Disney+ launches on Sky Q in Germany and Austria

April 8, 2021 09.00 Europe/London By Jörn Krieger

German pay-TV broadcaster Sky Deutschland is now offering the Disney+ streaming service as an app on its Sky Q box in Germany and Austria.

The Disney+ app will soon also be available on the Sky Ticket TV stick.

Disney+ content appears on the Sky Q user interface alongside Sky channels and content from other partners. Disney+ content will be integrated into the Sky Q search in summer.

Existing Disney+ customers can log in with their user data. Non-subscribers can sign up at www.disneyplus.com.

With Disney+, Sky is further expanding its range of third-party apps on Sky Q, which already includes ARD, ZDF, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Spotify and DAZN, among others. RTL TVNow will be added in summer.

Disney+ launched in Germany in March 2020, but can only appear on Sky now because the streaming service was tied to Deutsche Telekom’s MagentaTV platform for a year by an exclusive contract with the German telco.
