Sky has unveiled an exciting new update that is set to make waves. The television provider has announced a compelling subscription plan that combines some of the most popular streaming services in the world at a reduced monthly rate. For just £24 per month, both new and existing customers will gain access to Disney+, Netflix, Hayu, and the upcoming HBO Max app, scheduled for launch next month.
According to Sky, this bundled offering delivers great value, providing approximately £20 worth of streaming apps for a lower cost. Considering that Sky’s basic plan is currently priced at £15 per month, customers can enjoy the additional content for just an extra £9.
In addition to the streaming services, subscribers to the Ultimate TV plan will receive access to over 130 channels, including Sky Comedy, Sky Documentaries, Sky Crime, Sky History, and more.
Furthermore, Sky Cinema users will benefit from a dedicated Disney movie channel integrated directly into their planner, enabling 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, 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. This feature allows users to search for shows and movies using voice commands and save them to a Playlist for later viewing.
The new Sky Ultimate plan will be available across Sky Glass, Sky Stream, and Sky Q platforms.
Sophia Ahmad, Sky’s Chief Consumer Officer, described the update as a “new era” for Sky and NOW, as it brings together Sky, Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, and Hayu under one subscription. She emphasized the integrated viewing experience and the “unbeatable value” customers will receive, with HBO Max included at no additional charge for NOW Entertainment subscribers.
Sky views this move as a continuation of its commitment to innovation, simplifying the process for viewers to access premium entertainment all in one place.
Key components of the update include Netflix Standard with Ads, Disney+ Standard with Ads (beginning in March), HBO Max Basic with Ads (starting with its UK & Ireland launch on March 26), Hayu (available from July with select shows accessible from March), and over 130 channels from Sky.
