Disney XD

Disney XD is a digital cable and satellite channel that is run by the Walt Disney Company's Disney Media Networks as part of the Disney Channels Worldwide unit of their Disney–ABC Television Group which was founded in 2009 as a successor to their former channel Toon Disney.

Originally Disney XD's involvement with the Pokémon anime was airing it throughout Europe in places like the United Kingdom and Ireland, but starting in 2017, Disney XD will gain the full airing rights to the Pokémon anime in the United States and will be in charge of airing Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon, as well gaining the airing rights to the previous episodes and movies. The first two episodes of Sun and Moon will be shown as a part of a sneak peek alongside Pokémon The Movie - Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel on December 5 2016, but the full series run will begin once Pokémon the Series: XYZ completes its run on Cartoon Network.
