DIRECTV MyKids Genre Pack: 14 Family Channels Plus Disney+ in One Plan

Between preschool favorites, cartoon marathons and teen shows, keeping everyone in the house happy can mean juggling a pile of apps and subscriptions. DIRECTV's MyKids Genre Pack is built to simplify that. It puts 14 live kids and family channels in one streaming lineup and adds a Disney+ subscription at no extra charge, all for one monthly price with no annual contract.

Here is exactly what MyKids includes, what it costs, how streaming works around the house and on the go, and a few ways families stretch it further.

What is the MyKids Genre Pack?

DIRECTV Genre Packs are themed streaming plans. Instead of paying for a huge bundle, you choose the category your household actually watches. MyKids is one of five base Genre Packs, alongside MyEntertainment, MySports, MyNews and MiEspañol. You can add it to a new or existing DIRECTV plan and change your lineup later as your family's needs shift.

MyKids channel lineup

MyKids covers everything from baby and preschool programming to shows aimed at older kids and teens:

  • BabyFirst
  • Boomerang
  • Cartoon Network
  • Discovery Family Channel
  • Disney Channel
  • Disney Jr.
  • Disney XD
  • DIRECTV Kids Mix
  • LooLoo Kids TV
  • MeTV Toons
  • Nick Jr.
  • Nickelodeon
  • Nicktoons
  • TeenNick

Disney+ is included

MyKids comes with a Disney+ subscription as part of the price. That opens up on-demand movies and series from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic and Disney Junior, which pairs nicely with the live channels when the kids want to pick their own show.

A few terms to know: the Disney+ offer is for new users, one per account, and the account holder must be 18 or older. It does not replace a Disney+ subscription you already pay for separately, so if you have one, check how you want to handle it before you sign up.

MyKids price, free trial and contract

  • Regular price: $20.99 per month plus tax
  • Free trial: five days for new customers
  • Contract: none; renews monthly until you cancel

After the trial, MyKids renews automatically at the regular monthly rate. If you are testing it out, mark the trial end date on your calendar. DIRECTV sometimes runs promotional pricing on Genre Packs, so check the current offer when you order.

Watch at home and on the go

MyKids is built for households where more than one person wants the TV at the same time:

  • Unlimited in-home streams on compatible devices connected to your home Wi-Fi
  • Up to three streams at once over cellular data
  • Watch on TVs through supported streaming devices and smart TVs, or on tablets and phones with the DIRECTV app

That flexibility is a big deal for road trips, sports practices and those evenings when two kids want two different shows in two different rooms. For smooth streaming on several screens at once, make sure your home internet can keep up. Our speed test is a quick way to check.

Add movies with MyCinema

Want more family movie nights? You can add the MyCinema Mini Pack to MyKids for $10.99 per month. It brings in movie-focused channels including Family Movie Classics, Great American Family, GRIT, INSP, LMN, ShortsTV, Sony Movies, Smithsonian, TCM and Shudder. Parents may want to review that lineup, since a few of those channels are aimed at adults.

Stack Netflix on top

MyKids also qualifies for DIRECTV's current Netflix promotion. New customers who choose any Genre Pack, including MyKids, and add a DIRECTV Gemini device (an additional $10 per month) can get 12 months of Netflix Standard with Ads at no extra cost. After that year, Netflix renews at its regular price unless you cancel. See our full guide on how to get Netflix free on DIRECTV.

Free channels come along too

Every DIRECTV customer also gets access to MyFree DIRECTV, a lineup of free ad-supported channels. That means extra options for the grown-ups after bedtime, at no added cost. Learn more in our MyFree DIRECTV guide.

Is MyKids right for your family?

MyKids tends to be a great fit if:

  • Your household watches mostly kids and family programming
  • You want Disney+ without a separate bill
  • You need multiple streams for different rooms or devices
  • You want a low monthly price and no contract

If the adults in the house want local channels, sports or news too, you can pair MyKids with another Genre Pack or step up to a Signature package. Compare DIRECTV options at your address or call American TV at 1-855-690-9884 and we will help you build the right lineup.
