Disney announces a real-time animated Star Wars presentation for February 14, 2027.

Super Bowl LXI is heading into the Star Wars galaxy through an animated alternate broadcast. In an October 20 announcement, ESPN, Lucasfilm, Disney and the NFL confirmed Star Wars Funday Football for February 14, 2027. The presentation will translate the live game into real-time animation and bring franchise characters

into the action. Anthony Daniels will return as the voice of C-3PO. Disney+ and the ESPN App will stream the broadcast, with Disney Channel and Disney XD carrying it on television alongside the traditional Super Bowl presentation. Disney also describes expanded international availability, naming markets including

Australia, New Zealand, Japan and the Netherlands. The release does not list the UK, so British viewers should await specific local carriage information. Image credit: ESPN / Lucasfilm / Disney.
