Original run (2011–2015) A Canadian version of Disney XD was originally launched by
Astral Media on June 1, 2011, as a spin-off of
Family Channel, which had historically held rights to the programming of
Disney Channel and its spin-off brands. After
Bell Media acquired Astral in 2013, the company sold Disney XD along with its sister channels (Family Channel and the French and English versions of
Disney Junior) to
DHX Media. On April 16, 2015,
Corus Entertainment announced that it had reached an agreement to acquire the Canadian rights to
Disney Channel programming and brands. The Disney XD-branded channel owned by DHX was renamed Family Chrgd on October 9, 2015, then again to
WildBrainTV on March 1, 2022. It closed on October 22, 2025.
Relaunch and second closure (2015–2025) The new Corus-owned Disney XD channel launched on December 1, 2015, as an
exempt discretionary service. On September 1, 2017, the channel obtained a
discretionary service licence from the
CRTC. Through Corus Entertainment's acquisition of
Shaw Media, Disney XD and its sister networks became co-owned with the former Shaw Media channels on April 1, 2016. On December 1, 2022, Disney XD was added to
StackTV, along with
Disney Channel and
Disney Junior. On July 10, 2025, Corus Entertainment announced that they would close Disney XD alongside three other Disney-licensed channels (
La Chaîne Disney,
Disney Jr. and
ABC Spark), as well as the unrelated
Nickelodeon, at midnight permanently on September 1, 2025, due to financial pressure at the company, leaving the
Polish version as the only remaining Disney XD-branded channel outside of the United States. Despite the closure, Corus announced that it would continue to air the channel's content on
Disney Channel. On August 12, 2025, the channel's website begin notifying viewers about the closure. On August 28, 2025, the website was redirected to the Disney Channel site. The last program to air on the channel ahead of its midnight closure was the ''
Milo Murphy's Law'' episode "Picture Day / Agee Ientee Diogee", after which the channel switched to a
slate stating "This channel is no longer available". ==See also==
