You can watch Hulu through the Disney Plus app without signing into Hulu separately
If you have both a Disney Plus account and a Hulu account, you can link them so that Hulu content appears in the Disney Plus app. This is not the same as a bundle — you still need separate accounts and subscriptions for each service. The link lets you access Hulu's catalog without opening a second app or signing in twice.
The process takes about five minutes and works on phones, tablets, computers, and streaming devices. Once linked, your Hulu profile will show up as a tab or section inside Disney Plus, depending on which device you are using.
Key Takeaways
- Linking Hulu to Disney Plus requires you to have active accounts on both services with the same email address.
- On phones and tablets, go to your Disney Plus profile settings, select "Linked Services," and choose Hulu to sign in.
- On computers and streaming devices, the process is similar but the menu location may differ — look for account settings or profile options.
- After linking, Hulu content will appear as a separate tab or section in your Disney Plus app, but you still need separate subscriptions to both services.
Link Hulu on a phone or tablet
Open the Disney Plus app and tap your profile icon in the bottom right corner. Tap "Account" or "Settings" (the exact wording depends on your device). Scroll down until you see "Linked Services" or "Connect Apps."
Tap "Hulu" and you will be asked to sign in with your Hulu email and password. Use the same email address you use for your Disney Plus account — if the addresses do not match, the link will not work. After you sign in, the app will confirm the connection and return you to the Disney Plus home screen.
Hulu should now appear as a tab at the top of the Disney Plus app or as a section you can scroll to. If you do not see it right away, close the app completely and open it again.
Link Hulu on a computer or web browser
Go to disneyplus.com and sign in with your Disney Plus account. Click your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Account" or "Settings." Look for a section called "Linked Services," "Connected Apps," or "Integrations."
Click on Hulu and sign in with your Hulu credentials. Make sure you are using the same email address for both accounts. Once you confirm, the page will show that Hulu is linked, and you can close the settings window.
Refresh the Disney Plus home page and look for a Hulu tab or section. It may take a minute or two to appear after linking.
Link Hulu on a streaming device or smart TV
Open the Disney Plus app on your device and navigate to your profile or account settings. The exact path depends on your device — on Roku, look for "Settings" in the menu; on Apple TV, go to your profile and select "Account"; on Amazon Fire Stick, tap the menu and find "Settings."
Find "Linked Services" or a similar option and select Hulu. You will be shown a code or a link to a website where you can sign in. If you see a code, go to the URL shown on your screen (usually something like disneyplus.com/link) on your phone or computer, enter the code, and sign in with your Hulu account. If the app asks you to sign in directly, use your Hulu email and password.
After you complete the sign-in, return to the Disney Plus app on your device. Hulu should appear as a tab or section within a few minutes. If it does not, restart the app.
What to do if the link does not work
The most common reason linking fails is that your Disney Plus and Hulu accounts use different email addresses. Check both accounts and make sure the email is the same. If one account uses a different email, you will need to change it before linking.
If the email addresses match and linking still does not work, sign out of the Disney Plus app completely, wait 30 seconds, and sign back in. Then try linking Hulu again. On a computer, try a different browser or clear your browser cache before attempting the link.
If you still cannot link the accounts, check that both your Disney Plus and Hulu subscriptions are active and in good standing. A subscription that has lapsed or been paused will not link. You can also try unlinking and relinking — go back to the Linked Services menu, remove Hulu, and then add it again.
What happens after you link Hulu
Once linked, you will see Hulu content mixed into your Disney Plus experience. On most devices, Hulu appears as a separate tab you can tap to browse Hulu shows and movies. On some devices, Hulu recommendations may also show up in your Disney Plus home feed.
Linking does not change your subscription cost or combine your bills. You still pay for Disney Plus and Hulu separately. If you have a Hulu subscription with ads, you will see ads when you watch through the Disney Plus app. If you have an ad-free Hulu plan, you will not see ads.
You can unlink Hulu from Disney Plus at any time by going back to Linked Services and removing it. This does not cancel either subscription — it just removes Hulu from the Disney Plus app.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a Disney Plus and Hulu bundle to link them?
No. You can link any Disney Plus account to any Hulu account, whether you bought them separately or as part of a bundle. If you have a bundle, linking is automatic and you do not need to do anything.
Can I link Hulu to Disney Plus if we use different email addresses?
No. Both accounts must use the same email address to link. If they do not, you will need to change the email on one of the accounts first. You can do this in the account settings for either Disney Plus or Hulu.
Will linking Hulu to Disney Plus let me watch Hulu for free?
No. Linking only lets you access Hulu through the Disney Plus app. You still need an active Hulu subscription to watch anything. Linking is a convenience feature, not a way to get a free subscription.
What if I unlink Hulu from Disney Plus?
Unlinking removes Hulu from your Disney Plus app, but it does not cancel your Hulu subscription or affect your Disney Plus account. You can link them again at any time by following the same steps.
Does linking work on all devices?
Linking works on phones, tablets, computers, and most streaming devices including Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire Stick, and Google TV. The steps are slightly different on each device, but the process is the same. If your device does not have a Linked Services option, it may not support this feature.
