Disney+ is an American-based online streaming platform owned by Disney.

After Disney Branded Television made a deal with BBC Studios in 2022, Disney+ became the exclusive distributor of all upcoming episodes and seasons Doctor Who on television outside the UK and Ireland.[1] Episodes began airing on Disney+ outside the UK and Ireland starting with the worldwide premiere of the 2023 special The Star Beast.

This meant that new episodes would not be broadcast on traditional television (outside the region served by BBC One). This replaced, in part, longtime distribution contracts with BBC America[2] and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.[3]
