Disney Channel is an Indian television channel owned by the Indian division of The Walt Disney Company, specialising in television programming for children through original series, movies and third-party programming. The channel was officially launched on December 17, 2004. Originally positioned towards kids, Disney Channel had recently launched a slew of new TV shows airing on weekends that were aimed at the whole family. The channel is very popular among kids and teens in India and had consistently ranked as the number one kids' channel in the country until 2012.

Disney Channel is available as a pay-TV channel on most cable and satellite TV providers. The channel is based in Mumbai, Maharashtra. It is the first kids' and teens' channel to cross 200+ GRPs for five years. It is available in English, Hindi, Telugu and Tamil, although many shows broadcast on the channel are only available in Hindi.

Before the launch of the channel, a Disney-branded programming block used to air on Sony TV, known as "Disney Hour" and "Disney Mornings". When the channel was finally launched, the first TV providers to carry it were Star Plus and Zee TV. Currently, Disney Channel is available across all major DTH and cable platforms in India, especially Tata Sky, Dish TV, BigTV, and Airtel. On digital cable services, it is available on DEN Networks, Hathway and Sea TV.

Playhouse Disney started airing in 2006, as a block on Disney Channel. On 4 July 2011, it was replaced by Disney Junior, which eventually became a 24-hour channel focused on kids. It is available on various DTH and cable operators.
