Sky TV customers are in for a treat as the company has announced a free upgrade that includes access to the Disney+ subscription service at no extra cost. This upgrade is part of the new Sky Ultimate plan, offering popular content from Pixar, Star Wars, Disney, and Marvel.
In addition to Disney+, Sky will soon 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 the viewing experience with features like Continue Watching, search, and voice control.
Sky Cinema subscribers will also benefit from a dedicated Disney+ Cinema channel. For those not currently with Sky, the new Sky Ultimate package is available to all UK households starting at £24 per month.
The £24 plan includes Netflix Standard with Ads, Disney+ Standard with Ads, HBO Max Basic with Ads (launching on 26 March), Hayu (full access from July), and over 130 Sky channels. Sophia Ahmad, Sky’s Chief Consumer Officer, emphasized the goal of simplifying streaming by offering a seamless viewing experience across multiple platforms.
Existing customers will have access to the expanded lineup at no additional cost, while NOW Entertainment users will receive HBO Max within the app without extra charges. Sky aims to streamline streaming services and provide a more cohesive viewing experience for its customers.
