XYZ is the upcoming American cable and satellite tv channel owned by the Disney-ABC Television Group (a division of the Walt Disney Company). The channel would likely debut in 2021, but it is unknown if it'll replace FX and/or FXX or air as a late-night block on Disney Channel.

XYZ specializes in airing TV shows and movies from Disney that are more for mature audiences, similar to the veins of Adult Swim and classic MTV, except the mature audience oriented programming would mostly come from Hollywood Pictures, 20th Century Fox, Touchstone Pictures, ABC, ESPN, Marvel, and formerly owned Miramax and Dimension, and a possibility for XYZ to produce their own original programming, and sometimes acquiring mature-themed television shows from different countries. The channel would also occasionally air music videos.

Originally, Disney was planning to use XYZ as a new name for "ABC Family" in 2003, to be targeted more towards a hip audience. But Sadly, it was only a short-lived block on ABC Family, and it didn't last very long. Disney still has plans to launch XYZ as a channel, but this time for a more mature audience.
