Disney+ is considering a free streaming tier

10 Jul 2026

Disney+ is considering making some of its streaming library available to watch for free, according to a report from Business Insider.

Disney’s chief product and technology officer Adam Smith discussed the possibility of offering free-tier content during a town hall on Thursday, the report says. It’s unknown which shows or movies would be included or when the streaming platform would consider launching the offering.

The rollout of free content would allow Disney+ to better compete with free services like YouTube and Tubi, which are capturing a growing share of consumers’ viewing time.
