Sky is introducing a new offering in 2026. The TV provider has announced the launch of an Ultimate plan that combines premium channels like Sky Atlantic, Sky One, and Sky Documentaries with Netflix and Disney+ for one convenient monthly fee. Additionally, the upcoming HBO Max will be included upon its release this week, providing access to a variety of popular shows on demand at no extra charge. Subscribers will also have access to Hayu later this year, introducing a wide selection of reality TV content to UK viewers.
Despite the full launch of Hayu set for July, Sky has surprised fans by providing an early preview. The new feature, called “Taste of Hayu,” is now accessible, offering over 150 episodes from some of the platform’s top franchises.
Included shows are Below Deck Mediterranean, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and Vanderpump Rules.
This preview is accessible to Sky Stream and Sky Glass customers with the Ultimate TV package, as well as Sky Q and Sky+ users, allowing on-demand viewing of selected seasons.
The complete rollout of Hayu in July will unlock the entire catalog, enabling reality enthusiasts to enjoy hundreds of additional series. New episodes of major shows will also be available the same day as their US airing, all encompassed within the Sky TV experience.
Sky stated, “Reality fans will be delighted, as a selection of Hayu’s most popular shows are now accessible for Sky TV subscribers. Customers can enjoy select seasons of their favorites directly from their homepage, on demand and included in their subscription, providing a taste of what’s to come before the full launch of Hayu on Sky in July.”
Hayu will join Netflix and Disney+ in the Ultimate package, with HBO Max arriving next week and full Hayu integration following later in the year.
The new £24 package includes:
– Netflix Standard with Ads
– Disney+ Standard with Ads (starting March, date TBD)
– HBO Max Basic with Ads (launching in the UK & Ireland on March 26)
– Hayu (full access from July, with preview content available from March)
– Over 130 Sky channels
