This time, we’re NOT talking about new merchandise or a new attraction coming to Toy Story Land. No, we’re talking about…Toy Story football? Let us explain — there’s a LOT to go through!

ESPN has just announced that Toy Story Funday Football is coming October 1st at 9:30AM EST. This is a fully-animated, real-time alternate presentation of the Falcons and Jaguars NFL game from INSIDE the Toy Story universe. Yes, we said REAL. TIME.

Andy’s room will replicate the real-time gameplay from Wembley Stadium (where the real game is being played). Each player on both teams will have their own animated representation of themselves on the field and contribute to the event with “pre-recorded segments and interviews.” It will stream on Disney+, ESPN+, and NFL+.

This is the “latest in ESPN’s innovation strategy, providing alternate telecasts in signature events.” Woody, Buzz, Bo Peep, Bullseye, Bunny, Ducky, Forky, Green Aliens, Jesse, Rex, and Slinky Dog will all be present (on the sidelines), and Duke Caboom will attempt a motorcycle jump for the halftime show.

Demonstrations like “how-to” videos will also be available on the livestream to help teach the audience about football as they watch. We look forward to seeing how this plays out (no pun intended), and we’ll keep you updated here on AllEars, so stay tuned!
