30 Best Disney+ Alternatives Right Now

ESPN, ABC, FX, and other Disney-owned channels are not currently available to stream on DirecTV due to a carriage dispute.

Disney+ is one of the biggest players in the streaming service industry, with titles from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, Fox, and National Geographic under its belt. However, even with its impressive library of content, most Disney+ shows and movies are often family-oriented or sourced from existing franchises. 

The platform also focuses on on-demand video streaming, so viewers who prefer live TV shows and those who would also like to watch sports and non-Disney content may turn away from the platform. So if you’re looking for the best Disney+ alternatives right now, either because you want more or less like it, check out our list below.
