Disney’s ESPN has announced more details on a brand new daily “SportsCenter” show called “SC+.” This show will highlight each day’s top sports moments, stories, insights, and exclusive commentary in a more concise and streamlined format.

“SC+” will be built around the highly popular “SC Top 10” daily countdown of sports moments. The program will deliver the most important sports news stories of the day, complemented by insights from ESPN’s top insiders and reporters.

This new series is the latest extension of the iconic multiplatform SportsCenter brand that debuted with ESPN’s original network launch on September 7, 1979, and has been trusted by sports fans for over 45 years.

Mike Foss, Senior Vice President, Studio & Entertainment, added:

“It’s an absolute honor to take one of ESPN’s most-prestigious and historic brands in SportsCenter and infuse it with the energy and creativity afforded by Disney+. SC+ endeavors to tell the best stories in sports daily in an unforgettable way. This fresh approach, combined with the expansive reach of Disney+, will resonate whether you are an ardent sports fan or looking for something new after your latest series binge.”

Alisa Bowen, President of Disney+, added:

“ESPN has long defined excellence in sports programming, and now Disney+ subscribers will have daily access to the most exciting sports news, moments, and stories,”

With the addition of this daily show, Disney+ standalone subscribers will continue to have access to a curated selection of content from ESPN+ and Hulu, including live sports events, studio shows, ESPN Originals, TV series and films – all in one place. Subscribers to the Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ bundle can view the full ESPN+ content offering, which includes more than 30,000 live sports events yearly, a library of on-demand replays, acclaimed original content, and studio programming.

The new show will launch on Disney+ in the United States on March 3rd 2025.  The show will be streamed live weekday mornings at 9 a.m. ET with each day’s edition available on demand on Disney+ for 24 hours. Gary Striewski and Randy Scott will host the weekday editions of SC+ and also continue to anchor the 7 a.m. ET “SportsCenter” on ESPN. On weekends, Hannah Storm and Jay Harris will host “SC+” following their “SportsCenter:AM” program on ESPN, delivering a fresh and engaging look at the day’s top sports moments.

Roger’s Take: This new show should be a nice addition to ESPN’s sports programming and act as a middle ground for sports fans who want the highlights of the news but don’t want to spend hours catching up.  It’s a little disappointing that this show will only be available on Disney+ for 24 hours; while it makes sense that news isn’t kept around too long, you would have thought a week or so would have been some middle ground.  It’s also disappointing that this show isn’t available on Disney+ internationally, but currently, the ESPN hub is only available on Disney+ in the United States and Latin America, though it is coming to Australia and New Zealand later this year.  

Will you be checking out “SC+” on Disney+?  Let me know on social media!
