Disney+ stopped letting thousands of people log in on Thursday night, June 18, 2026. Users reported being unable to log in, with error messages appearing on both mobile and desktop versions of the app. Reports on Downdetector’s Disney+ status page crossed 20,000 within minutes, and almost half of those reports pointed to the same login failure rather than a video or streaming problem.
The timing mattered for sports fans too. Disney+ also carries ESPN and Hulu programming, and the login trouble was already spreading as the evening wore on, including in the hour before the World Cup Group A match between Mexico and South Korea kicked off at 9 p.m. ET in Guadalajara. Below is a look at how the report count rose and fell in 15-minute intervals, built directly from the public outage data.

Report figures are drawn from publicly tracked, self-reported user data on Downdetector’s Disney+ status page, which compiles outage data from multiple public sources. Report counts reflect user submissions, not confirmed server-side incidents.
Disney+’s official help account on X told affected subscribers the team was looking into the login problem and asked for patience while a fix was put in place. Report numbers on Downdetector fell from a peak above 20,000 to under 1,000 within a few hours of the first spike, though Disney had not issued a fresh public update by the time reports tapered off. The figures used in this tracker came from Downdetector’s crowdsourced reporting system, which gathers user-submitted status reports rather than confirmed internal server logs.
