Disney XD is a cool TV channel in the Netherlands and Belgium. It's owned by The Walt Disney Company. This channel shows awesome cartoons and live-action shows for kids and teens, usually from ages 6 to 15.

The channel broadcasts for 14 hours each day. It shares its broadcast time with another Dutch TV station called Veronica. There used to be a special 24-hour version of Disney XD. This version was available through paid TV services in the Netherlands and Flanders, Belgium. However, that 24-hour channel stopped broadcasting on July 31, 2018. If you live in Wallonia, Belgium, or Luxembourg, you get to watch Disney XD France instead.

All the shows on Disney XD are in Dutch. They are either dubbed (meaning the original voices are replaced with Dutch ones) or made in Dutch from the start. The old 24-hour channel used to let you choose an English audio track for many shows. Also, Dutch subtitles were available through a special text service called teletekstpage 888.

Disney XD sometimes showed programs in English with Dutch subtitles. This usually happened in the evening and at night.
