If you have Disney+ but need to watch it somewhere with no internet, then fear not. We’ve found a few handy solutions that let you download shows and movies on Disney+. Keep reading if you want to know more.
Disney+ costs £7.99 / US$10.99 per month for the ad-free version and $7.99 per month for the ad-supported plan (currently only available in the US). You can create an account on the Disney+ website.
With a subscription, you’ll be able to watch movies and movies in the MCU, classic shows like The Simpsons, and exclusive originals like Andor. If you want to learn more about setting up the streaming service on your home device, check out our guide to watching Disney+.

The size of each download will also be displayed here. An item is fully downloaded when the phone icon with a checkmark appears
There is no limit to the number of downloads you can have, provided you have enough storage on your mobile device. If you want to get rid of anything, just go to the ‘Downloads’ section, select your program or movie and click the checkmark to the right of it.
In my experience, logging out of the app also clears downloads – so keep that in mind if you plan on watching anything.
How to watch offline on your TV
The long and the short of it – you can’t. However, you box connect a device with downloaded movies and shows to your TV. For phones/tablets, you can use Google Chromecast, Apple AirPlay or other screen mirroring options to link your screens and play downloaded files.
How to watch offline on your computer or laptop
If you’d rather have your downloads on your computer, unfortunately you can’t do that directly with the website like you can with the app. The best way is to use your tablet/mobile and then stream to a bigger screen.
