Disney Plus, the new video streaming service from Disney, is available on a number of devices, including many smart TVs, Xbox One, PS4, iOS, Android, and Roku.

When you subscribe to Disney Plus, you get access to a huge library of legacy Disney content (both television and film) and modern franchises like Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar, and more. There's also original content like the new Star Wars series "The Mandalorian."

Here's everything you need to know to watch Disney Plus on Roku.
