ESPN’s ‘Vibe Check’: Three Key Details About the New Disney+ Exclusive

ESPN is doubling down on Disney+ original content with a new all-female sports studio show that promises to shake up traditional sports coverage when it premieres on Monday, June 30.

1. Showcasing Incredible Female Talent 

The show will feature many voices from ESPN’s deep bench of female on-air personalities, including Andraya Carter, Elle Duncan, Monica McNutt, Chiney Ogwumike and Hannah Storm. It’s a testament to the incredible female talent pool of ESPN’s studio programming.

2. The Format Breaks From Traditional Sports Studio Shows

Vibe Check promises “fast-paced coverage with expert analysis, all-access moments, unapologetic opinions and a healthy dose of laughter.” New episodes drop three times weekly (Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 5 p.m. ET), targeting audiences looking for fresh perspectives and authentic sports conversation rather than traditional highlight packages.

3. Disney+ Is Becoming ESPN’s Premium Content Hub

This marks ESPN’s second Disney+ exclusive after SC+ launched in March, signaling a strategic shift toward creating premium content for Disney’s streaming platform. Disney+ subscribers get access to curated ESPN+ and live sports content, while bundle subscribers can access the full ESPN+ library of 30,000+ annual live events.
