Watch Star+ 🇧🇷 Brazil from 🇦🇺 Australia
Star+ no longer exists as a separate app in Brazil: it merged into Disney+ in mid-2024. Its sports (ESPN) and general entertainment catalog moved into Disney+ plans. Australia to Brazil is one of the longest routes on the internet: 300–350 ms is normal. Streaming still works fine — start the stream a minute early to build buffer.
What Star+ (agora Disney+) carries — and how the block works
What used to be Star+ — ESPN live sport, adult-oriented series and movies — now lives in Disney+ Brazil under the plan that includes ESPN.
You need a Brazilian Disney+ subscription tier with ESPN for the live sport. The Brazilian catalog and BR live channels require a Brazilian IP to stream.
