Sign in with your DirecTV credentials on Disney Plus
If you have DirecTV, you can watch Disney Plus through your existing DirecTV login without creating a separate Disney Plus account. Go to disneyplus.com or open the Disney Plus app on your device, select "Log in", then choose "DirecTV" from the list of providers. Enter your DirecTV username and password, and you will be signed in to Disney Plus when ready.
This method works on phones, tablets, computers, and streaming devices like Roku, Apple TV, and Fire TV. The process is the same across all of them: find the provider login option, select DirecTV, and use your existing DirecTV credentials.

Where to find the DirecTV login option
On the Disney Plus website, go to disneyplus.com and click "Log in" in the top right corner. You will see a list of providers including DirecTV, Verizon, Hulu, and others. Click on DirecTV and enter your username and password.
On the Disney Plus app, open it and tap "Log in" at the bottom of the screen. The same provider list appears. Select DirecTV, then enter your credentials. The app will redirect you to DirecTV's login page to verify your account, then return you to Disney Plus.
What happens after you log in
Once you enter your DirecTV credentials, Disney Plus checks whether your DirecTV account includes Disney Plus access. If it does, you are signed in when ready and can start watching. Your Disney Plus profile syncs with your DirecTV account, so your watchlist and viewing history follow you across devices.
If your DirecTV plan does not include Disney Plus, you will see a message saying the service is not available on your account. In that case, you can contact DirecTV to add Disney Plus to your plan, or create a standalone Disney Plus account instead.
Signing in on different devices
On a computer or phone browser: Go to disneyplus.com, click "Log in", select DirecTV, and enter your username and password.
On the Disney Plus app for phone or tablet: Open the app, tap "Log in", select DirecTV, and enter your credentials. You may be asked to confirm your location or verify your device the first time you sign in.
On streaming devices like Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, or Google TV: Open the Disney Plus app, select "Log in with TV provider", choose DirecTV, and enter your username and password. Some devices will give you a code to enter on a separate screen instead of typing your password directly.
If DirecTV does not appear in the provider list
If you do not see DirecTV when you look for providers, your app may be out of date. Go to your device's app store, search for Disney Plus, and check whether an update is available. Install it and try again.
If DirecTV still does not appear after updating, your DirecTV account may not include Disney Plus access. Check your DirecTV bill or log into your DirecTV account online to confirm whether Disney Plus is part of your plan. If it is not, you can add it through DirecTV or create a separate Disney Plus account.
Creating a standalone Disney Plus account instead
You do not have to use your DirecTV login. You can create a separate Disney Plus account with your own email address and password. Go to disneyplus.com, click "Log in", select "Create account", and follow the steps. You will need to provide an email address, create a password, and add a payment method.
A standalone account costs money each month, whereas signing in through DirecTV uses your existing DirecTV subscription. Choose the standalone account only if you prefer to manage Disney Plus separately from your DirecTV bill, or if your DirecTV plan does not include Disney Plus.
Troubleshooting common login problems
Your password is not working: Go to directv.com, click "Forgot username or password", and follow the steps to reset it. Use your new password to sign into Disney Plus.
You are stuck on the DirecTV login page: Make sure you are entering your DirecTV username or email address, not your account number. If you still cannot sign in, restart the Disney Plus app or refresh the website and try again.
You signed in but cannot watch anything: Your DirecTV account may not have Disney Plus included, or your subscription may have expired. Check your DirecTV account status online or call DirecTV customer service to confirm your plan includes Disney Plus.
Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Disney Plus ask me to verify my location when I sign in with DirecTV?
DirecTV requires location verification for security and to confirm you are in a service area. The first time you sign in on a new device, you may be asked to confirm your zip code or allow the app to access your location. This is normal and takes less than a minute.
Can I watch Disney Plus offline if I sign in with DirecTV?
The Disney Plus app allows you to read shows and movies to watch offline, but only if you have a standalone Disney Plus account. The DirecTV login method does not support offline downloads at this time.
