The Disney + film streaming service will start operating in the Czech Republic in the summer. It will offer viewers images from Disney, Pixar and National Geographic documentaries. The launch of the service in the Czech Republic and several other European countries on Wednesday was confirmed in a press release by The Walt Disney Company. There are already several similar services in the Czech Republic, including Netflix, HBO GO and the Czech Voyo.
The Walt Disney Company will launch the Disney + streaming service this summer in 42 countries and 11 territories in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
On the European continent, in addition to the Czech Republic, it will also be in Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Romania and the Baltics. Until now, the service was only available in Western Europe and Scandinavia.
The Disney + streaming service will offer thousands of shows and episodes produced by Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic and other entertainment content produced by Star. Thanks to Disney’s long history and rich filmography, Disney + will feature both film and television classics and new films and shows from The Walt Disney Studios.
There are already several similar services in the Czech Republic, including Netflix and HBO GO. Last autumn, the American streaming platform HBO Max announced its intention to enter the Czech market, and this year it should replace HBO GO.
The services of streaming platforms can be used on mobile phones, tablets or computers, as well as on so-called smart TVs. The share of smart TVs with an Internet connection has tripled in the last four years and was used by more than a third of Czech households last October.
The number of subscribers to streaming services such as Netflix or HBO GO has increased from three to ten percent of Czechs since 2019, according to last autumn’s statistics of the domestic representation of electronics manufacturer Philips.
