The League of Legends KeSPA cup will air globally on Disney+
Disney+ has secured global streaming rights for several esports tournaments organized by the Korea Esports Association, including the League of Legends KeSPA Cup and events leading up to the 2026 Asian Games. This deal expands upon last year's agreement, which was limited to Asian viewers, and will feature games like Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, and PUBG Mobile. The move raises concerns about the fragmentation of esports viewership, potentially requiring subscriptions to platforms like Disney+ instead of free viewing on Twitch or YouTube.
