PTV announced that it has reached a memorandum of agreement and signed a partnership with The Walt Disney Company (Southeast Asia) Pte. Limited (Disney Networks Group Asia Pacific/Disney Branded Television) as the new content provider to re–brand and air shows and cartoons from Disney–owned properties via its new programming block entitled Disney+ on PTV as a free–to–air television block, which became a tie–up of PTV nationwide on December 29, 2021 to collaborate on local productions, events, marketing and advertising sales. (three months after Disney Channel, including Disney Junior and most of its Fox channels officially closed in the rest of Asia; and Hong Kong on 1 October 2021).

Programming block (2022–present)[]

A block time TV version of Disney+ had its initial soft launch in January 2, 2022, via PTV, a day after the start of the new year, with the airing of the Tagalog dub Malaysian fantasy sitcom Wizards of Warna Walk. It also first aired a selection of cartoons and animate shows starting January 7, 2022 as a weekend morning programming block.

To improve ratings and allowing the regain of advertisers' support aside from its direct-to-consumer services, Disney+ programming block on PTV channel 4 and its provincial stations eventually relaunched once more and expanded its airtime on November 17, 2022, the same day where Disney+ launched in the Philippines (with partners Globe Telecom and GCash by Alipay), including the launch of two weekend movie blocks (Walt Disney Studios): Disney Box Office, which features older and new films produced and distributed by Disney-owned film studios (Walt Disney Pictures, Walt Disney Animation Studios, Disneytoon Studios, Pixar, Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm, Touchstone Pictures, 20th Century Animation, 20th Century Studios), which were released from the past and present every Friday afternoon and weekend morning; and Sunday Mega Hits, which features films produced and distributed by 20th Century Studios and Searchlight Pictures, every Sunday evening. Snowdrop, Grid and Rookie Cops were the first three Korean dramas under the Star brand; as well as Hawkeye, The Mandalorian and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier were the first three American series that aired under the Disney+ brand on PTV.

With the launch, the first program to air on Disney+ @ PTV was A Night of Wonder with Disney+, a 39-minute special hosted by Catriona Gray and Robi Domingo, which streamed at 8pm on Disney+, PTV and social media platforms (Facebook, YouTube and TikTok).

Since its launch, it also classified its two official advertising slogans: "Imagine More" for streaming platform and "Streaming Na, TV Pa!" for PTV.

On June 5, 2023, The Walt Disney Company (Southeast Asia), the Presidential Communications Office and PTV announced a full-time content/blocktime agreement after more a year and five months of partnership agreement to provide more programs via free-to-air television for the weekday and weekend slots.

From July 8 to October 15, 2023, Disney+ @ PTV will air a trivia called 100 Days of Disney 100 Years.
