This article is for both Disney Channel Games 2006 and Disney Channel Games 2007.

The Disney Channel Games is an olympic-based miniseries that has aired in the summer months since 2006. The Disney Channel Games are currently in their second year.

Premise

The miniseries takes Disney Channel stars and divides them into four teams. Each week, selected members of each team compete against each other in obstacles and games. Depending on how well each team does, a certain number of points will be added to each team's score. 1st 200, 2nd 150, 3rd 100,4th 75. While this is the primary way teams get points, fans can also play selected games on Disney Channel's official website and submit the points they earn to their favorite team. The team with the most points submitted in is given bonus points. Also, one week after each event, the Most Valuable Player MVP (who is voted upon by viewers online) is announced. After eight weeks of competition, the winning team is announced, as well as the winning individual.

The Disney Channel Games airs on Saturday nights from 8pm-10pm on Disney Channel during the summer seasons. The competitions are shown in between new episodes of four Disney Channel shows.

Disney Channel Games 2006

The Disney Channel Games 2006 were the first annual competitions. They began airing in the US on June 10, 2006, along with the So Hot Summer! 2006. It was later aired in the UK November 3, 2006, Australia on January 5, 2007, and in Latin America on February 26, 2007. It was recently aired in Canada on the Family Channel on June 19, 2007.

There were three teams: the Red Team, the Blue Team, and the Green Team. The stars on the teams were from various Disney Channel Original Series and the Disney Channel Original Movies that would air that summer. Each member of the team was given a nickname and Brenda Song, Ashley Tisdale, and Zac Efron acted as team captains. The events were hosted by Brian Stepanek and Phill Lewis (respectively, Arwin and Mr. Moseby from The Suite Life of Zack and Cody). Characters and their voices from the animated series acted as studio hosts. These included Christy Carlson Romano(Kim Possible), John DiMaggio(Dr. Drakken and Fu Dog), Dante Basco(Jake Long), J.P.

Disney Channel Games 2007

The Second Annual Disney Channel Games are currently underway. As advertised, these have proven to be the biggest of them all. Hosted at Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, stars from other nations' Disney Channels have joined the teams, making room for the new Yellow Team. In addition, each team is playing for a charity (including Boys & Girls Club, UNICEF, Make-a-Wish Foundation and Starlight Starbright Foundation).

Contestants from the first edition who did not return for the second include Zac Efron, Vanessa Anne Hudgens, Kay Panabaker, and Anneliese van der Pol. Several new additions from new Disney Channel Original Series, Disney Channel Original Movies, and across the globe have joined the teams. Each team member did not receive a nickname, although Brenda Song remained a captain, Dylan Sprouse, Kyle Massey, and Corbin Bleu took over for the other teams. Phill Lewis and Brian Stepanek returned as hosts while Cory in the House's Madison Pettis served as a guest judge on one occasion. Several animated characters are also seen in the audience of the games. They include Todd and Riley, Jake Long, Fu Dog, Kim Possible and cheerleaders, and Kuzco, among several others.

The opening ceremonies for the 2007 Games premiered on June 15, 2007 with concert performances by Hannah Montana and Corbin Bleu. The Cheetah Girls, Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus are expected to perform in the closing ceremonies, which will air in August.
