A sort of hipper, savvier cousin to the long-lived Disney Channel, Disney XD targets older kids and teens. Sure, you can find some classic kid-friendly Disney fare here, like Mickey Mouse Shorts. But you can also find a dash of anime—from the latest evolution of Pokémon to the surprisingly epic soccer slam Inazuma Eleven. If you’re tired of twiddling your thumbs between the rare assemblages of the Avengers on the big screen, you can catch the animated adaptation of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, as well as the recent Marvel’s Spider-Man series (and reruns of its predecessor, Ultimate Spider-Man) and the very-nearly-as-charming-as-the-films Guardians of the Galaxy cartoon. Some of the Disney Channel’s best shows—DuckTales, Gravity Falls— air here, too, with the former having originally debuted on Disney XD. You can even catch the occasional Overwatch match.

Thankfully, if you want to catch up on Disney XD’s shows, you don’t need a cable subscription to do it. The network’s available on a wide variety of live TV subscription services. And your subscription will also give you access to an array of Disney XD’s shows via the DisneyNow app.

Here’s everything you need to know to watch Disney XD online.

What is Disney XD?

The channel which caters to viewers 6-15 is a merger of two defunct channels, Toon Disney and Jetix. It runs many of the same programming from Disney Channel, its sister network, but also hosts a handful of originals. The XD doesn’t actually stand for anything, according to President of Disney Channels Worldwide Gary Marsh.

  • Launched: February 2009
  • Genre: Animated/Family/Disney
  • Parent Company: Walt Disney Television

Hulu Live TV sets you up with local channels and has a broad spectrum of entertainment and sports channels to review, including the full suite of ESPN channels, Cartoon Network, FX, HGTV, and even deep cuts like National Geographic and Syfy, and of course, Disney XD, where you can stream Ducktales and Spider-Man.

Disney XD on FuboTV

FuboTV started as a streaming service geared toward sports fans, but it’s evolved into a broadly-appealing option with entertainment and news options alongside its robust sports choices. Depending on the package, you can access as many as 180+ FuboTV channels. If you’re looking to be entertained, Bravo, IFC, MTV, and VH1 are options even at Fubo’s most basic tier. The Fubo channel list still includes plenty of sports, including the Fubo Sports Network, which has original programming mixing sports and humor. The FuboTV cost starts at $54.99 a month, and with Disney Media favorites like ABC, ESPN, and the Disney Channel now on board, some who were on the fence about Fubo are giving it another look.

To watch Disney XD, you’ll want to dock in at the FuboTV standard level.

Vidgo offers a package for under $40 a month that pulls together more than 60 English-language channels into its National English Package.

But it’s like Fubo in that, even though it started out for streaming sports, it carries a lot more now. You might be surprised to know that Vidgo’s an option to stream Disney XD—and then you chat about it online via Vidgo’s Social TV platform.
