Sky has introduced an exciting new update that is generating buzz. The television provider has unveiled a compelling subscription package that combines several of the most popular streaming services worldwide at a reduced monthly rate. Priced at just £24 per month, both new and current customers will soon enjoy access to Disney+, Netflix, Hayu, and the highly anticipated HBO Max app, scheduled for launch next month.
According to Sky, this bundle offers excellent value for money, with approximately £20 worth of streaming applications included for a lower price. Considering that Sky’s basic plan currently costs £15 per month, the additional content effectively amounts to just £9 extra.
In addition, subscribers to the Ultimate TV plan will gain access to over 130 channels, including Sky Comedy, Sky Documentaries, Sky Crime, Sky History, and more.
Moreover, those signed up with Sky Cinema will benefit from a dedicated Disney movie channel directly added to their planner, enabling them to watch Disney blockbusters without needing to open the Disney+ app.
Existing Disney+ subscribers who are direct subscribers can switch their current plan—whether Standard or Premium—to Sky while retaining their profiles and viewing history.
Sky has confirmed that all supported applications will be conveniently accessible directly from the homepage, with fully integrated content. This functionality allows users to discover shows and movies through voice search and save them to a Playlist for later viewing.
The new Sky Ultimate plan will be accessible across Sky Glass, Sky Stream, and Sky Q platforms.
Sophia Ahmad, Sky’s Chief Consumer Officer, expressed that this update signifies a “new era” for Sky and NOW, uniting Sky, Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, and Hayu under a single subscription. She highlighted that customers will enjoy an integrated viewing experience and exceptional value, with HBO Max included at no additional charge for NOW Entertainment customers.
Sky emphasizes that this move underscores its commitment to innovation, simplifying the process for viewers to enjoy premium entertainment all in one place.
