What devices are compatible with Disney+?

By Chris Gates November 12, 2019

After months of waiting, Disney+ is here, bringing with it all of the Star Wars, Marvel Cinematic Universe and Disney Channel content you could ever want. But can you actually watch it? Without a device that supports Disney+, you won’t be able to enjoy The Mandalorian, Avengers: Endgame (and the rest of the MCU, give or take a few titles), or any of the other 600-plus shows and movies in Disney+’s huge library.

All devices that support Disney+
Other hardware you might want

Well, we have good news: If you have a device that can stream content from Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime Video, you’ll probably be able to use Disney+ too. Just like Disney itself, Disney+ is everywhere.

All devices that support Disney+

The Disney+ app can be found on all major streaming boxes, mobile devices, and most game consoles, and can be accessed via all modern web browsers.

You can watch Disney+ on:

Roku
Amazon Fire and Amazon Fire TV devices
Apple TV
Chromecast
iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch
Android phones and tablets
Xbox One
PlayStation 4
LG smart TVs
Samsung smart TVs
Sony’s Android-based smart TVs
Web browsers

Really, the only big piece of hardware that can’t watch Disney+ is the Nintendo Switch — and that’ll change in the future if Disney has its way.

That list might look a little different than what you’ve seen in the past. Disney didn’t add support for Amazon Fire TV boxes until almost the last minute, thanks to a squabble between Disney and Amazon over advertising revenue on some of Disney’s streaming platforms.

Other hardware you might want

Unlike its peers, Disney+ includes 4K Ultra HD content with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support at no extra cost, although it’s not going to apply to every movie and TV show on the service. While new feature films and Disney+’s original series should look and sound great, don’t expect Disney’s old live-action family films or Disney+’s collection of ’90s cartoons to all support Ultra HD.

Sign up for Disney+ now

Still, if you’re shopping for hardware, for Disney+, make sure your streaming box supports 4K, and invest in a good television and an Atmos-capable receiver or soundbar. Trust us. It’s worth the extra money.

ESPN+ Free Trial: Can you sign up for free in 2024?

If you love watching sports and gaining access to some of the best shows, documentaries, in-demand content, and even films related to sports, then ESPN+ is the perfect service for you. Unfortunately, there aren't currently any free trials for ESPN+ for 2024, but there are some other options, such as the Disney+ bundles and carrier options. Keep reading and we'll go through all the options you have to grab yourself an ESPN+ subscription for cheap or potentially for free.
Is there an ESPN+ free trial?

The short answer is there is no ESPN+ free trial as of now. ESPN offered a free trial back in 2018 when it launched its premium streaming platform, but that was sadly short-lived. If you're looking for a way to try ESPN+ for free (or at least save some money on your subscription), though, then don't give up just yet -- you have some options.
