Disney+ and Vidio bundle Marvel and Premier League football in Indonesia

One plan for Marvel and the Premier League

The bundle merges two catalogues that rarely sit together. Disney's side carries Marvel and Star Wars films, including Deadpool & Wolverine and The Mandalorian and Grogu [4]. FX's Shogun and The Bear are there too, along with Korean series Moving and A Shop for Killers and Asia Pacific originals, according to Variety [4]. Vidio's side carries the English Premier League, the UEFA Champions League, Indonesia's BRI Super League, live TV and Vidio originals [1][3]. Subscribers also get ESPN programming on Disney+, covering live coverage, documentaries and studio shows [4]. Deadline reported that Disney's global shows such as Only Murders in the Building sit in the same plan as Vidio's local football rights [1]. Vidio says it has produced more than 110 original series, the local catalogue the bundle sets beside Disney's films and franchises [3].

The companies announced the deal on 1 October without pricing [3]. Media Playnews reported a figure of 129,000 rupiah a month that day [6]. Deadline called it the first such collaboration in Indonesia for Disney [1]. Vidio's own t-Survey 2025 found that 77% of the platform's connected TV audience watches in groups of at least three family members [4]. The pitch is aimed at living rooms, not phones. The name spells out the stack: Vidio Ultimate All Screen and the Disney+ standard tier go into one plan [1].

Why the subscriber numbers decide this

Media Partners Asia ranks Vidio first among Indonesian streaming platforms for viewership for the past four years [1][3]. Media Playnews puts Vidio at 5 million subscribers [6].

The same report, citing Media Partners Asia data, places Disney+ at No. 4 in Indonesia, behind Netflix at No. 2 and Viu at No. 3 [6]. Disney+ reported 72.4 million international paid subscribers at its final official public subscriber disclosure [6]. That is a global figure, not an Indonesia one. LaughingPlace framed the tie-up as a route into homes that might not otherwise consider Disney+ [2]. Disney has described the local-partner route as a way to expand reach by working with established players rather than building market by market [1].

Vidio's 5 million subscribers sit inside Disney+'s 72.4 million international base [6]. The two figures measure different things: one country against a global total.

The sampler and the return leg

Every active Vidio subscriber gets a Taste of Disney+ collection, whether or not they take the bundle [3]. Access comes with any Vidio subscription [1]. It carries individual episodes of Flex X Cop Season 2, High Potential, Sofia the First and Grey's Anatomy [1][4]. The selection will be refreshed periodically, and The Hollywood Reporter describes it as a sampler intended to encourage subscribers to upgrade [3]. Variety reports the same intent, noting the episodes are instalments rather than full seasons [4]. The return leg is less settled. The companies are working on an arrangement that would give Disney+ subscribers a curated selection of Vidio originals and sinetron, the Indonesian TV soaps [3][4]. The partners said details of that component are still under discussion, and no timing has been given [3][4].

Disney's regional bundle playbook

Disney+ joined TVING and Wavve in a three-way subscription bundle in Korea in 2025, shortly after a dedicated TVING Collection launched on Disney+ Japan [4]. It has been bundled with Hulu Japan since 2023 [4]. In Korea the service also carries SPOTV's MLB coverage this season [4]. In Malaysia, Astro expanded its Disney+ distribution deal in July and agreed to supply local titles such as Ola Bola and Polis Evo [4]. TBS's international studio The Seven signed a multi-year pact in April to co-develop live-action dramas for the service [4]. Indonesia is the latest in that run [1]. The content side is expanding too. Disney plans to roughly triple Disney+'s annual output of international original series over three years, from around 60 to 70 shows this year [3]. The Hollywood Reporter says Asia Pacific is a big part of that drive [3].

Disney is also building on Korean hits Perfect Crown and Battle of Fates, while expanding its Japanese programming and adding more romance to its regional slate [3].

What is still open

The Hollywood Reporter said the partners did not disclose pricing for the bundle or overall financial terms [3]. Media Playnews reported 129,000 rupiah a month on 1 October [6]. The two accounts differ on what was disclosed: one outlet published a monthly figure, the other reported that no price was given [3][6]. What remains open is the reciprocal Vidio content on Disney+, which the companies say is still under discussion [3][4]. Tony Zameczkowski is Disney's senior vice president and general manager for direct-to-consumer in Asia Pacific. He said the deal is "part of our focus on accelerating collaborations to expand the reach, engagement and fandom of Disney+ in APAC" [3][4].

Sutanto Hartono is Vidio's chief executive. He said viewers want "greater choice and better value from their subscriptions" [1][3]. Vidio's four-year run at the top of the Indonesian viewership rankings and Disney+'s fourth place are the numbers the bundle starts from [1][6]. No launch date for the reciprocal component has been given [3][4].
