Disney is taking fantasy football a little more literally.

The entertainment giant has teamed with the NFL, Champion and Fanatics on a new apparel collection pairing every one of the league’s 32 teams with a character from across Disney, Pixar, Marvel and “Star Wars” — from Darth Vader repping the Las Vegas Raiders to Captain America suiting up for the New England Patriots.

The full collection officially launched Monday following a smaller debut at Fanatics Fest NYC in July. The lineup includes T-shirts, crewnecks and fleece for men, women and kids, with prices ranging from about $29 for kids’ tees to $119.99 for select sweatshirts. The collection is available through Disney Store, Fanatics and NFL Shop, as well as select Lids locations nationwide.

Rather than simply slapping Mickey Mouse onto 32 different jerseys, Disney says its designers dug into each franchise’s history, hometown, colors, nicknames and fan culture to determine the matchups. The Minnesota Vikings get Marvel’s hammer-wielding Thor, while the Tennessee Titans are paired with Thanos — who is, after all, a Titan. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers get Captain Hook; the Dallas Cowboys get Woody from “Toy Story”; and the Atlanta Falcons are represented by the Millennium Falcon.

Others go deeper into team lore. The Cleveland Browns are paired with Pluto, a nod to the team’s famously loyal “Dawg Pound,” while the Washington Commanders get “Toy Story’s” Hamm in tribute to the franchise’s famed “Hogs” offensive line. Green Bay Packers fans can bundle up alongside Chewbacca, whose ability to endure Hoth-like conditions makes him an apt choice for winters at Lambeau Field.

New York gets two particularly literal selections: Buzz Lightyear takes flight with the Jets, while the Giants are paired with the appropriately oversized Wreck-It Ralph.

For Philadelphia Eagles fans, the defending franchise is represented by Marvel villain Doctor Doom, whose silver-and-green armor and flowing cape were chosen to evoke the team’s colors and bird-of-prey imagery.

On the West Coast, Darth Vader lends some extra menace to the Raiders’ black-and-silver identity, while Sulley from “Monsters, Inc.” fronts the Los Angeles Rams. The San Francisco 49ers get “Toy Story 2’s” Stinky Pete the Prospector — a particularly deep-cut reference to the California Gold Rush that gave the team its name.

Disney first unveiled eight of the pairings during its “Disney Fan Draft” at Fanatics Fest NYC on July 16, where NFL commissioner Roger Goodell appeared alongside current and former football stars including Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski and Emmitt Smith.

The collaboration also arrives as Disney and ESPN ramp up their presence around the NFL. It forms part of the companies’ “Year of the Super Bowl,” a yearlong initiative leading into ESPN’s first-ever Super Bowl production. Super Bowl LXI will take place at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Feb. 14, 2027, airing on both ESPN and ABC.
