If you own one of EE TV’s set-top boxes and you’ve been reaching for a different device every time you wanted to watch Disney+, that small daily annoyance is now over.
EE has added the Disney+ app to its boxes, so the service now sits alongside Netflix, NOW and the rest, without an input change or a second remote.
It’s useful news for a lot of households. It’s also, if we’re honest, a little overdue – Disney+ has been a fixture on practically every streaming device going for years, so EE’s own hardware getting it in mid-2026 is more a case of catching up than breaking new ground.
Still, catching up is catching up, and for EE TV customers, it closes one of the more obvious gaps in the platform’s line-up.
Here’s what’s now available, which boxes get it, and how much a Disney+ subscription will set you back – including a current deal worth knowing about before you sign up.
Quick EE TV Recap
EE TV is the pay-TV service available to BT Broadband and EE Broadband customers – both networks share the same parent company, so the TV side is the same whichever one bills you.
It runs on a choice of boxes. The EE TV Box Pro is a 4K/HDR YouView-based box with Freeview recording built in, and there’s a smaller version called the EE TV Box Edge.
EE broadband customers can alternatively opt for an EE TV Apple TV 4K Box – an Apple TV 4K with EE’s app pre-installed. (A few years ago, EE also offered Sky Stream to its customers – but that option was dropped at some point).
The platform went through a bit of a shake-up in March, when HBO Max arrived. The new streaming service was built into the NOW Entertainment membership, Discovery+ departed for new subscribers, and TNT Sports moved over to HBO Max.
EE also added the DAZN app to the Box Pro and Box Edge around the same time.
The one thing all of that left untouched was Disney+ – which, until now, you couldn’t get as an app on EE’s YouView boxes at all.
The News: Disney+ Lands On The Box Pro And Box Edge
As of today, the Disney+ app is available on the EE TV Box Pro and EE TV Box Edge. You’ll find it as an app you download and sign in to, the same way you would with Netflix and all the other 3rd-party apps.
For anyone who isn’t sure what that gets you, Disney+ is the streaming home for Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, Hulu (previously Star), FX and ESPN.
That’s a broad spread these days – family films and Marvel boxsets at one end, grown-up Hulu and FX drama at the other, and live sport under the ESPN banner on top.
Recent and upcoming titles include Disney’s Zootropolis 2, Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord, The Testaments, FX’s The Beauty and the second season of National Geographic’s Tucci in Italy.
Still to come are the British comedy-drama Alice and Steve and the fifth and final season of FX’s The Bear, which lands later this month.
Luciano Oliveira, Director of Product, Home & TV at EE, said adding the app “brings an even broader mix of much-loved content to the platform,” giving customers “more of what they love, all in one place.”
Of course, EE TV customers who chose the Apple TV 4K box have been able to watch Disney+ all along, via the App Store. It’s the YouView-based Box Pro and Box Edge that have been without it.
How Much Disney+ Costs – And The Catch
Because this is an app you manage yourself rather than bundled content, you’ll need your own Disney+ subscription, billed directly by Disney. There are three tiers:
- Standard with Ads – £5.99/month: the full library in Full HD, two streams, with adverts and no downloads
- Standard – £9.99/month (or £99.90/year): no ads, plus downloads for offline viewing, still Full HD
- Premium – £14.99/month (or £149.90/year): 4K UHD and HDR, Dolby Atmos, four streams, ad-free
Those are the standard prices, and they’re what EE’s announcement lists. But there’s a cheaper way in at the moment that’s worth knowing about.
Disney+ is currently running a six-month saver across all three tiers: £4.99 for Standard with Ads, £7.99 for Standard, and £10.99 for Premium.
The catch is in the name – it’s a six-month minimum term, so you can’t cancel and walk away the moment you’ve binged what you came for.
On the two paid tiers, that saver actually works out cheaper per month than Disney’s own annual plan, which makes it the lowest monthly rate Disney currently offers directly.
If you already know you want Disney+ for a good while, it’s the smart way to subscribe. If you’d rather dip in and out, stick with the rolling monthly plan and the freedom to leave.
EE TV’s Current Bundle Deals
Separately from Disney+, EE TV is running a limited-time promotion on three of its bundles – and worth being clear up front, none of these bundles include Disney+.
They cover NOW, HBO Max, Netflix and the various sports tiers, so the Disney+ app stays a separate subscription on top whichever bundle you’re on.
The countdown timer on EE’s site shows roughly a week left on these at the time of writing, so they won’t be around long:
- Entertainment – £1/month for six months, then £22 (NOW Entertainment with HBO Max, plus Netflix Standard with Ads)
- Sport – £5/month for six months, then £25 (all four TNT Sports channels, plus TNT Sports on HBO Max)
- Full Works – £40/month for three months, then £88 (the everything bundle: NOW Entertainment, Cinema and Sports, HBO Max, Netflix and TNT Sports)
After the promotional period, all three follow EE’s usual £2/month March increases – so Entertainment rises to £24 from March 31, 2027 and £26 from March 31, 2028, with the others climbing in step.
For context, the two bundles that sit between these – Big Entertainment (£32/month) and Big Sport (£51/month) – aren’t part of the current promotion, so they’re at their standard prices.
