Kuwait: Zain, Kuwait’s leading digital service provider, has teamed up with Disney+, the streaming service from The Walt Disney Company, to provide its customers with at least six months of streaming. The collaboration sees Zain become the first telecom operator in the MENA region to collaborate with the leading streaming platform.

The official announcement took place at an exclusive event at the Zain Innovation Campus (ZINC) in the company’s headquarters in Shuwaikh. It was attended by Meshal Mohammed, CCO of Zain Kuwait, Tamim Fares, Director of Disney+ MENA, as well as Zain and Disney+ teams.

Customers on select plans of Zain’s all-new home broadband MAX offerings can enjoy a complimentary Disney+ subscription for as long as the plan remains active, whilst existing customers on select home broadband and post-paid voice plans will be offered complimentary six-months access from Zain.

Eligible customers who redeem the offer will have access to thousands of films, series and exclusive Originals from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic, plus the latest movie blockbusters, smash hit TV series, and cult classics from the general entertainment world of Star. Additionally, the first 15,000 customers who redeem the offer will also receive a one-time discount code to receive 20% off of their purchases from The Disney Store by Alshaya in Kuwait (terms and conditions apply*). The region’s first-ever standalone Disney Store opened in November 2022 at the Avenues Mall.
