Sky is set to introduce a new Ultimate plan in 2026, combining premium channels like Sky Atlantic, Sky One, and Sky Documentaries with Netflix and Disney+ at a flat monthly rate. Additionally, the upcoming HBO Max will be included at no extra cost upon its launch later this week, featuring popular on-demand shows. Later this year, subscribers will also gain access to Hayu, offering a variety of reality TV content to UK viewers.
While the full launch of Hayu is planned for July, Sky has surprised fans with an early preview called “Taste of Hayu,” providing over 150 episodes from popular franchises such as Below Deck Mediterranean, The Real Housewives series, and Vanderpump Rules.
The preview is accessible to Sky Stream and Sky Glass customers with the Ultimate TV package, along with Sky Q and Sky+ users, allowing on-demand viewing of selected seasons. July’s full rollout of Hayu will grant access to a complete range of reality series, including new episodes premiering on the same day as in the US, all within the Sky TV package.
Sky expressed excitement for reality fans, mentioning that select Hayu shows are now available for viewing by Sky TV subscribers, offering a preview of what’s to come before the full Hayu launch in July. Alongside Netflix and Disney+, Hayu will be integrated into the Ultimate package, while HBO Max is expected to join next week.
The new £24 package includes Netflix Standard with Ads, Disney+ Standard with Ads, HBO Max Basic with Ads (launching on March 26 in the UK & Ireland), full access to Hayu starting in July with preview content available from March, and over 130 Sky channels.
