Frisco‑based entertainment collective Dude Perfect is taking its signature sports challenges and comedy beyond YouTube with a new, company‑wide creative partnership with The Walt Disney Company. The agreement will see original, Disney‑inspired content produced for Disney’s entertainment, sports and experiences divisions, and select Dude Perfect videos will appear on Disney+.
Disney collaboration highlights major franchises
The partnership will feature content tied to high‑profile events and franchises, including the upcoming Super Bowl LXI, the 50th anniversary of Star Wars, and Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Doomsday. Dude Perfect will develop Avengers‑themed episodes for its popular Overtime series, blending its familiar mix of competitions, humor and challenges with the Marvel universe. Disney will also gain access to a selection of Dude Perfect’s existing short‑form videos for distribution across Disney+, ESPN and Disney’s social media platforms.
Statements from both companies
“Disney has always been a place where great storytellers come to create, and Dude Perfect brings a distinctive voice and an inventive approach to everything they do,” said Asad Ayaz, Disney’s chief marketing and brand officer, in an official statement.
Dude Perfect’s founders echoed the sentiment, noting that the partnership aligns with their goal of reaching broader audiences while staying true to the group’s playful, family‑friendly style.
Building on an existing relationship
The new deal builds on a relationship that began in 2025 when Dude Perfect attempted to visit all 12 Disney theme parks worldwide in less than 75 hours. The resulting video attracted more than 13 million views within its first 24 hours, and an accompanying Make‑A‑Wish fundraiser raised over $1.2 million.
Since then, Dude Perfect has grown to more than 130 million followers and amassed 22 billion lifetime views across its platforms, according to Disney.
Local impact and future growth
While the partnership expands the group’s national and international reach, Dude Perfect continues to invest in its Frisco roots. The company is exploring a headquarters expansion that could qualify for significant local tax incentives, and it has already added a branded immersive hotel suite at the Omni PGA Frisco.
Additional Disney‑related content is expected to roll out over the coming year, further connecting North Texas creators with some of the world’s most recognizable entertainment franchises.
What this means for the community
The collaboration underscores Frisco’s growing reputation as a hub for innovative digital media companies. By linking local talent with a global entertainment powerhouse, the partnership promises new opportunities for jobs, tourism and community engagement, while delivering family‑friendly content that aligns with the values of our region.
