Despite having a team that's regarded as one of the best in Brazilian sports broadcasting and important broadcasting rights for international competitions like
La Liga,
Premier League and the
Bundesliga, major local series rights have historically not been present; the
Campeonato Brasileiro,
Copa do Brasil and the states' championships are held by local
Grupo Globo and
SporTV. ESPN, however, has purchased the rights to broadcast the 2009, 2010 and 2011 editions of the

Brasil made a partnership with
Rádio Eldorado to broadcast sports on radio. The new Rádio Eldorado ESPN used Eldorado's radio assets and the team of commentators from ESPN Brasil. It was renamed Rádio Estadão ESPN in 2007 due to a partnership agreement with the
O Estado de S. Paulo newspaper.
[Estadão, Quem Somos](_blank)
In 2005 the company incorporated ESPN International coverage, starting to broadcast in two channels. Before this date, programs such as the SportsCenter International Edition, MLB and the NFL were transmitted directly from
Bristol, Connecticut, with Portuguese audio from Andre Adler, Marco Alfaro, Sergio Cesario, Roby Porto, José Inácio Werneck, and Roberto Figueroa. Since 2005, shows and games are recorded and broadcast from its studios in São Paulo, though morning schedules continue to include USA and Latin American programs.
Prior to May 2011, programs produced by ESPN Brasil generally did not use in-game score graphics, though international programs had them. Beginning that month, ESPN Brasil began using the same score and other graphics used by the US channel.
In March 2012, the ESPN'S network in Brazil started with the broadcast 100% in HD with sports events and original programs. This is the same practice of ESPN in USA. The four channels of ESPN in Brazil is broadcast fully in HD.
In October 2013, ESPN launched a second screen app, ESPN Sync, to connect to broadcasts of football matches.
On May 6, 2020 Brazil's antitrust regulator CADE announced that ESPN and Fox Sports could merge their operations in Brazil together as of January 1, 2022 and not before, due to Fox Sports' broadcast rights and structure in the country, with ESPN taking over broadcast rights and structure after the merger.
In November 2021, it was announced that Disney would retire the ESPN Brasil brand after 26 years on air. ESPN Brasil would become ESPN, while the current ESPN would become ESPN 2, while the current ESPN 2 would become ESPN 3, and Fox Sports will become ESPN 4. Fox Sports 2 and ESPN Extra would not change their names. The change happened on January 17, 2022.
