Disney XD is a basic cable television channel owned by The Walt Disney Company in Latin America and the Caribbean. It is broadcast throughout the region into five feeds, and features male-focused animation and sitcoms for kids and teenagers, primarily marketed to boys from 6 to 14. It is directly operated by Disney & ESPN Media Networks and The Walt Disney Company Latin America, which are owned by The Walt Disney Company.
The channel was launched on November 8, 1996 as Fox Kids. On July 31, 2004 it was rebranded as Jetix with new on-screen graphics and the premiere of new original shows developed by Disney, due to the acquisition of the Fox Family Worldwide franchise in July 2001, which involved the Latin American management division of the channel. In late-2008, The Walt Disney Company announced that the channel would be relaunched "Disney XD". In May 2009, the Latin American-Disney branch confirmed the rebrand, and on July 3, 2009 Jetix was rebranded as Disney XD, following suit with the launches of the channel in the US and France. On January 18, 2010 a Chilean feed was introduced (collectively known as the Pacific feed), which also broadcasts in Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador with the Chilean time onscreen (UTC−4/-3), pulling off the Argentinian feed that used to air in those countries since 1996 as Fox Kids.
In September 2015, Lego is the official sponsor of Disney XD in the region.
Disney XD Latin America is divided into five feeds across the region, featuring Portuguese language programming in Brazil and Spanish in Hispanic America:
Disney XD Latin America primarily airs programming produced by the Walt Disney Television Animation, Disney XD Original Series, theatre-premiered movies and third-party television shows. The following list contains shows that have been or are currently broadcast on Disney XD in Latin America.
