Disney to Fold Hulu Into Disney+ in 2026, Ending Standalone App

Disney frames the unification as a move to streamline its streaming business.

Overview

Beginning in 2026, Hulu programming will be available exclusively inside the Disney+ app as the separate Hulu app is retired.
The Hulu name will continue within Disney+, but the service will no longer operate as an independent platform.
Disney has not given a precise shutdown date and says subscribers will receive advance instructions before the transition.
Profiles and viewing histories are set to carry over, though navigation, recommendations, and the overall experience will differ from the Hulu app.
Account management and billing are shifting to Disney+, with older Hulu-first plans being phased out and potential price changes for some legacy subscribers reported.
