The show had various stars from Disney Channel and its international iterations competing for charity as team-based contestants. The Games were filmed at Disney's Wide World of Sports in Orlando.^[4]

Disney Channel Games were not aired after 2008, but a similar series called Disney's Friends for Change Games aired in 2011.

The Disney Channel Games began as a series of shorts^{[citation needed]} that aired during summer 2006. A second edition followed in summer 2007, with the final edition of the series airing in summer 2008.

A Disney spokesperson confirmed in February 2009 that the Disney Channel Games would not be held that year due to actor availability and Disney's "focusing on the launch of a new pro-social initiative with Disney Channel and Disney XD stars".^[5]^[6] The result was Disney's Friends for Change initiative.^[7] The series also did not air in 2010.^[8]
