From The Mandalorian to Loki — the platform offers a huge range of content to stream, plus older favourites like Modern Family, The Walking Dead and How I Met Your Mother. The best Disney Plus shows are diverse and cover a wide variety of themes and genres.
Sign up for Disney Plus for £7.99 a month or £79.90 a year
There used to be a Disney+ free trial on offer for new subscribers in the UK, from Disney itself, but that sadly ended after a couple of months in mid-2020. Don’t fret, though, there are still some great bundles and offers to snap up.
There’s even a method to get six months for free if you’re looking to get a new smartphone or SIM. Read on for the latest deals and info on how to bag a Disney Plus subscription for your streaming device or smart TV.

Get six months’ Disney+ for free with a Samsung Galaxy phone
What’s the deal: If you buy a Samsung Galaxy S21 FE , Samsung Galaxy S22 or Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra direct from Samsung, you can bag a six-month Disney+ subscription.
Why we chose it: Who doesn’t love a free subscription! Especially when it comes with a device you were planning on purchasing anyway.
The Disney offer with the FE, S22 and S22 Ultra is available through to 11th June 2022.
Also, if you already have an eligible device, you could claim your Samsung Galaxy Disney Plus Boost now.
Six months’ free Disney+ with an O2 SIM
What’s the deal: If you’re upgrading an O2 SIM, or switching to O2 from another network, then you can bag up to six months of Disney+ for free as part of your new deal.
Depending on the plan you choose and how much it costs per month, you can select additional ‘Plus’ benefits from O2. A Disney+ subscription is one of those available at the moment.
For example, if you commit to a 24-month plan, paying £15 per month for 15GB of data, then you’ll be able to claim three months of Disney+ for free.
Or, if you go for a heftier 75GB plan, costing £18 per month for 24 months, then you’ll be able to bag six months of Disney+ with your new SIM.
There’s also the 150GB for £22 a month plan which will see you get six months of Disney+ for free. This, too, is a 24-month plan.
Why we chose it: If you’re on the lookout for a phone anyway, or you’re an O2 customer renewing, then this is an easy way to bag yourself some free Disney+. We recommend weighing up how much data you’ll actually use to make sure you’re still getting the best value.
Rivals Vodafone offer similar streaming bundles with some of their devices and plans, but these feature Spotify, YouTube Premium and Amazon Prime Video, rather than Disney+.

Save £2 on Disney+ each month with O2 Priority
What’s the deal: We’ve already mentioned one Disney+ deal from O2, but this one helps out those of you who are existing O2 customers. Add Disney+ to your plan and get £2 off per month!
Why we chose it: If you’re an existing O2 customer, this is a great way to save on a Disney+ subscription. While £2 might not seem like a huge saving, the subscription isn’t expensive in the first place, so it’s a saving worth making!
Sign up to Disney+ to claim the offer. Or, if you’re already a Disney+ user, simply add it as an ‘Extra’ on your plan. You’ll be able to claim £2 off each month for six months.
Disney Plus for existing O2 customers | £7.99 per month £5.99 per month (save £2 or 25%)
Buy a Disney+ gift card
What’s the deal: Looking for the perfect gift for a Disney-obsessed pal? Or for the big Star Wars fan in your life? The same savings on the annual subscription can be made on a Disney+ gift card, making it easy to gift the platform’s amazing range of entertainment.
Why we chose it: This is a thoughtful gift, and one that’s easy to match up with the interests of a close friend or relative. Plus, you’re likely to see some of that great content yourself – win, win!

Why we chose it: Stream is available at no extra cost to Virgin Media broadband users, just one £35 set-up fee, so it’s perfect for Virgin Media customers. Plus, if you need to cancel, then re-subscribe to Disney+, Stream makes this straightforward, too.

Tesco Clubcard offer
What’s the deal: Tesco Clubcard holders can use £8 in Clubcard vouchers to purchase three months of Disney+. That’s just over £2.60 per month which is a fantastic introductory rate.
Why we chose it: This is a fantastically low price for three months of Disney+ and will no doubt be popular with Tesco Clubcard users.
Disney+ bundles
Bad news. Unfortunately, when it comes to Disney+ bundles, the UK market is poorly served.
US customers can pay $13.99 a month for an expanded subscription which also includes ESPN+ and Hulu (with ads $13.99 or without $19.99).
This simply isn’t available in the UK right now, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see some sort of similar bundle land soon. We’ll update this page with the latest offerings when it does.
Is Disney+ free with Amazon Prime UK?
This is a commonly asked question and unfortunately, the answer is no. Don’t despair, though, if you’re an Amazon Prime Video subscriber there are still some great Disney films on offer.
Previously, Amazon has offered US customers six months of Disney+ if they signed up for Amazon Music Unlimited. However, that offer has never been available to UK subscribers.
But, if you do have a Prime Video subscription – or are considering one – and want to watch Disney content, there are some great Disney films on Prime Video. The likes of Luca, Moana, The Little Mermaid and Lilo & Stitch are all available to buy or rent via Amazon Prime Video.
