In what’s one of the most fascinating crossovers in recent memory, ESPN is bringing the NFL to the world of Toy Story for a live broadcast next month.
During the Atlanta Falcons and Jacksonville Jaguars game in London on Oct. 1, ESPN will bring an alternate streaming broadcast to the table that will reportedly be animated in real time from “Andy’s room.”
That’s right, the central location of some of the Toy Story movies will be fielding an NFL game played by toys.
Similar to the animated hockey game that ESPN featured this past NHL season with the Disney show Big City Greens, the Falcons/Jaguars game will be brought to live in Pixar style and in the Toy Story universe.
It’s unquestionably the first NFL game in history to utilize this very specific alternate broadcast style using animation and Pixar characters.

The Toy Story Funday Football game will broadcast on both Disney+ and ESPN+. We can’t guarantee how this will go, but we can confirm Sid will likely be ejected by halftime.
