Disney said the “fast-paced update will highlight each day’s top sports moments, stories, insights, and exclusive commentary in a more concise and streamlined format.” Built around the “SC Top 10” daily countdown of sports moments, “SC+” will focus on the most important stories of the day with insights from ESPN insiders and reporters.
Gary Striewski and Randy Scott will host “SC+” on weekdays. Hannah Storm and Jay Harris will host on weekends.
“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+,” said Mike Foss, Senior Vice President, Studio & Entertainment. “’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.”
The “SportsCenter” brand debuted with the launch of ESPN on September 7, 1979.
“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,” said Alisa Bowen, President of Disney+.
“SC+” will stream live at 9 a.m. ET on weekdays. It will be available on demand to U.S. Disney+ subscribers for 24 hours. Striewski and Scott will continue to host the 7 a.m. ET “SportsCenter” on ESPN in addition to “SC+.” On weekends, Storm and Harris will host “SC+” after “SportsCenter:AM” on ESPN.
“SC+” joins select ESPN content available to Disney+ standalone subscribers. Those who subscribe to both Disney+ and ESPN+ can access the full ESPN+ content library through Disney+.
