Sky TV customers have received an exciting upgrade recently, gaining complimentary access to the Disney+ subscription service. This enhancement is part of the new Sky Ultimate plan, providing access to popular content from Pixar, Star Wars, Disney, and Marvel at no extra cost.
The upgraded package doesn’t stop at Disney+. Sky is set to introduce HBO Max Basic soon, followed by Hayu later this year. Integration across Sky Glass, Sky Stream, and Sky Q ensures seamless access to Disney+ content through features like Continue Watching, search, and voice control.
In addition, Sky Cinema subscribers will enjoy a dedicated Disney+ Cinema channel. For non-Sky customers, the Sky Ultimate package is now available to all UK households starting at £24 per month, offering a comprehensive entertainment package.
The £24 plan includes Netflix Standard with Ads, Disney+ Standard with Ads, HBO Max Basic with Ads (launching on 26 March), full access to Hayu from July, and over 130 Sky channels. Sophia Ahmad, Sky’s Chief Consumer Officer, emphasized the convenience of consolidating Sky, Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, and Hayu into one subscription for a more integrated viewing experience.
Existing customers will benefit from the expanded lineup at no additional cost, with NOW Entertainment users receiving HBO Max within the app at no extra charge. Sky’s aim is to streamline streaming services and provide viewers with a more cohesive viewing experience.
