Many television films have been produced for the U.S. cable network, Disney Channel, since the service's inception in 1983. In its early years, they were referred to as Disney Channel Premiere Films, and later Premears. From late 1997 onwards, such productions have been branded under the Disney Channel Original Movies (DCOM) banner.

Most hit films were subsequently released on VHS and DVD, especially more recent ones. However, many more in the DCOM library have never made it onto either format.

The highest-rated premiere for the brand came in August 2007, when High School Musical 2 set a record for basic cable with more than 17 million viewers. Other major DCOM franchises include The Cheetah Girls, Twitches, Halloweentown, and the Zenon trilogy.
