How to watch WandaVision on Disney Plus
Disney Plus is the only place to watch WandaVision, with the two-episode premiere dropping on Friday January 15 at midnight Pacific time in the US. That’s 8am UK time, so there’s a good chance for you to watch at least one episode before going to work.
However, you will need a Disney Plus subscription in order to tune in. There are no longer any free trials to enjoy, so unless you’re an existing subscriber, you’ll need to pay up. Disney Plus is £5.99 a month, or £59.99 a year.
