Football season is about to get a whole lot more magical! Disney, the NFL, Champion, and Fanatics have officially completed the draft for the Disney x Champion NFL Collection, revealing character pairings for all 32 NFL teams.
The first-of-its-kind collection brings together the worlds of Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars with NFL fandom. Each team has been matched with a character, or sometimes a duo, chosen to represent its identity, history, hometown, or fan culture. Better yet, the full collection is available beginning today, so football fans can officially rep their favorite team with a little extra Disney magic.
The collection includes tees, crewnecks, and fleece styles featuring the newly revealed designs. Since there are 32 pairings to explore, let’s break down the complete Disney x Champion NFL draft!
AFC East
Buffalo Bills – Beast
It is hard to argue with Beast representing Buffalo! The pairing plays off his raw strength and intensity, while his fiercely loyal side feels equally appropriate for Bills Mafia.
Miami Dolphins – King Triton
Who better to represent Miami than the ruler of the seas? King Triton brings strength, a commanding presence, and plenty of ocean-inspired style to the Dolphins.
New England Patriots – Captain America
Marvel’s Captain America joins the Patriots for a pairing centered around heritage, leadership, heroism, and, of course, some very patriotic imagery.
New York Jets – Buzz Lightyear
To infinity and beyond! Buzz Lightyear’s speed, flight, and confidence connect perfectly with the Jets and the team’s aviation-inspired identity.
AFC North
Baltimore Ravens – Maleficent and Diaval
This may be one of the most visually perfect matches in the collection. Maleficent and her raven companion Diaval bring plenty of mystery and intimidation while fitting seamlessly into Baltimore’s signature purple-and-black color palette.
Cincinnati Bengals – Shere Khan
Stripes meet stripes! The Jungle Book’s Shere Khan brings swagger and apex-predator energy to Cincinnati.
Cleveland Browns – Pluto
Pluto is loyal, lovable, and not afraid of a little tussle when necessary. That makes Mickey’s best pal a fun match for Cleveland and the legendary Dawg Pound.
Pittsburgh Steelers – Pete
Disney’s Pete brings a tough, blue-collar personality to the Steelers. His unapologetically physical attitude fits right in with Pittsburgh’s longstanding smash-mouth football identity.
AFC South
Houston Texans – Jessie
Yee-haw! Toy Story’s Jessie brings her fearless personality and plenty of Lone Star spirit to the Texans.
Indianapolis Colts – Horace Horsecollar
A classic Disney character for one of the NFL’s storied franchises, Horace Horsecollar represents the hardworking Midwest spirit while also giving us the perfect horse-themed connection.
Jacksonville Jaguars – Pepita
The magnificent jaguar spirit guide from Coco represents Jacksonville. Pepita’s courage, strength, and colorful appearance make this one of the more unexpected but incredibly fun pairings.
Tennessee Titans – Thanos
Sometimes you really don’t need a lengthy explanation. He is the Titan! Marvel’s Thanos brings his singular focus, determination, and imposing presence to Tennessee.
AFC West
Denver Broncos – Maximus
Tangled’s Maximus gallops into Denver as a powerful and determined horse with plenty of grit. His personality and pioneering spirit make him a natural choice for the Broncos.
Kansas City Chiefs – Big Bad Wolf
The Big Bad Wolf represents Chiefs Kingdom as an unstoppable force that knows how to command attention wherever he goes.
Las Vegas Raiders – Darth Vader
Darth Vader and the Raiders? This one practically writes itself. The iconic Star Wars villain brings power, edge, intimidation, and plenty of mystique to Las Vegas.
Los Angeles Chargers – Hercules and Pegasus
Legendary strength meets lightning and horsepower! Hercules and Pegasus team up for the Chargers in a design that has plenty of personality.
NFC East
Dallas Cowboys – Woody
There’s a new sheriff in town! Toy Story’s Woody represents the Dallas Cowboys with a pairing built around cowboy imagery, confidence, character, and timeless appeal.
New York Giants – Wreck-It Ralph
Big, bold, and incredibly strong, Wreck-It Ralph is a fitting match for the Giants. Just like Ralph, there is also plenty of heart underneath all that muscle.
Philadelphia Eagles – Doctor Doom
Marvel’s Doctor Doom brings an intimidating presence to Philadelphia. His signature silver and green color palette works especially well with the Eagles, while his flowing cape even gives him a bird-of-prey appearance when he is in action.
Washington Commanders – Hamm
Toy Story’s Hamm represents Washington with a clever tribute to “The Hogs,” the nickname associated with the franchise’s legendary offensive line.
NFC North
Chicago Bears – Baloo
Baloo is a bear’s bear! The fun-loving and loyal Jungle Book character feels right at home representing Chicago.
Detroit Lions – Simba
The Lions get Disney royalty with Simba! The king of Pride Rock represents pride, strength, loyalty, and determination for Detroit.
Green Bay Packers – Chewbacca
Cold weather? No problem. Whether he is battling the elements on Hoth or imagining a snowy afternoon at Lambeau Field, Chewbacca is loyal to the cause until the very end.
Minnesota Vikings – Thor
Marvel’s God of Thunder heads to Minnesota! Thor brings an age-old symbol of strength and power to the Vikings. SKOL!
NFC South
Atlanta Falcons – Millennium Falcon
Okay, this one is just fun. The Atlanta Falcons are represented by the Millennium Falcon, bringing together two passionate, cross-generational fan bases with one very clever name connection.
Carolina Panthers – Bagheera
Bagheera’s disciplined, relentless personality makes the Jungle Book panther a fitting choice for Carolina. His sleek black appearance also works beautifully with the Panthers’ identity.
New Orleans Saints – Louis
This is another pairing that could not be more perfect. Louis from The Princess and the Frog is a trumpet-playing New Orleans local whose infectious enthusiasm matches both Saints fans and the spirit of the city.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Captain Hook
Of course our Buccaneers needed a pirate! Captain Hook brings plenty of pirate attitude and an unmistakable Disney personality to Tampa Bay.
NFC West
Arizona Cardinals – Jafar and Iago
Jafar and Iago head to the desert for the Arizona Cardinals. Between Jafar’s menacing personality and Iago’s bright red feathers, the duo makes a surprisingly natural match.
Los Angeles Rams – Sulley
Big character, big team, big city! Monsters, Inc. favorite Sulley brings his enormous presence to Los Angeles in a pairing inspired by the Rams’ history of dominant defenses.
San Francisco 49ers – Stinky Pete
There’s gold in them there hills! Toy Story 2’s Stinky Pete the Prospector represents the 49ers with a nod to both California’s Gold Rush history and San Francisco’s pursuit of football’s ultimate treasure.
Seattle Seahawks – “Mine! Mine! Mine!” Seagulls
This might win the award for funniest pairing in the entire collection. The unforgettable seagulls from Finding Nemo represent Seattle, serving as a playful tribute to some familiar Pacific Northwest locals. And really, what better attitude for football than “Mine! Mine! Mine!” when the ball is up for grabs?
Disney Magic Meets Football Fandom
The Disney x Champion NFL Collection is part of a larger collaboration between Disney, the NFL, Champion, and Fanatics. It also arrives during Disney and ESPN’s “Year of the Super Bowl,” which will culminate with ESPN’s first-ever Super Bowl presentation on February 14, 2027.
What makes this collection especially fun is how different the pairings are. Some are immediately obvious, like Captain Hook and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers or Woody and the Dallas Cowboys. Others dig deeper into a team’s history, hometown, colors, or fan culture. Then there are pairings like Thanos and the Titans that are so perfectly straightforward that they need almost no explanation at all.
With all 32 teams officially on the board, every NFL fan can get in on the Disney fun. The Disney x Champion NFL Collection is available beginning today through NFL Shop, Fanatics, Disney Store, and select retailers nationwide.
