Disney XD was a TV channel for kids and teens in Scandinavia. It broadcast for 16 hours every day, from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. The channel started on September 12, 2009. It took the place of two older channels, Jetix and Toon Disney.

Disney XD was available in many countries. These included Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. You could watch it through different TV providers. For example, in Denmark, it was available through Boxer.
The channel was made for kids and teens aged 6 to 15 years old. Disney XD stopped broadcasting on December 31, 2020.
