The launch has sparked interest across the continent with people wondering when the service is set to be available in their specific countries.

A Disney Africa spokesperson has told Techish that there’s planned expansion to more African markets. Starting June 8th, Disney+ will be available in the following African countries:

Algeria
Egypt
Libya
Morocco and
Tunisia

There’s no sub-Saharan country on the list. The spokesperson also said, “We have nothing else to confirm at this time, but plan to expand to additional countries in the future.” So the rest of Africa will have to wait a little more to access Disney+.
