Roku devices that are compatible with Disney Plus

There are many such devices, but here’s a basic rule of thumb that works. Roku devices released since 2016 support Disney+, these are fourth-generation Roku devices, of course all later versions of Roku are compatible with Disney+. If your device supports 4K, it definitely supports Disney+.

Either way, if your device supports Disney plus, you will be able to install the app or add the channel, if your device does not support the channel, you will not be able to add it and will get an incompatibility message.
