Best VPNs for Disney+ in 2026
Where these results come from: published tests by Safelyo, Top10VPN and vpnMentor, each credited and linked below. Our own spot checks: none yet. We run spot checks in the US only, so results for every other country come from other sites alone.
This page lists what other sites’ tests found for Disney+, country by country. It is written for readers who live in the US or the UK and watch their own Disney+ subscription there with a VPN switched on, so the only question for each country is whether the VPN’s servers in that country were blocked by Disney+ in that country. This page covers the US and the UK.
Which VPNs work with Disney+?

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | IPVanish | Recommended in the US and UK | Unlimited | 30 days (yearly and 2-year plans) | Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS, Android, iOS, Apple Vision Pro, Apple TV, Fire TV, NVIDIA SHIELD, onn 4K and routers |

The table holds only VPNs that meet our threshold in the US or the UK: two or more sources from the last twelve months, and the newest result of every one of them reports that Disney+ played. The order of the table is not a score: it follows how many countries a VPN meets the threshold in, and the facts in each row come from the provider’s own pages, with the date we checked them.
What do published tests show for Disney+?
Each country has its own section, because a VPN’s servers in one country say nothing about its servers in another. Every row below is one site’s own result, with its date and what that site says about its setup. VPNs with only one published test, or with results that conflict, are listed but not recommended.
In the US
Were each VPN's servers in the US blocked by Disney+ there? Every row is one source's own published result, credited and linked. Nothing is merged or averaged, and a result is only as current as its date.
RecommendedAt least two sources from the last 12 months, and the newest result of every one of them is a pass.

How do you watch Disney+ with a VPN?
- Subscribe to a VPN from the table and install its app on the device you watch on. On a PC, our guide to the best VPNs for Windows compares the Windows apps.
- Connect to a server in the country you live in, where your Disney+ account is registered.
- Open Disney+, sign in to your own account and play a title.
- If Disney+ shows a location error, switch to another server in your country and restart the app. If it still fails, turn the VPN off while you watch. Our Disney+ troubleshooting guide goes through the fixes in order.
Does Disney+ allow VPNs?
Read the service’s terms first. This guide is about using a VPN in the country you live in, with your own subscription. It does not cover reaching titles the service offers elsewhere, a VPN does not replace the subscription, and we do not promise that the service will play.
Disney+‘s help center explains the location error “This content isn’t available to watch in your current location.” It lists “Using a VPN or IP anonymizer” as one cause, and the fix it gives is to turn the VPN off and restart the app.
Error codes and their explanations as published by Disney+ Help Center (opens in a new tab) (help.disneyplus.com/article/disneyplus-err…), read on .
FAQ
What is the best VPN for Disney+?
On the published tests listed above, IPVanish is the only VPN that meets our threshold in both the US and the UK. ExpressVPN qualifies in the US, and CyberGhost and Proton VPN in the UK, so the best one for you depends on where you live. These results come from other sites’ tests and can change when a newer one comes in.
Can you watch Disney+ with a free VPN?
Our threshold is built on the tests listed above, and a free plan is not among our picks. A paid plan with a refund period lets you check for yourself.
Why does Disney+ not work with your VPN?
Disney+ has probably linked the server’s IP address to a VPN or IP anonymizer. Try another server in the country you live in, restart the app, and ask the VPN’s support which servers work. Disney+‘s help page on its location error lists the steps on its side.
Is it legal to watch Disney+ with a VPN?
Using a VPN is legal in most countries, but Disney+ can restrict it in its terms. This is general information, not legal advice.
Why are NordVPN, Surfshark and the others not among the picks?
In the countries where they appear, each has only one published test, so they are listed but not recommended. They may become picks once a second source publishes a test.
How do we decide which VPNs to recommend for a streaming service?
We count published tests from the last twelve months, separately for each country, and one of our own spot checks counts as one source. A VPN needs at least two sources whose newest results all report a pass, and success rates count toward no group.
