Sky has announced "world-first" plans to bring together several leading streaming platforms as part a single TV subscription package.
The pay-TV broadcaster will offer Disney+, HBO Max, Netflix, and Hayu alongside its own shows with a single Sky TV subscription, called Sky Ultimate TV, from £24 a month.
The news comes ahead of the March launch of HBO Max, which will house many shows that have previously been seen on Sky.
The plan means Sky customers will be able to watch Sky originals – including the new Saturday Night Live UK and Under Salt Marsh – and Sky Exclusives like Heated Rivalry, alongside HBO Max content such as the new Harry Potter TV series and Friends, as well as Disney series including Rivals and FX’s The Bear.
The service will begin in March 2026, with reality TV streamer Hayu available from July 2026. The £24 a month Sky Ultimate TV price applies from 1 April 3026 for new customers, and Sky has stated that the price may change during a 24-month minimum term.
Sophia Ahmad, Chief Consumer Officer at Sky, said: “This marks a new era for Sky and Now. In a world-first, we’re bringing together Sky, Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, and Hayu into a single Sky TV subscription. Nowhere else offers this breadth of incredible entertainment in a fully integrated experience, with everything customers love watching side by side so viewers can jump from show to show with ease.”
Sky research recently found that the UK is capable of fully moving to internet-delivered TV in the 2030s – if the UK Government sets a clear timetable and invests in targeted help for those most at risk of digital exclusion. Discover more here.
