Disney has announced that following the successful launch of the Disney+ ad-supported tier in the United States, Disney has announced ad-supported offering will be available in select markets across Europe and in Canada beginning November 1st 2023.

Internationally, Disney+ is also expanding choice and value options with the launch of a new Standard tier, as well as Standard with Ads in select EMEA markets and Canada.  The new ad-supported plans start at £4.99/€5.99 month in EMEA and $7.99/month in Canada.  Existing subscribers in applicable markets will remain in the Premium tier with No Ads when their subscription price increases in December, unless they opt to switch into one of the new lower-priced plans.

Joe Earley, President, Direct-to-Consumer, Disney Entertainment.

“The strong momentum of our ad-supported plans in the U.S. demonstrates the importance of providing consumers with choice, flexibility and value.  We are excited to expand that offering in more markets across the globe, including in Europe and Canada, and to launch a new premium duo bundle of ad-free Disney+ and Hulu this Fall, as we take steps toward making extensive Hulu content available via Disney+ later this year for Bundle subscribers.”

The ad-supported, Standard and Premium plans in select European markets and Canada offer access to the Disney+ content library and key product features including:

• Exclusive Originals & Library Content: A collection of thousands of award-winning titles across films, documentaries, TV series, and shorts, all in one place
• Profiles: Ability to create multiple profiles per account, with the option to set profile PINs and content ratings by profile through Parental Controls
• Concurrent Viewing: Stream on up to four supported devices simultaneously, depending on your plan
