For sports fans, some weeks are simply packed with matchups worth having on the radar. This November 8, ESPN on Disney+ offers three major sports events super fans shouldn’t miss—from an NBA battle between two exciting young teams to a UFC main event with major welterweight implications, and an NFL game taking the action to Madrid.
Here are three super sports events to catch on your homecourt, ESPN on Disney+, all in one day:
1. Denver Nuggets vs. Indiana Pacers: Jokic Meets Haliburton
Two of the NBA’s most exciting teams go head-to-head, with Nikola Jokić and Tyrese Haliburton providing plenty of star power.
Jokić remains one of the league’s most dominant all-around players, while Haliburton has emerged as one of the NBA’s most entertaining playmakers. Their contrasting styles make this a matchup worth watching—and one that is likely to generate plenty of highlights and social media conversation.
For fans who have been following the recent buzz around Haliburton, even the viral “What the Helly” trend has added another layer of personality to his growing profile.
Why watch: Jokić vs. Haliburton, two exciting teams, and plenty of potential highlight-reel moments
2. Waldo Cortes Acosta vs. Johnny Walker: A Heavyweight Main Event
UFC events don’t come around every week, making each fight card an opportunity to catch some of the sport’s biggest matchups as they unfold.
This week’s main event is especially worth watching, with Waldo Cortes Acosta taking on Johnny Walker in a five-round heavyweight showdown. Cortes Acosta steps into the action with his high-volume and relentless striking style, while Walker comes with his towering frame and a record of 18 TKO victories out of his 23 professional wins.
With both fighters looking to move closer to the top of the division, a strong performance could have major implications for the heavyweight title picture.
Why watch: Two dangerous heavyweights, a five-round main event, and a high potential for a spectacular knockout.
3. Cincinnati Bengals vs. Atlanta Falcons: The NFL Goes to Madrid
This isn’t your typical NFL Sunday.
The Bengals and Falcons will face off at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, bringing regular-season NFL action to Spain as part of the league’s record international slate. It will be the Bengals’ first game in Spain and only their third international game.
Beyond the matchup itself, the Madrid setting makes this one of the week’s most unique sporting events. The NFL is using international games to grow its global audience, and this game gives Filipino fans a chance to see American football played on one of the world’s most recognizable sporting stages.
Why watch: An NFL matchup in Madrid, a historic stadium, and the league taking American football beyond U.S. soil.
