Disney XD is a children's television channel brand owned by the Disney Kids & Family and Disney Entertainment divisions of the Walt Disney Company, that launched in the United States on February 13, 2009, as the merge result of two blocks Toon Disney and Jetix, both of which previously had individual international presence.
Since 2019, Disney XD has been discontinued or closed down globally (except in Poland and locally in the United States) to prioritize Disney Channel moving its content to its respective channels and also by the launches of Disney+ in those regions (excluding Canada, where its closure occurred due to financial pressure at Corus Entertainment).
