Disney Channel is a French television channel owned by The Walt Disney Company France. It is a localized version of the U.S. cable television channel of the same name.

The channel was launched on 22 March 1997. It was free with ISPs from April 2011 to April 2020,[1][2][3][4] and returned in some ISPs from January 2025 after leaving its historic distributor Canal+ from which the channel was exclusive in France and Africa.

In 2013, Disney Channel had the largest audience share of thematic pay channels in France (0.8%), according to a study carried out by Médiamétrie.[5]
