Sky has unveiled an exciting new update that is set to make a big impact. The television provider has confirmed the launch of a compelling subscription package that combines some of the most popular streaming services globally at a reduced monthly rate. For just £24 per month, both new and existing customers will soon have access to Disney+, Netflix, Hayu, and the feature-rich HBO Max app, slated to debut next month.
According to Sky, this bundle offers great value for money, providing approximately £20 worth of streaming apps for a lower price. Considering that Sky’s basic plan currently costs £15 per month, the additional content effectively comes at just 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.
As an added bonus, Sky Cinema users will benefit from a dedicated Disney movie channel integrated into the planner. This feature allows them to watch 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—to Sky while retaining their profiles and viewing history.
Sky has confirmed that all supported apps will be easily accessible from the homepage, with seamless integration of content. Users will be able to discover shows and movies through voice search and save them to a Playlist for later viewing.
The new Sky Ultimate plan will be accessible across Sky Glass, Sky Stream, and Sky Q platforms.
Sophia Ahmad, Sky’s Chief Consumer Officer, stated that this update signifies a “new era” for Sky and NOW, bringing together Sky, Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, and Hayu under a single subscription. She mentioned that customers will enjoy an integrated viewing experience and exceptional value, with HBO Max included at no additional cost for NOW Entertainment customers.
Sky emphasizes that this move underlines its commitment to innovation, simplifying the process for viewers to indulge in premium entertainment all in one place.

– Netflix Standard with Ads
– Disney+ Standard with Ads – starting from March (exact date pending)
– HBO Max Basic with Ads – starting from its UK & Ireland launch on 26th March
