When is NFL Toy Story Funday Football? Live stream Falcons-Jaguars, how to watch online, TV, time
The NFL is combining forces with Disney to bring a one-of-a-kind viewing experience on Sunday, Oct. 1, when Toy Story Funday Football features the Atlanta Falcons and Jacksonville Jaguars in a completely animated format. The game will be live streamed on ESPN+ and on Disney+.
The viewing option will show the game in Pixar’s iconic “Toy Story” World.
Toy Story Funday Football will simultaneously animate, enabled by the NFL’s Next Gen Stats player tracking data, the Falcons-Jaguars gameplay within Wembley Stadium in London in Andy’s room, one of “Toy Story’s” most recognizable settings.
The alternate presentation designed for family viewing will incorporate the movie’s iconic characters including a special halftime show featuring Duke Caboom’s motorcycle jump, be narrated by its own announcers – Drew Carter, Booger McFarland and 12-year old Pepper Persley, feature educational elements teaching the game of football, and more.
Andy’s room will replicate the on-the-field gameplay from Wembley Stadium, where each Falcon and Jaguar player will have animated representation on a traditional looking field, catered to the “Toy Story” setting. Fans will view every run, pass, score and all football-related action through state-of-the-art tracking technology enabled by the NFL’s Next Gen Stats player tracking data and Beyond Sports.
In addition to the gameplay, all the surrounding aspects of the game – announcers, graphics, scoreboard, penalty announcements, celebrations, and more – will all embrace the “Toy Story”-themed offering in their packaging and delivery, all occurring in Andy’s room.
Woody, Buzz Lightyear and many of the characters from the acclaimed animated series will be visible throughout, participating from the sidelines and in other non-gameplay elements.
When is Falcons-Jaguars?
The Falcons play the Jaguars at 8:30 a.m. (9:30 a.m. ET) Sunday, Oct. 1.
