What is the login/begin code? When you open Disney+ on a TV or streaming device, it shows an 8-digit code on screen. You enter this code at disneyplus.com/begin on your phone or computer to activate your account on that device — no password typing on your TV needed.
Launch the Disney+ app on your smart TV, Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, PlayStation, or Xbox. If you don't have it, download it from your device's app store first.
On the login screen, select Log In. You'll see options for logging in. Choose "Use a Sign-In Code" or "Enter Code" to proceed.
A unique 8-digit activation code will appear on your TV screen. This code is time-limited (usually expires in 15 minutes), so proceed quickly. Write it down or keep your TV visible.
On your smartphone, tablet, or computer browser, open a new tab and navigate to disneyplus.com/begin. Make sure you're logged into your Disney+ account.
If you aren't already logged in, enter your Disney+ email and password. If you're new, create an account and choose a subscription plan before activating.
A code entry screen will appear. Type in the 8-digit code exactly as shown on your TV screen. Double-check each digit before pressing Continue.
After entering the code, you'll see a confirmation screen. Tap Confirm to link your Disney+ account to the device. Your TV will automatically refresh.
Your TV will automatically load Disney+ and display the profile selection screen. Choose your profile (or create one) and start streaming your favourite shows and movies!
Go back on your TV and select "Get New Code" — a fresh 8-digit code will be generated instantly.
Check for lookalike characters (0 vs O, 1 vs I). Enter the code carefully — it's case-insensitive.
Check your TV's internet connection. Try closing and reopening the Disney+ app after confirming the code online.
You can use any browser on your phone — Chrome, Safari, or Firefox — to visit disneyplus.com/begin.
No. Each code is unique to one device. You'll need to repeat the process for each TV or streaming device you want to activate.
Yes. You must have an active Disney+ subscription before you can activate a device. If you don't have one, sign up at disneyplus.com first, then follow these steps.
Smart TVs (Samsung, LG, Sony), Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, PlayStation, and Xbox all support activation via code.
The 8-digit code typically expires in 15 minutes. If it expires, simply go back on your TV to generate a new one.
