Disney Junior is a Scandinavian television channel owned and operated by The Walt Disney Company Limited;[1] targeted for preschoolers targeting the Nordic countries. It does not screen advertising and is funded by subscriptions instead.

It was launched in 2006 on the Canal Digital and Viasat satellite platforms. Cable networks launched it later on. Com Hem, the largest cable network in Sweden, launched it on April 2, 2007. Before September 10, 2011, this channel was called Playhouse Disney, the last show as Playhouse Disney was Special Agent Oso at 6:30 PM.[2][3] In October 12, 2012, a Russian audio track was added. It currently time shifts with V Series from 6 AM to 7 PM. The network closed on Allente on 28 February 2023, along with the Russian-language audio track.[4] However, it remains in other providers. On the same day, the feed ceased broadcasting in the Baltics and was replaced by the CEMA feed of Disney Junior.
