It was launched on 17 April 1998 as a pay television channel, aimed for children to teenagers. In 2001, Disney launched a timeshift channel, 'Disney Channel +1', broadcasts the same programming one hour late. And on 1 July 2008, it was launched and replaced Fly Music on Spanish digital terrestrial television, thus becoming the first Disney Channel that broadcasts in free TV, a practice that would be replicated in other markets in the following years.

An HD feed of the channel is available and exclusive to pay TV operators, while on DTT it only broadcasts at a standard definition of 576i.
