Disney+ launches ad-supported subscription tier in Austria

Disney+ has launched its advertising-supported subscription tier in Austria, expanding its offering in the market to three options.

The new Standard with Ads tier became available on 11 November 2026, alongside the existing Standard and Premium subscriptions. It costs €6.99 per month, compared with €10.99 for Standard and €15.99 for Premium.

The ad-supported option offers video quality of up to 1080p Full HD, 5.1 audio and two concurrent streams.

To mark the launch, Disney+ is offering discounted subscription rates to new customers in Austria from 11 to 24 November. For the first three months, Standard with Ads costs €4.99 per month, Standard €7.99 and Premium €10.99. The promotion is available to consumers aged 18 and over without an active Disney+ subscription.

The introduction of the advertising-supported tier was announced in September 2026. It follows the model already established in several other markets, including neighbouring Germany, where Disney+ also offers an ad-supported Standard subscription.

The Austrian service brings together content from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, Hulu and FX, alongside live sports from ESPN. Recent and upcoming releases include FX series The Shards and City of Blood, the second season of All’s Fair and the third season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians.

All three subscription options include parental controls, such as content restrictions, PIN-protected profiles and dedicated Junior Mode profiles.
