Dude Perfect announced a wide-ranging partnership with Disney on Wednesday that spans YouTube, Disney+, ESPN, and in-person events.

Under the deal, the Frisco-based group will make videos inspired by Disney franchises and calendar events. Disney will put selected short-form pieces on Disney+, ESPN, and its own social channels.

Dude Perfect will also show up at Super Bowl LXI on ABC and ESPN, the 50th anniversary of Star Wars, and the release of the Marvel film Avengers: Doomsday.

The arrangement follows Disney pacts with other large YouTube brands, including a development deal that sends Dhar Mann originals to Disney+.

In 2025 Dude Perfect tried to hit all 12 Disney theme parks in 75 hours. That stunt passed 13 million views on YouTube.

Co-founder Garrett Hilbert said in a statement that Disney shaped how the group thinks about going big, and that the team would bring fans along for new projects.
