Disney Plus will begin exclusively airing a bite-sized version of ESPN’s SportsCenter, the company announced on Thursday. The show, called SC Plus, will feature a “fast-paced” update with the day’s most important moments in sports. It debuts on March 3rd.
SC Plus will be based on SportsCenter’s top 10 format, offering a quick rundown of notable plays and other highlights. SportsCenter’s Gary Striewski and Randy Scott will host the show weekdays at 9AM ET, while Hannah Storm and Jay Harris will take over on weekends. Each episode will run for around 15 minutes, according to Variety, and will be aimed at more casual sports fans.
The move continues to blur the line between Disney Plus and ESPN Plus, as Disney already added an ESPN tile to Disney Plus in December 2024. The new SC Plus show could also give viewers a taste of what to expect from the more expansive ESPN streaming service coming later this year, which will include live content from the network’s linear channels, along with additional features like betting.
