When I was a kid, Disney Channel was everything. This Gen Zer hogged the family TV every time an episode of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody or Hannah Montana premiered (and most of the rest of the time, too).
So whether you’re a fellow Gen Z needing some nostalgia, or just are excited for the new season of Phineas & Ferb that’s premiering in June, I’ve got you. I’ve compiled the channel numbers for Disney Channel in over 50 U.S. cities across six different TV providers.
I’ve also got info on where to stream Disney Channel on live TV streaming services like YouTube TV, along with details on all the Disney Channel content available on Disney+.
What channel is Disney Channel on near me?
Disney Channel’s channel number will vary according to your city and TV provider of choice.
Satellite TV providers DISH and DIRECTV make things easy by using the same channel numbers across all regions, while cable providers make things a bit more complicated.
If you don’t see your city listed, we recommend entering your zip code into the service-finder tool above to get details on TV providers near you.

Get Disney Channel with a live TV streaming service
Luckily, Disney Channel is pretty widely available, even on live TV streaming services.
Two notable exceptions are Frndly TV and Philo. Philo not carrying Disney Channel is a bit of a bummer, since they do have other kids’ channels like Nickelodeon and Discovery Family.

Watch Disney Channel on Disney+
Data effective as of post date. Offers and availability may vary by location and are subject to change.
Unsurprisingly, if you want to get Disney Channel on an on-demand streaming service, you’ll need a subscription to Disney+.
Not that that’s a bad thing, though. Disney+ will give you next-day Disney Channel premieres, so even though you can’t watch new shows as they air, you won’t be far behind on the action.
Disney+ also has a huge backlog of classic Disney Channel programming. I’m talking the entirety of shows like That’s So Raven, Wizards of Waverly Place, and Lizzie McGuire. And don’t forget about Disney Channel Original Movies like High School Musical—Disney+ has got ‘em all, too.
