A small upheaval awaits you from January 1, 2025. Indeed, bad news for those whose mornings were punctuated by Disney Channel programs because the channel is closing its doors after 27 years of good and loyal service. However, don't panic, you don't have to say goodbye to flagship programs such as Raven phenomenon, Wizards of Waverly Place or even Jessie ! Here's where to (re)watch your favorite series and films!
If you grew up watching Disney Channel and were told “This is real, this is me. I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be now, gonna let the light shine on me” you should automatically think of the first movie Camp Rock. But that's not all, we could also sing to you “Bring the lights up ! Bust the doors down ! Dust yourself off, shake it up, shake it up !” in order to take you back to 2010 when we discovered CeCe and Rocky aka Bella Thorne and Zendaya in the series Shake it up !. In short, you will have understood, since its creation, the Disney Channel has been the meeting place for many children and adolescents, but above all the one and only place where fans could see teen series like Wizards of Waverly Place, Zack and Cody's Cruise Life, Jonas L.A., Raven phenomenon or the flagship series Hannah Montana. But that's not all, Disney fans were also able to discover cartoons like Phinéas et Ferb, Kim Possible or even Star Butterfly. Without forgetting iconic films and sagas like Camp Rock, High School Musical, Lemonade Mouth, 16 wishes, Princess Protection Program : Mission Rosalinda and many others…
Unfortunately, after nearly thirty years of service, the legendary Disney Channel is preparing to close its doors as of this Wednesday, January 1, 2025.

However, it is possible to find all your favorite programs on one and the same platform!
High School Musical, Good luck Charlie, Austin and Ally…: where to watch Disney Channel series and films?
In truth, it has already been a while since the channel ceased to exist in several countries such as Australia, Italy and South Korea. This decision is part of the new strategy of the Disney teams who wish to concentrate their efforts on its Disney+ streaming platform, particularly because consumption habits have changed and younger generations are turning more to streaming than television. This change also impacts Canal+ subscribers; in fact, those who enjoyed Disney Channel and Disney Junior via one of the encrypted channel's packages no longer have access to them. More generally, beyond the closure of Disney Channel in France, as of January 1, new films, the streaming service or even channels linked to Disney will also no longer be available via Canal+.
You will therefore now need to subscribe to a Disney+ subscription if you have not already done so or simply get into the habit of going to the streaming platform to find your Disney Channel content. However, the good news is that all the programs you discovered on the channel are already available on the streaming platform. In other words, prepare to (re)watch the entire films Camp Rockthe series Hannah Montana, Section Genius or even Jessiethe opportunity to dive back into the youth of international stars like Selena Gomez, Zac Efron, Zendaya, Dove Cameron, Miley Cyrus, the Jonas brothers and many others…
