Sky has unveiled an exciting new update that is set to shake up the streaming landscape. The popular television provider is rolling out a comprehensive subscription package that combines some of the most sought-after streaming services in the world at a reduced monthly rate. Priced at just £24 per month, both new and existing customers will soon have access to a bundle that includes Disney+, Netflix, Hayu, and the upcoming feature-rich HBO Max app.
According to Sky, this bundled offering delivers excellent value for money, with approximately £20 worth of streaming apps included for a fraction of the cost. Considering that Sky’s standard plan currently costs £15 per month, customers can enjoy the added content for only an extra £9.
Moreover, subscribers to the Ultimate TV plan will gain access to over 130 channels, including popular options like Sky Comedy, Sky Documentaries, Sky Crime, and Sky History.
As an added perk, Sky Cinema users will receive a dedicated Disney movie channel directly integrated into their planner, allowing them to enjoy Disney blockbusters without having to navigate to the Disney+ app.
Existing Disney+ subscribers who sign up through Sky can seamlessly transfer their current plan, whether Standard or Premium, while retaining their profiles and viewing history.
Sky has confirmed that all supported apps will be easily accessible from the homepage, offering seamless integration of content. Users can conveniently search for shows and movies using voice commands and save them to a Playlist for later viewing.
The new Sky Ultimate plan will be compatible across Sky Glass, Sky Stream, and Sky Q platforms.
Sophia Ahmad, Sky’s Chief Consumer Officer, expressed that the update signifies a “new era” for Sky and NOW, uniting Sky, Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, and Hayu under a single subscription. She emphasized that customers will benefit from a cohesive viewing experience and exceptional value, with HBO Max included at no additional charge for NOW Entertainment customers.
Sky’s latest move underscores its commitment to innovation, aiming to simplify the process for viewers to enjoy premium entertainment in a centralized platform.

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