Disney+ to Unify Hulu Live TV Within a Single Disney+ App
Disney plans to fold Hulu + Live TV into the Disney+ app later this year, phasing out the standalone Hulu app and building a unified platform that combines Disney+, Hulu’s catalog, and live channels (including sports and news) with a live guide, recording, and personalized recommendations. The rollout will occur progressively through 2026, with initial testing for Live TV features on select bundle holders. Hulu-only subscribers will retain access at no extra cost but may see limited Disney-branded content during the transition, while some Hulu elements may persist temporarily to minimize disruption. The move aims to reduce login friction and better position Disney against rivals in a consolidated streaming landscape.
