Disney+: 7 Best Sports Movies Currently Streaming

Disney+ has arrived and it has been a huge hit with fans. Last week, it was reported that there have been 10 million people to subscribe to the new streaming service and it continues to grow each day. That means there will be a lot of people watching their favorite Disney and Fox films for a long time. And for all the sports fans out there, you won’t be disappointed with the quality of movies. So does that mean Disney+ will allow password sharing?

“Password sharing is definitely something we think about,” said Michael Paull, president of Disney Streaming Services, during a Disney+ media preview last week, The Verge reports. He added that Disney is hopeful that customers will recognize just how much they’re getting for the $6.99 monthly subscription fee and will use the service within reason.

“We believe that consumers will see that value, and they’re going to act accordingly,” he said. “They’re going to use those accounts for their family, for their household. That being said, we do recognize password sharing exists and will continue to exist.”

We’ll see what happens, but until then, here are the seven best sports films currently streaming on Disney+.
