Sky TV customers are in for a pleasant surprise as some are now receiving a complimentary upgrade that grants them full access to the Disney+ subscription service. This upgrade is part of the newly enhanced Sky Ultimate plan, offering access to popular content from Pixar, Star Wars, Disney, and Marvel at no extra cost.
In addition to Disney+, Sky is set to introduce HBO Max Basic and Hayu to its lineup. The integration of Disney+ content across Sky Glass, Sky Stream, and Sky Q platforms will enhance user experience by seamlessly incorporating it into various features like Continue Watching, search, and voice control.
Furthermore, Sky Cinema subscribers will have access to a dedicated Disney+ Cinema channel. For those not yet subscribed to Sky, the new Sky Ultimate package is available across the UK starting at £24 per month.
The £24 plan includes Netflix Standard with Ads, Disney+ Standard with Ads, HBO Max Basic with Ads (launching on March 26 in the UK & Ireland), Hayu (full access from July), and over 130 Sky channels. Sophia Ahmad, Sky’s Chief Consumer Officer, emphasized that this update aims to unify Sky, Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, and Hayu under one subscription, making it easier for viewers to navigate their favorite shows seamlessly.
Millions of existing customers will benefit from the expanded lineup at no extra cost, while NOW Entertainment users will receive HBO Max within the app without additional charges. Sky’s initiative to streamline streaming services and provide a more integrated viewing experience continues with these latest changes.
