Free trials are going the way of the cable box. Many of the most popular streaming services, from HBO Maxto Netflix,
have scrapped their free trial offer amidst efforts to boost paying subscriber count.
Disney+ was one of the first major streaming services to make this move, eliminating its free trial all the way back in 2020. This makes it especially difficult for anyone just looking to pop in and watch one title or series (like many of us do), whether it’s The Devil Wears Prada 2, Spider-Man: Homecoming, anything from the Star Wars universe, or a new Marvel movie.
How to Get a Disney+ Free Trial
Luckily, even though Disney+ doesn’t offer a free trial, there are a couple of ways to access Disney+ for free. The streaming service is included in Hulu + Live TV and a few DirecTV packages. Both of these live TV streamers offer a free trial, up to five days, which you can use to access Disney+ for free for a limited time.
Here are more details about these streaming services:
EDITOR'S PICK

➤ Five-day free trial
➤ Disney+ in MyEntertainment, MyKids, and all Signature Packages (with Gemini lease)
Disney+ is included in DirecTV’s MyEntertainment and MyKids Genre Packs, as well as its larger Signature Packages (with a Gemini device lease). All of these plans start with a five-day free trial that you can use to watch Disney+ for free during the trial window. Plus, you’ll get live TV channels and, in most packages, other complimentary subscriptions to services like ESPN Unlimited and Hulu.
Disney+ Free Trial With Hulu + Live TV
➤ Three-day free trial
➤ Disney+ in all plans
Hulu + Live TV is another streaming service that includes a subscription to Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN Unlimited at no additional cost. The service starts with a three-day free trial and costs $89.99 a month after that.
Disney+ Pricing, Bundles
If you don’t want to use the free trial hacks above, you’ll need to sign up for Disney+ or get one of the other streaming bundles that includes the service. Standalone Disney+ packages start at $11.99 per month, but a better deal is the popular Disney+, Hulu Bundle, which starts at just $12.99 a month. Another popular option is to add ESPN Select for a starting price of $19.99 a month. Another option is to get Disney+, Hulu, and HBO Max starting at $19.99 a month.
