Sky has unveiled an exciting new update that is sure to catch attention. The television provider has announced a compelling subscription offering that combines several popular streaming services at a reduced monthly rate. Priced at just £24 per month, both current and new customers will soon have access to Disney+, Netflix, Hayu, and the upcoming HBO Max app, set to debut next month.
According to Sky, this bundle provides excellent value, as it includes approximately £20 worth of streaming apps for a lower cost. Considering Sky’s current basic plan is priced at £15 per month, the additional content effectively comes at only an extra £9.
Moreover, subscribers to the Ultimate TV plan will receive access to over 130 channels, including Sky Comedy, Sky Documentaries, Sky Crime, Sky History, and more.
In addition to the above, Sky Cinema users will benefit from a dedicated Disney movie channel integrated directly into the planner. This feature enables viewers to enjoy Disney blockbusters without needing to open the Disney+ app.
Existing Disney+ subscribers who sign up through Sky can transfer their current plan, whether Standard or Premium, while retaining their profiles and watch history.
Sky has confirmed that all supported apps will be easily accessible from the homepage, with seamless integration for user convenience. This means users can search for shows and movies by voice command and save them to a Playlist for later viewing.
The new Sky Ultimate plan will be available on Sky Glass, Sky Stream, and Sky Q platforms.
Sophia Ahmad, Sky’s Chief Consumer Officer, expressed that this update signifies a “new era” for Sky and NOW, uniting Sky, Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, and Hayu under one subscription. She highlighted the integrated viewing experience and exceptional value for customers, with HBO Max included at no extra charge for NOW Entertainment subscribers.
Sky emphasized that this move underscores its commitment to innovation, simplifying the process for viewers to access premium entertainment in a unified platform.

– Netflix Standard with Ads
– Disney+ Standard with Ads (effective from March, date pending)
– HBO Max Basic with Ads (launching in the UK & Ireland on 26th March)
