Monsters Funday Football Extends Into SC+

Animated "Monsters, Inc." highlights will be included once a week for the remainder of the season on the Disney+ exclusive show.

The imaginative fun of Monsters Funday Football is set to extend beyond the initial alt-cast on December 8th and into subsequent editions of SC+.

What's Happening:

ESPN, Disney, Pixar, and the NFL will bring your favorite Monsters, Inc. characters to the field for Monsters Funday Football on Monday, December 8th, 2025.
Mike Wazowski and Sulley will join Jalen Hurts and the Eagles and Justin Herbert and the Chargers on the Cheer Floor, a football-ready version of Monsters, Inc.’s Scare Floor. While mostly letting the pros handle the plays, they’ll step in for key moments, competing for Cheer Canisters instead of screams, with the game crowning both a winner and a Cheer Champion.
But the fun won't stop there, as SC+ on Disney+ will keep the Monsters Funday Football theme alive through the reminder of the season with animated, Monsters, Inc.-inspired highlights once a week.
Starting in Week 15 and continuing through the Divisional Round, each “monsterfied” highlight will feature top plays from that week’s Monday Night Football or ‘NFL on ESPN’ game.
SC+ streams daily at 9 a.m. exclusively on Disney+.
