Disney+ is expanding its global reach by launching in 42 countries and 11 territories this summer, though no specific dates or prices have yet been revealed.
The news was first reported by The Hollywood Reporter, with confirmed new locations spanning across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
The summer launch means that it will coincide with the debut of Ms. Marvel, the second Marvel Disney+ series of the year after Moon Knight.
Here’s the full list of countries getting Disney+ later this year: Albania, Algeria, Andorra, Bahrain, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kosovo, Kuwait, Latvia, Lebanon, Libya, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Malta, Montenegro, Morocco, North Macedonia, Oman, Palestine, Poland, Qatar, Romania, San Marino, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Tunisia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Vatican City, and Yemen.
Meanwhile, the territories getting the service are the Faroe Islands, French Polynesia, French Southern Territories, St. Pierre and Miquelon Overseas Collective, the Åland Islands, Sint Maarten, Svalbard & Jan Mayen, British Indian Ocean Territory, Gibraltar, the Pitcairn Islands, and St Helena.
The global launch will help Disney+ challenge other global streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. The former recently raised subscription prices in the US, and the UK and the rest of the world could be following suit soon.
Currently, Disney+ costs £7.99/$7.99 per month and £79.90/$79.99 per year and includes a wide range of content from Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, Walt Disney Animation Studios, Fox and Hulu. You can sign up for an account over on the Disney+ website.
