The event, titled Toy Story Funday Football, will stream on Disney+, ESPN+ and NFL+ (mobile only) on October 1 at 9:30 a.m. ET. It will air the same time as the real NFL International Series game, which takes place at Wembley Stadium in London.
Toy Story Funday Football will replicate on-the-field gameplay with animated Falcon and Jaguar players who dont have faces, for some reason running around on a traditional-looking field in Andys room. Viewers can watch every run, pass and score in real time through state-of-the-art tracking technology, wrote ESPN in a press release, enabled by the NFLs Next Gen Stats player tracking data and AI-based visualization company Beyond Sports.
