Things to Consider in 2025
Disney+ no longer provides a free trial in Australia as of May 2025. Since its discontinuation in 2020, the 7-day trial has not been offered again. This policy is in effect everywhere, including in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada.
Why Was the Free Trial Removed?
Disney+ initially offered free trials to attract new subscribers. However, with a growing subscriber base and a robust content library, Disney discontinued the free trial to focus on other promotional strategies .GamesRadar+
