Disney+ is deepening its push into live esports. The streamer said Thursday that it has expanded an existing partnership with the Korea eSports Association (KeSPA) to livestream a wider slate of major Korean and pan-Asian esports competitions for its global subscribers.
The expanded deal begins April 24-26 with the Esports Championships Asia Jinju 2026, a three-day tournament in Jinju, South Korea, that pits national teams from South Korea, China, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines and Mongolia against one another across a slate of fighting and simulation titles, including Street Fighter 6, The King of Fighters XV, Tekken 8, Konami’s eFootball series, PUBG Mobile and Eternal Return. Disney+ will carry the competition live worldwide, with onscreen branding from ESPN running across the broadcast.
