Disney Layoffs: Entertainment Giant Cuts Hundreds of Jobs Across Pixar, ESPN, and TV Units
The Walt Disney Company eliminated several hundred jobs across Disney Entertainment Television, Pixar Animation Studios, ESPN, and corporate functions.
Nearly 100 positions were cut at Disney Entertainment Television, with National Geographic hit hardest across its cable channel, editorial, and operations teams.
Pixar laid off about 100 roles, affecting a single-digit percentage of its 1,100 workforce as it shifts to a leaner production schedule.
ESPN reduced staff mainly due to operational integration of NFL Network assets, affecting technical and on-air talent.
These layoffs mark the third major round in 2026 under CEO Josh D'Amaro's 'One Disney' restructuring.
