How to Install the Disney Plus Addon on Kodi (2026 Updated Guide)

If you’re looking for the most efficient way to install Disney Plus on Kodi in 2026, you’ve come to the right place. Integrating the streaming giant directly into your media center is a game-changer, allowing you to unify all your content into a single, clean interface. For those of us who use Kodi as the core of our home entertainment, this is a massive win. This tutorial, tested and fully updated for the latest Kodi 22 “Piers” release, will walk you through every step. Let’s be clear upfront: you absolutely need an active Disney+ subscription to use this addon. This guide does not provide a way to access content for free.

The addon we’re installing supports multiple languages, full subtitle integration, and video resolution selection, ensuring you can stream in the highest quality your device and internet connection can handle.

Pre-Installation Checklist

Before we dive in, let’s make sure you have everything ready for a smooth installation:

• Kodi 21 Omega or newer: I strongly recommend running the latest stable version, which is currently Kodi 22 “Piers”.
• Active Disney+ Subscription: You’ll need your login credentials (email and password) handy.
• Unknown Sources Enabled: To install third-party repositories, this option must be toggled on. If you’re not sure how, the process is often covered in setup guides like our tutorial on how to install Kodi on a Fire Stick.
• VPN (Optional but Highly Recommended): If you’re in a region where Disney+ isn’t available or you want to tap into the content library of another country, a reliable VPN is essential. It’s also a critical tool for protecting your online privacy.

Step-by-Step: Installing the Disney+ Addon on Kodi

The process is straightforward: we’ll add an external source, install a repository from it, and then install the video addon itself. In my 2026 testing, the SlyGuy repository remains the most reliable and up-to-date option available.

Step 1: Add the SlyGuy Repository Source

1. Launch Kodi on your device.
2. Navigate to Settings (the gear icon on the main menu).
3. Select File manager.
4. Click on Add source.
5. In the top field where it says <None>, enter the following URL exactly as shown:

http://k.slyguy.xyz/

6. In the bottom field, give the media source a name you’ll recognize, like SlyGuy.
7. Click OK to confirm.

Step 2: Install the Repository from the Zip File

1. Head back to the Settings menu and select Add-ons.
2. Choose the Install from zip file option.
3. If you see a warning about installing from unknown sources, just confirm you have it enabled.
4. Find and select the source you just added (SlyGuy).
5. Inside, click on the file named repository.slyguy.zip.
6. Wait a few moments until you see the “Add-on installed” notification pop up in the top-right corner.

Step 3: Install the Disney+ Addon from the Repository

1. From the same Add-ons menu, now select Install from repository.
2. Find and enter the SlyGuy Repository.
3. Navigate to the Video add-ons section.
4. Scroll through the list until you find Disney+ and select it.
5. Hit the Install button.
6. Kodi will show you a list of dependencies that will be installed alongside the addon. Just click OK to approve.
7. Wait for the process to complete and for the “Add-on installed” notification to appear.

Step 4: Initial Setup and Login

1. Return to the Kodi main menu and go to the Add-ons section.
2. Open the Disney+ addon from the Video add-ons category.
3. The first time you launch it, you’ll be prompted to sign in. Select Login and enter the email and password for your Disney+ account.
4. After your credentials are validated, you’ll be asked to select your user profile.
5. Once selected, you’ll see a “Profile Activated” notification, and you’ll have full access to the entire Disney+ library, right from inside Kodi.

That’s it! You’ve successfully configured Kodi for native Disney+ streaming.

Troubleshooting Common Errors (2026 Fixes)

Even with a perfect guide, things can go wrong. Here’s how to solve the most common Disney+ addon errors.

Login Failed or “Check login information” Error

This is the number one issue users face. If you’re 100% sure your password is correct, the problem is usually caused by changes to the Disney+ API or two-factor authentication (2FA) issues.

• Double-Check Your Password: Try logging into the official Disney+ website in a browser to rule out a simple typo.
• Update Everything: Make sure you have the latest version of the addon AND the SlyGuy repository. Developers are usually quick to patch login issues.
• Check Inputstream Adaptive: This crucial component handles the DRM. Ensure it’s up to date by going to Add-ons -> My add-ons -> VideoPlayer InputStream -> InputStream Adaptive and checking for updates.

Dependency Error or “Installation Failed”

Sometimes the installation fails because Kodi is missing a required component (a dependency).
– Clear Cache: Go into Kodi’s settings and clear the cache. Corrupted data can sometimes cause conflicts.
– Update Kodi: If you’re on a very old version, some dependencies might not be compatible. Ensure you’re running at least Kodi 21, preferably 22.
– Repo is Down: If you see a “could not connect to source” error, the repository server might be temporarily offline. Give it a few hours and try again.

Geo-Blocked or “Content Not Available” Error

This happens when you try to access content that’s restricted to a specific country. The solution is simple: use a quality VPN. Fire it up, connect to a server in the country whose library you want to watch, and then restart the addon in Kodi.

Are There Any Alternatives to the SlyGuy Addon?

While the SlyGuy addon is the gold standard, it’s always smart to know what else is out there. As of 2026, there isn’t another direct alternative that is as robust or well-maintained for Disney+.

My recommendation is to keep an eye on the official Kodi forums and other community hubs. The Kodi world moves fast, and while SlyGuy is the undisputed king today, it’s always good to know where to look if things change.
