Disney Channel to End Broadcasts in France and Spain in Early 2025

The closures reflect Disney's ongoing global shift toward its streaming platform, Disney+, while the U.S. channel remains unaffected.

Disney Channel and Disney Junior will cease operations in France on January 1, 2025, and in Spain on January 7, 2025.
The closures are part of Disney's broader strategy to prioritize its streaming service, Disney+, over traditional linear television channels.
Disney has already discontinued its channels in several regions, including Australia, Southeast Asia, Italy, the UK, and South Korea.
Despite online rumors, Disney has confirmed that the Disney Channel will not shut down in the United States at this time.
Viewers in affected countries will still be able to access Disney Channel programming on-demand through Disney+.
