Which company owns the streaming service Disney+ and launched it in November 2019?

The Walt Disney Company owns Disney+, which launched in November 2019.

Disney+ launched in the United States, Canada and the Netherlands on November 12, 2019. The service provides access to Disney’s film and television catalogues and to original programming. It later expanded to additional international markets.

The Walt Disney Company is a diversified entertainment business with major assets in studios, television, parks, experiences and consumer products. Its brands include Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and National Geographic. The company’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox assets, completed in 2019, also expanded its library and international streaming position.

Disney+ is not the same service as Hulu or ESPN+. Disney has used different ownership and operating arrangements for those services, and availability varies by country. Netflix is a common mix-up because it is a major streaming competitor, but Netflix does not own Disney+ or the Disney brand.
