If you’re trying to play a movie or box set on Disney+ and you see a Disney+ error code 73 on your screen, you should check your connection. There are several reasons for this error message, but the most common cause is a VPN connection blocked by Disney+.

Disney+ is not alone in this, as all major streaming services actively try to block VPN connections to prevent streaming content not available in your area. However, VPNs aren’t the only reason. So if you see a Disney+ 73 error code that you can’t fix, here’s what you need to do to fix the problem.

What causes a Disney+ 73 error code?

Disney Plus error code 73 is caused by a mismatch between your location and the areas in which the service is available. When you try to stream with Disney Plus, the service first checks your location. If it thinks you are in an area where Disney Plus is not available, an error code 73 is sent.

The main reason for this error code is to use a VPN to give the impression that you are in a location other than your actual location. If you live in a region where Disney Plus is available but you are using a VPN, error code 73 will be displayed.

This error will also be displayed if you are in a country with an unsupported system. It can also happen if there’s a problem with your Internet Service Provider or your phone’s location services, and Disney Plus either can’t determine your location or thinks you’re where you’re not.
