Sky TV customers are in for a treat with a recent upgrade that grants them complimentary access to the Disney+ subscription service. This added benefit 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.
The upgraded package doesn’t stop there. Sky is set to introduce HBO Max Basic and Hayu to its lineup soon. The integration of Disney+ across Sky Glass, Sky Stream, and Sky Q platforms ensures a seamless viewing experience with features like Continue Watching, search functionality, and voice control.
Furthermore, Sky Cinema subscribers will now have access to a dedicated Disney+ Cinema channel. For new customers, the Sky Ultimate package is available to all UK households starting at £24 per month.
Key features of the £24 plan include Netflix Standard with Ads, Disney+ Standard with Ads, HBO Max Basic with Ads (launching on March 26), full access to Hayu from July, and over 130 Sky channels. Sophia Ahmad, Sky’s Chief Consumer Officer, emphasized the aim of integrating Sky, Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, and Hayu into a single subscription to enhance viewers’ experience.
Millions of existing customers will benefit from the expanded lineup at no extra charge, while NOW Entertainment users will receive HBO Max within the app without additional fees. Sky’s initiative aims to streamline streaming services and provide viewers with a more cohesive viewing experience.
