If you missed the arena tour, Disney is bringing the "Worlds Collide" experience home. This concert special unites cast members from "Descendants: The Rise of Red" and "Z O M B I E S 4: Dawn of the Vampires" for a filmed show packed with mash-ups, big choreography, and behind-the-scenes moments.
Here’s how to watch "Descendants ZOMBIES Worlds Collide: Concert Special" online in the U.S. and around the world, plus how to stream securely while you travel.
Disney calls both "Descendants" and "ZOMBIES" its “crown jewel” franchises, and this concert special is the clearest sign yet that the company sees real crossover potential. It follows the huge success of "Descendants: The Rise of Red", which became Disney Branded Television’s biggest Disney+ movie premiere with 6.7 million views in its first three days.
The special also works as a time capsule for the 2025 “Worlds Collide Tour,” a sold-out 40-city run that won Best Family Tour in Billboard’s 2025 Year-End Touring Report and earned a Pollstar nomination for Family Event of the Year. Disney designed the show to feel like a full-on pop tour rather than a simple TV tie-in — and for many kids, it was their first-ever arena concert.
That is where Disney+ really comes in, especially for fans who could not get tickets, including those in the UK, Australia, and the Netherlands. You will get the big songs plus backstage footage, rehearsals, on-the-road moments, and a setlist that mixes fan-favorite throwbacks with newer stars like Kylie Cantrall and Freya Skye. The online buzz is still significant, with #Descendants previously reaching over 9 billion views on TikTok.
Here is how you can stream "Descendants ZOMBIES Worlds Collide: Concert Special" from anywhere in the world.
Watch 'Descendants ZOMBIES Worlds Collide: Concert Special' in the U.S.
U.S. viewers get the first chance to watch on Disney Channel.
The concert special premieres Thursday, February 19, at 7 p.m. ET and PT, with an encore on Friday, February 20, at 6:45 p.m. ET and PT.
If you would rather stream, it will be available on Disney+ the next day, Friday, February 20. The Disney+ release is designed to be more than a straightforward concert recording, with extra backstage access and never-before-seen footage that you will not get from the broadcast alone.
Watching from outside the U.S.? A VPN, such as NordVPN, can help you securely access your usual streaming services while traveling.
Watch 'Descendants ZOMBIES Worlds Collide: Concert Special' from anywhere
If you are traveling and find your streaming apps or TV services blocked, a VPN (virtual private network) can make it appear as if your device is still in your home country. That usually means you can keep using the same services you already pay for, even when you are abroad.
We have tested a lot of providers, and NordVPN stands out as a great all-around pick. It offers fast speeds, wide device support, and a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it out without being locked into a long-term plan.
NordVPN deal: 3 Months Extra FREE
Boasting lightning-fast speeds, great features, streaming power, and class-leading security, NordVPN is our #1 VPN.
✅ 3 months extra FREE!
✅ 75% off the usual price
✅ Free Amazon Gift Card (up to $50)
Watch your usual streaming service safely and securely with NordVPN.

In the U.K., Disney+ is the leading streaming platform. The concert special starts streaming on Friday, February 20.
There is no Disney Channel broadcast in the U.K. anymore — the channel closed in 2020 — so Disney+ is effectively your only option.
If you are away when it lands, a VPN like NordVPN can help you securely access your usual subscriptions while you are traveling.

In Canada, you can stream the concert special on Disney+ from Friday, February 20. You may also be able to catch it on Disney Channel Canada on Thursday, February 19, at 7 p.m. ET and PT through participating TV providers.
If you are away when it drops, a VPN like NordVPN can help you securely access your usual subscriptions while you are traveling.
Watch 'Descendants ZOMBIES Worlds Collide: Concert Special' in Australia
In Australia, the concert special will be available to stream on Disney+ from Friday, February 20. There are no linear Disney Channel broadcasts scheduled, so Disney+ is the easiest way to watch.
