Its programming lineup included Marvel and Star Wars shows, reruns of programs previously aired on Disney Channel and certain action series. It also aired some pre-school related programs from Disney Junior.
After the ban of Disney Channel India and Disney XD India in Bangladesh due to broadcasting in Hindi language and heavy localisation of the Indian feeds,[6] Disney XD Asia was made available on few digital cable platforms there in 2016.
Due to Astro's Refreshed Kids Pack on 14 December 2020 and the launch of Disney+ Hotstar on 1 June 2021, the channel, along with Disney Junior, ceased broadcasting on Astro and Astro-owned TV providers (including NJOI and Kristal-Astro). Therefore, there's the only impact that The Walt Disney Company will be shutting down Disney XD in Southeast Asia on the same date and time by following the review of Disney's business in the region, just before Astro have already confirmed with this statement before Astro shutting down both Disney Channel and Disney Junior on the same date and time. However, The Walt Disney Company didn't announce that Astro will be shutting down Disney Channel and Disney Junior on New Year's Day 2021 at midnight.
On 28 February 2019, the Malaysian feed of Disney XD Asia was merged into the main feed, with timings on promos now saying MAL/PHIL instead of SIN/PHIL. Astro, the sole operator in Malaysia that formerly carried Disney Channels made Disney XD an HD only channel from 1 March 2019 and the SD version on Disney XD (617) ceased broadcasting from the Astro list on 14 March 2019.
Disney XD was not distributed to Hong Kong and Vietnam, and therefore selected programs from Disney XD was available on Disney Channel Asia.
Because of a review of Disney's business in the region and after more than 8 years of broadcasting, Disney XD ceased operations at 1:10am on 1 January 2021, simultaneously with the discontinuation of Scandinavian version of the channel.[8] Disney XD's content were moved to Disney Channel (which already ceased transmission in Malaysia and Singapore but continued to broadcast in other Southeast Asian countries until its shutdown on 1 October 2021), Disney+ Hotstar (in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand) and Disney+ (in Singapore and the Philippines).[5] The last programme to air on the channel was an episode of Counterfeit Cat. After the episode ended, it shows an episode of The Tiniest Man in the World. Following that, some of the promos, commercials, bumpers are shown here, and there are a lot of Blam! clips. After that, it officially cuts to a black screen.
In the Philippines, it showed a test card at 2:15 am. The channel space was replaced by Metro Channel on January 4, 2021 on Cignal.
In Malaysia, it showed a grey message at 12:05 am while airing Counterfeit Cat. The channel space was replaced by TA-DAA! (now DreamWorks Channel since February 1, 2023) on March 15, 2021 on Astro.
