The new Disney+ ad tier is launches in Australia and New Zealand on Tuesday.
The plan will cost $9.99 per month and will sit alongside its existing Standard and Premium plans.
The new plan will offer access to Disney+ content, including TV shows, films, Originals and live ESPN sports, with advertising included. It will stream in full HD 1080p, allow two concurrent streams, and will not include downloads.
The existing Standard and Premium tiers will remain, with ad-free movies and series, subject to Disney’s note that ads may still appear in live and linear programming, sport, trailers, promotional content, sponsorship and similar placements.
“We’re excited to soon be launching an ad-supported Disney+ offering in Australia and New Zealand. This new plan will provide more choice, flexibility and value to subscribers. Also, for the first time, advertisers and partners will have the opportunity to connect with our general entertainment audiences who choose ads as part of the world-class films and TV series they enjoy from us,” Kylie Watson-Wheeler, The Walt Disney Company Australia and New Zealand senior vice president and managing director said previously.
The local Disney Advertising team exclusively supports advertising sales with ad packages in Australia and New Zealand for Disney+ and ESPN.
