The Disney Channel Games is an olympic-based miniseries that has aired in the summer months since 2006. The Disney Channel Games have recently finished their second year, and is produced by 7"8"9 Entertainment, located in Hollywood, California. It was confirmed on a commercial break during Disney Channel's Happy U Year Celebration, which featured a look back at the 2007 Disney Channel Games, that the games will return in 2008.

Premise

This takeoff on Battle of the Network Stars, takes Disney Channel stars and divides them into four teams (originally 3 in the 2006 games). 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, (five weeks as of 2008) the winning team is announced.

The Disney Channel Games airs on Saturday nights from 8pm-10pm ET/PT 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.
