Disney, Champion, the NFL, and Fanatics are bringing Disney characters into the mix for every team in the league. All 32 NFL franchises get their own matchup, pulling from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars. Some are based on colors, some on mascots, and a few are really just about whether the character feels right for the team.
The collection was introduced at Fanatics Fest NYC through the Disney Fan Draft, where former NFL players revealed the first batch of pairings. The rest have now been filled in. Each team gets five T-shirts and four sweatshirt styles, with crewnecks, hoodies, and zip-ups included.
Some of the choices are pretty obvious once you see them. The Raiders get Darth Vader, which is about as natural a black-and-silver pairing as you can make. Green Bay is matched with Chewbacca, while Tampa Bay gets Captain Hook. A pirate for the Buccaneers was probably never going to need much explaining.
Some of the other choices are a little less direct. Doctor Doom represents Philadelphia, with his green and silver look fitting the Eagles better than the character choice might suggest at first. Arizona gets Jafar and Iago, and Denver is paired with Maximus from Tangled.
Atlanta gets one of the simplest Star Wars references in the collection. The Falcons are matched with the Millennium Falcon, giving the team a name-based crossover that does not need much explaining.
The timing also lines up with Disney and ESPN’s broader NFL plans. Super Bowl LXI is set for February 2027, and ESPN is scheduled to broadcast the game for the first time.
The Disney x Champion NFL Collection released in August 2026 and is available now through NFL Shop, Fanatics, Disney Store, and select retailers nationwide.
