Filipino sports fans now have another reason to keep Disney+ on the home screen.
ESPN on Disney+ is officially available in the Philippines, bringing a wide range of live sports, replays, studio programs, documentaries, and original content to subscribers through a dedicated ESPN hub inside the new Disney+ app.
The launch also comes with a fitting rallying cry for local fans: Ito ang Homecourt Mo!
It is a campaign built around something Filipinos know well: showing up for the big game, staying glued to every crucial possession, arguing over predictions, and celebrating the moments that become instant conversation starters.
With ESPN now part of the Disney+ experience, those moments have a new home.
A New Home for Live Sports on Disney+
Through the ESPN navigation tab, subscribers can access sports programming led by ESPN’s coverage, commentary, analysis, and studio production.
The line-up stretches across basketball, mixed martial arts, motorsports, college sports, documentaries, and more, while still sitting alongside Disney+‘s entertainment library from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, Hulu, and other brands.
The Philippines is an incredibly important sports market in Asia Pacific, with a deep-rooted passion for basketball and combat sports and a fan base that brings tremendous energy to the region’s sports culture,” said Kylie Watson-Wheeler, Head of ESPN, Asia Pacific.
As we continue to expand ESPN’s presence across Asia Pacific, the Philippines plays a key role in that growth. Bringing ESPN to Disney+ allows us to build on that passion, connecting Filipino fans with more of the sports, athletes and stories they love, while strengthening ESPN’s position as a leading sports destination across the region.
For local viewers, the appeal is immediate. Basketball remains deeply woven into Filipino culture, while UFC and other combat sports continue to command a loyal following. Putting both under one streaming roof gives fans a more convenient way to follow major events without leaving the Disney+ app.
NBA Games Take Center Court
Naturally, the NBA is one of the biggest draws.
ESPN on Disney+ will feature marquee matchups during NBA Tip-Off Week, beginning on October 22 with the Minnesota Timberwolves taking on the Miami Heat. The Golden State Warriors will then face the Los Angeles Lakers.
The following day, October 23, the Cleveland Cavaliers are scheduled to meet the Philadelphia 76ers, while the Oklahoma City Thunder go up against the Denver Nuggets.
Across the season, subscribers can also follow live games featuring popular teams such as the Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors, Philadelphia 76ers, and Boston Celtics.
Christmas Day should be another major date on the calendar, with all Christmas Day games set to be available. The schedule includes the San Antonio Spurs versus the New York Knicks, as well as the Los Angeles Lakers against the Philadelphia 76ers.
The postseason will also be represented, with playoff coverage from the First Round through the Conference Semifinals and Conference Finals. The Western Conference Finals will stream live on Disney+, while the Eastern Conference Finals and NBA Finals will be available on demand.
And for fans who want more than the games themselves, ESPN on Disney+ will also carry NBA studio shows and NBA-produced programming such as NBA Tip-Off, Inside the NBA, NBA Countdown, NBA Today, and NBA Action.
UFC Action Joins the Line-Up
For fight fans, the arrival of UFC programming gives the service an equally compelling second pillar.
ESPN and UFC are bringing live numbered events, UFC Fight Nights, classic bouts, curated fight libraries, and behind-the-scenes programming to subscribers in the Philippines.
The action is scheduled to begin with UFC 333 in Abu Dhabi on October 25, featuring two expected world title bouts.
UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski is set to face undefeated No. 1-ranked contender Movsar Evloev, while UFC bantamweight champion Petr Yan is expected to defend his title against former champion and No. 1-ranked contender Merab Dvalishvili.
Beyond the marquee fights, subscribers can watch programs including UFC Countdown, UFC Connected, UFC Main Event, UFC Fight Flashback, UFC Reloaded, and ROAD TO UFC.
The latter is especially relevant to the region, giving top professional MMA prospects from Asia-Pacific a direct pathway toward competing in UFC.
Formula E, March Madness, NBL and More
The sports offering goes well beyond basketball and MMA.
ESPN on Disney+ will also feature the Formula E 2026/27 season, including practice sessions, qualifying, and main races across 21 rounds in 13 host cities.
College sports fans can look forward to NCAA events, including March Madness, while followers of Australia’s National Basketball League will have access to live games across the regular season and championship series.
There is also plenty for viewers who prefer sports storytelling over live competition.
ESPN’s acclaimed 30 for 30 documentaries remain part of the Disney+ line-up, alongside studio shows such as ESPN FCand Pardon the Interruption.
That combination gives the ESPN hub a broader identity. It is not simply a place to watch the final score unfold, but also a destination for analysis, personalities, history, and the stories behind the athletes.
Sports and Entertainment in One App
We’re thrilled ESPN on Disney+ is now streaming for subscribers in the Philippines, bringing live sports, studio shows, documentaries, original programming and more to fans in one dedicated destination,” said Vineet Puri, Vice President and General Manager, Emerging Southeast Asia, The Walt Disney Company.
ESPN on Disney+ gives fans a new home ground for sports entertainment, with adrenaline-pumping action that is the perfect match-up with Disney+ must-stream shows and movies. With our new brand campaign, Ito ang Homecourt Mo!, we are celebrating the passion fans in the Philippines bring to every game, screen and shared conversation — all on one platform together like only Disney+ can do.
That mix is likely to be one of the platform’s biggest selling points.
One night can be reserved for an NBA matchup or UFC card. The next can be spent catching up on a Korean Original, Marvel series, animated favorite, or documentary.
For households with very different viewing habits, that makes Disney+ a more versatile entertainment option.
What’s Next on Disney+
Outside sports, subscribers in the Philippines can also look forward to upcoming Asian original content such as the Korean titles The Remarried Empress and Portraits of Delusion.
Disney+ will continue to offer entertainment from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and Hulu, giving viewers a broad mix of sports, movies, series, factual programming, and originals in one place.
Fans can also follow highlights, updates, and key ESPN moments through Disney+ Philippines’ social media channels throughout the season.
For now, though, the message is simple.
Whether you are tracking every NBA possession, counting down to the next UFC card, following a Formula E race weekend, or settling in for March Madness, ESPN on Disney+ wants to be the screen you turn to first.
Ito ang Homecourt Mo!
Subscribers can access ESPN on Disney+ through the ESPN navigation tab on the new Disney+ app.
After an oversaturation of comic book movies and shows, Spider-Man: Brand New Day reminds us that a truly great superhero story must focus on the human element of it. The spectacle helps, certainly, but deep down, we look for a hero we can relate to, and their issues have to resonate with our own.
Interestingly, Disney+’s latest series, VisionQuest, finds an alternate route to connecting with its audience. Following the events of WandaVision, we find Vision (Paul Bettany) living disguised as a human, struggling to discover who he is. When we last saw White Vision, SWORD had rebuilt him as a weapon to kill Wanda Maximoff, until her version of Vision imbued him with the same persona. He has all of Vision’s memories but none of his emotions or actual experience. He’s a machine trying to understand his purpose. What is he to do with all these memories, and how does he rationalize his existence?
But things go sideways when an unknown client hired The Paladin (Todd Stashwick) to capture Vision. To gain the upper hand, The Paladin makes a god for Thomas Shepherd (Ruaridh Mollica), carrying all of Tommy Maximoff’s memories and persona inside of him. Forced out of hiding, Vision feels compelled to rescue Thomas, a choice that ultimately forces Vision toward an identity forged through action rather than mere observation.
The show presents a fascinating dilemma as it explores what defines humanity. Having formed a bond with the original Vision, the audience instinctively has a connection with the original Vision, and we are immediately hoping that this new iteration of him will find his own identity soon. Watching a “person” piece himself together makes for compelling viewing and it’s quite an enjoyable ride. Do our emotions define us? Our experiences? Our memories? These are asked and are somehow argued throughout the first four episodes of the show and it’s quite enjoyable.
Parallel to Vision’s journey is Thomas’s own crisis of identity as he carries the memories of both Thomas Shepherd and Tommy Maximoff, he is riddled with the need to be anybody else because he isn’t sure who he is. As an orphan turned a con man, with his pickpocket friend Lisa (Lauren Morais), preferring to be anybody else rather than try to figure out if he is crazy or not.
The collision of these two characters surprisingly forms the emotional strength of the series, and the story truly takes off the moment they finally meet.
Rounding out the cast are the AIs Vision has created within his mindscape: copies of code from various AIs used in the MCU mainstays including Jarvis (James D’Arcy), Friday (Orla Brady), Edith (Emily Hampshire), Dum-e and U (Henry Lewis and Jonathan Sayer), and Ultron (James Spader). Each with their own unique personalities, helping Vision along to finding what it means to be human and to reconcile his existence with Wanda’s version of his memories and his own rebuilt body as a weapon. There’s also a lovely supporting turn by Diane Morgan as The Paladin’s tech-genius assistant.
By the third episode, another antagonist emerges: Butcherbird, a mercenary whose own goals run separate from that of Vision’s, but their paths will cross and it expands the questions about technology’s own relationship with humans.
There are just enough superheroics to keep this rooted in the comic book genre with funny quips and puns and enough light-hearted moments to keep it friendly. Yet the story remains firmly centered in the existential, grounded by the relationship between Vision and Thomas, as well as Vision and Ultron. One brings him closer to humanity through the possibility of affection, while the other brings him closer to humanity by embracing chaos. Interestingly enough, it’s these two aspects Vision needs to embrace if he wants to fully understand humanity and it’s fascinating to watch as it unfolds.
These first four episodes deliver a strong start, promising a lot of good storytelling threads that keep the show emotionally strong and intellectually ambitious without becoming overly lofty. Above all, the series retains enough charm and humor to keep it from spiraling out of mainstream appeal.
It is a promising start to a show I’m interested to finish and catch more of it as as the rest of the season unfolds.
My Rating: 4.5 Stars
Be sure to check out the first four episodes of VisionQuest, now streaming on Disney+.
Filipino fight fans now have a new destination for UFC action.
Disney+ is officially the home of UFC in the Philippines, giving local viewers access to live events from one of the biggest mixed martial arts organizations in the world.
Kicking things off is UFC FIGHT NIGHT®: ALLEN vs. DUNCAN, streaming live from the Meta APEX in Las Vegas. The prelims begin at 5:00 AM PHT, followed by the main card at 8:00 AM PHT.
At the center of the event is a high-stakes middleweight clash between Brendan Allen and Christian Leroy Duncan, two fighters entering the Octagon with plenty to prove.
Brendan Allen Looks to Move Closer to UFC Gold
For Brendan Allen, the mission is clear.
The seasoned middleweight contender enters another main event with his eyes firmly fixed on the championship picture. Already battle-tested against some of the division’s toughest competitors, Allen knows that an impressive victory could strengthen his case for a future title opportunity.
His experience, submission skills, and ability to stay composed in demanding situations have made him one of the middleweight division’s most dangerous names.
Now, with another spotlight moment ahead of him, Allen has the chance to remind fans why he remains firmly in the conversation among the division’s top contenders.
Christian Leroy Duncan Steps Into His Biggest UFC Opportunity Yet
Standing across from Allen is Christian Leroy Duncan, a dynamic middleweight taking on his first UFC main event assignment.
It is easily one of the biggest opportunities of his career.
Duncan has built a reputation around his athleticism, creativity, and confident striking. Against Allen, however, he faces a proven contender with significantly more experience at the highest level.
That contrast makes the matchup particularly intriguing.
For Duncan, a victory over Allen would represent a major breakthrough and could immediately raise his profile within the division. For Allen, it is an opportunity to stop the momentum of a hungry challenger while continuing his push toward UFC gold.
With both men chasing something significant, the stakes could hardly be higher.
Matheus Camilo and Jai Herbert Bring the Heat in the Co-Main Event
The action does not stop with the headliner.
In the co-main event, Matheus Camilo takes on Jai Herbert in a lightweight contest that promises intensity from the opening bell.
Camilo has made his intentions perfectly clear with one memorable statement: “I come for violence.”
That aggressive mindset could make for an explosive matchup against Herbert, who is looking to secure back-to-back UFC victories and continue climbing the lightweight ladder.
Herbert brings length, striking experience, and plenty of motivation into the contest. Another victory would give him valuable momentum in one of the UFC’s deepest and most competitive divisions.
Camilo, meanwhile, will be looking to make an unforgettable statement of his own.
Put them together, and the co-main event has all the ingredients for a crowd-pleasing battle.
UFC Action Has a New Home on Disney+
The arrival of UFC on Disney+ gives Filipino fans another major sports offering to watch on the streaming platform.
With live UFC events now available through Disney+ in the Philippines, subscribers can follow marquee matchups, rising contenders, and some of the sport’s biggest moments from one platform.
With Brendan Allen looking to move closer to a title opportunity, Christian Leroy Duncan stepping into his biggest UFC assignment yet, and Matheus Camilo and Jai Herbert preparing for a hard-hitting co-main event, UFC Fight Night: Allen vs. Duncan offers plenty for fight fans to look forward to.
And now, with Disney+ becoming the official home of UFC in the Philippines, Filipino audiences have a new way to experience every punch, kick, takedown, and dramatic finish.
The scalpel-sharp tension of Hyper Knife is getting international recognition.
The Korean medical thriller has been nominated in the TV Movie/Mini-Series category at the 2026 International Emmy® Awards, marking a major international nod for the Disney+ Korea Original.
Premiering in March 2025, Hyper Knife drew audiences into a dangerous world of medical obsession, fractured mentorship, revenge, and morally questionable surgeries. Led by Park Eun-bin and Sul Kyung-gu, the eight-episode series turns the familiar medical drama into something darker and far more unpredictable.
“Hyper Knife” Joins Disney+’s International Emmy® Nominees
Hyper Knife is among several international Disney+ titles recognized at the 2026 International Emmy® Awards.
The United Kingdom series A Thousand Blows is nominated in the Drama Series category, while Mexico’s La Peor Vuelta Al Mundo (The Worst Trip Around The World) received a nomination for Non-Scripted Entertainment.
For Hyper Knife, the TV Movie/Mini-Series nomination puts the spotlight on a Korean thriller that pairs the precision of neurosurgery with an increasingly dangerous battle between two gifted doctors.
A Brilliant Surgeon With Everything to Lose
At the center of Hyper Knife is Jeong Seok, a visionary neurosurgeon with exceptional surgical skills and an intense obsession with becoming even better at her craft.
Her promising career takes a devastating turn when she uncovers a shocking truth and clashes with her mentor, Choi Deokhe. Soon, Seok finds herself cast out of the medical profession and stripped of her license.
But losing her credentials does not stop her from operating.
Determined to continue the work that consumes her, Seok enters the shadows of the medical world, secretly performing illegal surgeries for people who have nowhere else to turn.
Then, the man connected to the destruction of her career comes back into her life.
Her former mentor needs her help.
Suddenly, Seok is faced with an irresistible opportunity: attempt an operation few surgeons could hope to perform or seize the chance to settle the score with the man who took away the future she had worked for.
That volatile reunion becomes the beating heart of Hyper Knife, where every decision can carry consequences far beyond the operating room.
Park Eunbin and Sul Kyunggu Face Off
Bringing Jeong Seok to life is Park Eun-bin, whose acclaimed credits include ExtraordinaryAttorney Woo and The King’s Affection.
She stars opposite veteran actor Sul Kyung-gu, known for films including Memoir of a Murderer and Oasis. He plays Choi Deokhe, Seok’s former mentor and a formidable neurosurgeon in his own right.
Rather than relying solely on life-or-death medical emergencies, Hyper Knife builds much of its suspense around the complicated relationship between Seok and Deokhe. Their shared brilliance is accompanied by resentment, ambition, betrayal, and a history neither can easily leave behind.
As their paths collide once again, the question is not simply whether they can pull off the impossible. It is whether either of them can trust the other long enough to do it.
The Creative Team Behind “Hyper Knife”
Behind the intense medical thriller is writer Kim Sunhee, whose previous work includes Quiz From God: Reboot.
The series is directed by Kim Junghyun, known for After the Rain and My Fellow Citizens!
Together, the creative team combines intricate medical scenarios with psychological tension, turning Seok and Deokhe’s complicated relationship into a high-stakes story about talent, obsession, revenge, and the price of pursuing greatness.
Now, with its 2026 International Emmy® Awards nomination, Hyper Knife has another reason for viewers to put the Korean thriller on their watchlist.
With just over a month to go before the highly awaited Korean series arrives on Disney+, its latest official trailer has already amassed more than 13 million views across YouTube and social media platforms within its first 48 hours.
To celebrate the impressive milestone, Disney+ Philippines is giving fans an even closer look at the Eastern Empire with an all-new special look featurette premiering exclusively on the streaming platform later today.
A Closer Look at the Stars and Story
Set to premiere on Disney+ at 3:00 PM Philippine Time, the featurette includes never-before-seen footage and fresh interviews with stars Shin Min-a, Ju Ji-hoon, Lee Jong-suk, and Lee Se-young.
The cast opens up about what first attracted them to The Remarried Empress and how they approached bringing the webtoon’s widely known characters to life on screen.
Behind the scenes, series director Cho Suwon, screenwriter Yeoh Geena, and members of the production team also offer viewers a fascinating glimpse at the series’ elaborate sets and costumes.
Among the production’s biggest challenges was finding locations that could capture the grandeur of the beloved source material. According to the team, 16 real-world castles across France, Germany, and the Czech Republic were scouted in search of a setting that could convincingly reflect the majesty of the original webtoon.
A Disney+ First for a Korean Original
The featurette also marks a notable milestone for Disney+.
Its release will be the first time a Korean Original has premiered a special look exclusively on the platform, highlighting the strong interest surrounding The Remarried Empress ahead of its November 4 debut.
And that excitement comes with good reason.
Based on the hit NAVER WEBTOON of the same name, which has accumulated close to three billion views to date, The Remarried Empress brings its sweeping tale of romance, betrayal, ambition, and power to live action.
Love, Power, and a Royal Marriage in Crisis
At the heart of the story is Empress Navier, a beloved ruler whose marriage to Emperor Sovieshu of the Eastern Empire begins to unravel.
As tensions rise throughout the kingdom, Sovieshu falls in love with a runaway slave and becomes determined to win her heart. Refusing to sacrifice her dignity, Navier agrees to the emperor’s request under one extraordinary condition: she must be allowed to remarry Heinrey, the rival Crown Prince of the Western Kingdom.
What follows is a dramatic story of love, desire, regret, and political intrigue, with the fate of an empire hanging in the balance as Navier fights to reclaim her power.
When Does The Remarried Empress Premiere?
The Remarried Empress premieres November 4 exclusively on Disney+ Philippines with its first four episodes.

Love Takes Different Forms in Season 8
Romantic relationships may grab attention, but The Kardashians Season 8 is also putting the spotlight on love in a wider sense.
That includes family bonds, self-love, personal growth, and the freedom to redefine what happiness looks like.
As Kris, Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, Kendall, and Kylie move through different stages of their lives, the season will examine how each of them responds to change while remaining closely connected as a family.
The result looks to be a mix of familiar Kardashian-Jenner glamour and more introspective moments as they embrace a fresh chapter.
The Kardashian-Jenners Continue to Evolve
Over the years, viewers have watched the family expand businesses, build brands, raise families, and navigate some of their most personal experiences in front of the camera.
Season 8 continues that story while placing greater emphasis on reinvention.
Kim, Khloé, Kourtney, Kendall, Kylie, and Kris are each entering different phases of their careers and personal lives, giving the new season plenty of room to explore shifting priorities and changing relationships.
And while the family has never been short on major moments, the latest trailer suggests that some of the season’s most compelling scenes may come from quieter realizations about identity, independence, and connection.
Who Stars in The Kardashians Season 8?
The Kardashians stars Kris Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian Barker, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, and Kylie Jenner.
Behind the scenes, Fulwell Entertainment partner Ben Winston serves as executive producer alongside Danielle King, Emma Conway, Elizabeth Jones, and Erin Foye.

Before the Avengers return to the big screen, Marvel is taking fans back to where the story began.
The “Countdown to Avengers: Doomsday Official Podcast” is now streaming on Disney+ Philippines, revisiting five pivotal films from Marvel Studios’ The Infinity Saga as anticipation builds for “Avengers: Doomsday,” which arrives in Philippine theaters on December 16, 2026.
The first three episodes are already available, covering “The Avengers,” “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” and “Captain America: Civil War.”
For longtime MCU fans, it is a chance to relive the moments that defined Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. For everyone else, it works as a timely refresher before Marvel’s next massive crossover event.
Iman Vellani and Frank Alvarez Lead the Rewatch
The podcast is hosted by Iman Vellani, who stars as Kamala Khan in Marvel Studios’ “Ms. Marvel,” and Frank Alvarez of “The Basement Yard.”
Across the five-episode series, the pair revisit some of the MCU’s most important chapters, from the Avengers’ first team-up to the universe-altering events of “Infinity War” and “Endgame.”
Each episode combines a recap with a deeper conversation about key scenes, character arcs, relationships, and turning points that shaped the team.
Of course, the road does not stop at nostalgia.
Vellani and Alvarez also look ahead to “Avengers: Doomsday,” sharing thoughts on the characters, themes, and story possibilities that could play a role when Marvel’s heroes reunite.
All five movies are also available to stream on Disney+ as part of the “Marvel Studios’ The Infinity Saga” Collection.
The final podcast episode will arrive in the same week as the theatrical re-release of “Avengers Endgame: Encore,”giving fans another way to revisit one of the MCU’s biggest films before the next Avengers chapter begins.
From the Battle of New York to the Endgame
The five selected films trace some of the most important developments in Avengers history.
“The Avengers” brought the original team together. “Age of Ultron” tested their unity and introduced new players. “Civil War” fractured the heroes from within. Then, “Infinity War” and “Endgame” pushed the MCU into its most devastating conflict yet.
Seen together, the films form a clear path through the team’s victories, failures, sacrifices, and shifting alliances.
That context makes the podcast more than a simple watch-along. It also serves as a reminder of just how much history the Avengers carry with them heading into “Doomsday.”
‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Brings Together a Huge Marvel Cast
In “Avengers: Doomsday,” heroes from three distinct universes are set on a deadly collision course as they face an existential threat unlike anything they have encountered before.
With that kind of scale on the horizon, Marvel’s new podcast offers fans a fitting way to retrace the Avengers’ journey before the next chapter changes everything again.
The streaming platform has announced “Max vs 100,” a one-of-a-kind live motorsport event created with Red Bull, featuring four-time Formula 1® World Champion Max Verstappen in a massive karting challenge at Silverstone.
Streaming live on Disney+ Philippines at 12:00 AM on September 17, the event will put Verstappen at the back of a 101-kart grid with a simple but formidable mission: overtake every driver ahead of him.
Max Verstappen Takes on a Massive Karting Grid
Set at Silverstone, one of motorsport’s most famous circuits, “Max vs 100” brings together 101 karts for one of the biggest kart races of its kind.
Verstappen will have to work his way through a field filled with athletes, streamers, gaming personalities, social media creators, media figures, fans, and surprise guests from around the world.
Rather than following a traditional racing format, the event blends elite motorsport with entertainment and technology, creating a challenge where the advantage is firmly with the pack.
The question at the heart of it all is simple: Can 100 drivers stop Max Verstappen?
A Return to Where It All Started
For Verstappen, the race also marks a return to the discipline that helped shape his career.
Before Formula 1® titles, record-breaking performances, and international fame, Verstappen spent years honing his skills in karting. It was there that he learned the fundamentals of racing, from race starts and defensive driving to overtaking and managing grip.
In go-karts you learn all the basics: starts, defending, overtaking, Verstappen said.
Of course, I spent a long period of my life go-karting, so it’s always nice to return. It’s about understanding the grip of the go-kart. I’ve done so many years in go-karting that you quite naturally get back into things.
The setup of “Max vs 100” also mirrors a challenge familiar from his early racing days: starting from behind and fighting through the field.
This time, however, the scale is dramatically bigger.
Who Will Race Against Max Verstappen?
The 100 drivers standing between Verstappen and the front of the grid will come from different areas of sports, gaming, entertainment, and online culture.
Among the Red Bull athletes joining the race are ultrarunner Arda Saatçi, basketball shooting specialist Chris “Lethal Shooter” Matthews, and freestyle mountain biker Matt Jones.
Also joining the grid are Red Bull streamers TheGrefg, Caedrel, and TheDonato, along with content creators, personalities, and fans invited from different parts of the world.
With such a varied field, the race promises plenty of unpredictable moments as competitors attempt to stay ahead of one of motorsport’s most accomplished drivers.
Mo Gilligan Leads the Live Coverage
Triple BAFTA-winning British comedian Mo Gilligan will front the live broadcast as part of a wider presenting team.
Gilligan will bring his trademark humor and energy to the event while the broadcast team delivers race commentary, analysis, and updates throughout the challenge.
I’m absolutely thrilled to be teaming up with Disney on this hugely ambitious project. Gilligan said.
Max Verstappen, 100 drivers and one massive race – this show is going to be truly spectacular. It’s fast, unpredictable and, above all, a lot of fun. Somehow, I’ve got the best seat in the house, and I can’t wait to take everyone watching on Disney+ along for the ride.
Silverstone Gets a Special Karting Setup
To accommodate the unusually large field, the circuit has been specially designed for the event by David Terrien, the race director, French racing driver, renowned kart designer, and youth karting world champion.
The layout has been built to allow all 101 karts to compete at the same time, creating a racing environment specifically suited to the ambitious concept.
Beyond the action on track, “Max vs 100” will also experiment with how viewers experience motorsport at home.
The broadcast will feature game-inspired graphics, cinematic drone footage, live race data, and on-screen insightsdesigned to help audiences follow Verstappen’s progress through the field.
Adding another layer of unpredictability, Verstappen will also be able to communicate directly with his competitors during the race.
That feature could give viewers a rare look at the conversations, reactions, and split-second decisions taking place while the competition unfolds.
Disney+ Expands Its Live Sports Entertainment Offering
Sean Doyle, Vice President, Unscripted, Disney+ EMEA, said the idea immediately stood out because of its unusual premise.
The moment we heard the idea for ‘Max vs 100’, we knew it was something really special, Doyle said.
Taking one of the greatest racing drivers in the world and asking him to overtake 100 drivers is the kind of challenge you can’t help but want to see play out.
He added that the collaboration with Red Bull reflects Disney+’s continuing push into live and sports entertainment.
Working with Red Bull, we’ve created a live event that’s ambitious, entertaining and genuinely unpredictable. It’s another exciting step as we continue to expand our live and sports entertainment offering on Disney+, and we can’t wait to bring the excitement of live motorsport to a new generation of fans.”
When to Watch “Max vs 100”
“Max vs 100” streams live on Disney+ Philippines at 12:00 AM on September 17.
The event is a Red Bull Media House production commissioned by Angela Jain, Head of Content, Disney+ EMEA, and Sean Doyle, Vice President, Unscripted, Disney+ EMEA.
Executive producers include Antonia Howard-Taylor for Disney+ EMEA, Ignacio Leon for Red Bull, Kutlu Baklacioglu, Red Bull Head of Motorsports Network, and Simon Corney, Executive Producer at Whisper.
Produced by Whisper, the award-winning global production company behind major sports and entertainment programming, the live event is set to combine competitive racing with a fresh, playful format.
With Max Verstappen chasing down 100 drivers at Silverstone, “Max vs 100” is shaping up to be one of Disney+’s most ambitious live motorsport spectacles yet.
