Channel 4 and Disney announced an agreement on October 27 to bring the British broadcaster’s content to Disney+ subscribers in the UK and Ireland. The service is scheduled to launch in early 2027.

According to Disney, it will include Channel 4’s main live channel and selected programmes to watch on demand. The arrangement also provides for some new shows to appear on the streaming platform alongside their Channel 4 release. The announcement describes a planned service, not a change subscribers can already use.
