Sky is introducing a new offering in 2026, unveiling the Ultimate plan that combines premium channels like Sky Atlantic, Sky One, and Sky Documentaries with Netflix and Disney+ for a single monthly fee. Additionally, the upcoming HBO Max will be included at no extra charge upon its launch this week, providing access to a variety of popular shows on demand. Subscribers will also receive Hayu later this year, offering a diverse selection of reality TV content to UK viewers.
While the official launch of Hayu is set for July, Sky has pleasantly surprised fans by providing an early sneak peek through the “Taste of Hayu” update. This feature is now live, granting access to over 150 episodes from some of Hayu’s most beloved franchises, including Below Deck Mediterranean, The Real Housewives series, and Vanderpump Rules.
The “Taste of Hayu” preview is accessible to Sky Stream and Sky Glass customers with the Ultimate TV package, as well as Sky Q and Sky+ users. Selected seasons can be watched on demand.
The full rollout of Hayu in July will unlock the entire catalog, enabling reality enthusiasts to enjoy hundreds of additional series. Moreover, new episodes of key shows will be available the same day they premiere in the US, all encompassed within the Sky TV service.
Sky conveyed in a statement, “Reality fans are in for a treat, with a selection of Hayu’s most talked-about shows now available to watch for Sky TV subscribers.” The Taste of Hayu content can be enjoyed straight from the homepage, on demand, and included in the subscription, offering a glimpse of what’s to come before the full Hayu launch on Sky in July.
Hayu joins Netflix and Disney+ in the Ultimate package, with HBO Max slated to join next week, followed by the full integration of Hayu later in the year.
The new £24 package includes:
– Netflix Standard with Ads
– Disney+ Standard with Ads (starting in March, date to be confirmed)
– 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
