Disney Channel will close in Brazil from February 2025. Find out where you can watch the channel’s productions!
On the night of last Monday, the 2nd, Brazilian fans were surprised by the announcement that Disney Channel will leave the pay channel catalog in Brazil from February 2025, after more than 20 years marking the lives of different generations.
In addition to Disney Channel, other channels that are part of Disney will also be closed here, including Star Channel, FX, Nat Geo, Cinecanal and Baby TV. As reported by F5, from Folha de S. Paulo, the main reason for the decision would be the low ratings, with the only survivor being ESPN.
In a statement, Disney explained that the choice is a response to “transformations in the local media landscape”.
“In response to the transformations in the local media and entertainment landscape, and to ensure that we continue to evolve and meet the needs of our consumers with agility and innovation, we have decided to discontinue the operation of some linear channels in Brazil from February 28, 2025 This decision includes the closure of Star Channel, Cinecanal, FX, National Geographic, Disney Channel and Baby TV, without impacting our sports channels,” Disney said in a statement.
But where do the programs go?
With the end of Disney Channel in Brazil, many fans began to question themselves: after all, where can we find our favorite films and series after the end of the channel?
Since before its end, all content shown on the beloved channel, including its original productions, has been available on the Disney+ streaming platform, including classic titles such as “High School Musical”, “Camp Rock”, “Hannah Montana”, “The Wizards from Waverly Place”, “That’s So Raven”, “Lizzie McGuire”, “Zack & Cody: Twins and Action”, among others.

I really feel for this generation that doesn’t know what it’s like to get home from school, turn on the television, put it straight on Disney Channel and watch a sequence of Hannah Montana, Wizards of Waverly Place, Sunny Among Stars etc and then watch a movie right after this intro here https://t.co/E726DjPQb6pic.twitter.com/bI5vz2veLw

We can’t expect much from future generations, as they will never have the pleasure of turning on the Disney Channel and having a Demi Lovato to shape their character… pic.twitter.com/auPEg1PNoS
