, there are only three undefeated teams: the San Francisco 49ers, the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Minnesota Vikings. There are also several 3-1 teams, including the New York Giants, the Buffalo Bills, the Cleveland Browns, the Baltimore Ravens, the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Chicago Bears, and the Seahawks.
