Disney is doubling down on women’s sports. The media giant has reached a three-year agreement with the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) to broadcast the Copa de la Reina across the United States and Latin America through 2028.

Key Highlights of the Deal:

  • Coverage: Includes the U.S., Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia.
  • Platforms: Matches will stream on Disney+ and ESPN+, with select games on ESPN’s linear channels.
  • Duration: The contract runs until 2028 and includes the Spanish Women’s Super Cup for the 2027 and 2028 seasons.
  • Kick-off: Coverage begins this week with the Quarter-finals, featuring high-stakes matchups like the Clásico (Real Madrid vs. FC Barcelona).

This partnership follows Disney’s recent acquisition of the UEFA Women’s Champions League rights in Europe, cementing the company as a primary destination for women’s football globally. For the RFEF, this deal is a cornerstone of their international expansion strategy, tapping into markets with rapidly growing fanbases for the women’s game.
