What are all the ways to get a Disney+ subscription?

Disney+ is a widely available streaming service, and we’ll let you know how to get it on its own, as a benefit of a pay-TV plan, or anything in between.

Known for breaking major streaming stories, he’s covered everything from Netflix policy shifts to Peacock’s ad-tier changes. A sci-fi fan and Toshiba Fire TV user, he brings sharp analysis and a love for the genre to his reporting.
We lay out all the ways to sign up for a Disney+ subscription.

Everywhere you look these days, it seems you can get an Disney+ subscription just about any way you want it. Disney+ is widely available, and you can grab it in various bundles, with a direct subscription, or as an added benefit with various telecom and pay-TV products.

The list of methods to get Disney+ is long enough that it’s easy to get confused by all the available routes you can take. Take a look at all your options below!

What are all the ways to sign up for Disney+?

Directly

You can, of course, sign up for Disney+ by heading to the streaming service's website and shopping for the plan you want. Here, you can see various versions of the Disney Bundle, and you can sign up for Disney+ by itself as well — though this is a little trickier to accomplish, since Disney works pretty hard to sell you a bundled subscription.

If you only want Disney+ by itself, the easiest way to get it is to visit the Disney+ home page, then scroll all the way down to the “What is Disney+ and how much does it cost?” section. Here, you will find links to subscribe to Disney+ Basic for $12 per month, or Disney+ Premium for $19 per month.

Through the Disney Bundle

As mentioned, Disney works quite hard to sell you its flagship streamer as part of a bundle with other services. You can bundle Disney+ with Hulu starting at $13 per month if you want to go with ad plans, or you can upgrade to ad-free as well.

Disney+ and Hulu can also be bundled with the new ESPN direct-to-consumer service, which has two tiers: ESPN Select, which has the content formerly found on ESPN+, and ESPN Unlimited, which comes with all content found on ESPN linear channels. Viewers can sign up for the Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN Select bundle starting at $20 per month, or upgrade to ESPN Unlimited starting at $30 per month.

Audiences can also bundle Disney+ and Hulu with HBO Max starting at $20 per month if they’re okay with watching with ads, or $33 per month without ads. All of these bundle choices are available to subscribe to through the Disney+ website.

With Hulu + Live TV

The Hulu + Live TV bundle is basically another extension of the Disney Bundle. For $89 per month, you can get Hulu plus a package of around 90 linear channels. For just $1 more, however, you can get ad-supported Disney+ and ESPN Unlimited included as well, making for a much more well-rounded experience. Hulu + Live TV customers can upgrade to ad-free versions of Disney+ and Hulu for an additional monthly fee.

Hulu Live TV

Hulu Live TV is a live TV streaming service with more than 70 channels for $89.99 per month. Hulu + Live TV base plan includes local channels 32 of the top 35 cable channels, and regional sports networks (RSNs). Subscribers get free access to Disney+ and ESPN Select at no extra charge.

…

Where it really separates itself is value. Your subscription doesn’t just cover live TV — it also includes full access to Hulu’s on-demand library, plus bundled subscriptions to Disney+ and ESPN Select content at no extra cost. That means you’re getting everything from next-day network TV episodes and Hulu Originals, to Marvel, Star Wars, and live sports content all in one place without juggling multiple bills.

For sports fans, Hulu + Live TV also includes regional sports networks (RSNs) in select areas, a feature many competing services have dropped. That can be a big deal if you’re trying to follow local MLB, NBA, or NHL teams.

The DVR experience is another strong point. Subscribers get unlimited cloud DVR storage and the ability to fast-forward through commercials on recorded content — a feature that used to cost extra but is now standard. It’s designed to feel closer to a traditional cable DVR, just without the box.

If you want to customize further, several add-ons are available. You can upgrade to premium channels like HBO, Showtime, or Starz, add an unlimited streams option for households with lots of viewers, or go ad-free on Hulu’s on-demand content (live TV will still include ads).

Overall, Hulu + Live TV is less about being the cheapest option and more about being the most comprehensive. It’s built for people who want live TV, on-demand shows, and bundled streaming services all under one roof — without having to piece everything together themselves.

Through DIRECTV

DIRECTV offers Disney+ as an added benefit with a variety of packages at no additional cost. Let’s start with DIRECTV’s Signature channel packages; the company offers Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN Unlimited with all Signature channel plans that customers elect to receive through a Gemini device, instead of using their own device. DIRECTV Signature plans normally start at $90 per month.

Viewers can also sign up for DIRECTV’s MyEntertainment Genre Pack to enjoy Disney+, Hulu, and HBO Max with ads alongside a package of 40+ channels for $35 per month. Finally, the MyKids Genre Pack includes Disney+ with ads for free as well, at a cost of $20 per month for the whole plan.
