Sky is introducing changes for 2026 with the launch of a new Ultimate plan. This plan includes premium channels such as Sky Atlantic, Sky One, and Sky Documentaries bundled together with Netflix and Disney+ for a single monthly fee. Moreover, the upcoming HBO Max will also be part of the package upon its release later this week, offering popular on-demand shows at no extra charge. Additionally, subscribers will have access to Hayu later this year, providing a variety of reality TV content for UK viewers.
Although the full Hayu launch is set for July, Sky has surprised fans by offering an early preview termed as “Taste of Hayu.” This preview currently offers over 150 episodes from some of Hayu’s most popular franchises.
Included shows are Below Deck Mediterranean, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and Vanderpump Rules.
This early access is available to Sky Stream and Sky Glass customers with the Ultimate TV package, as well as Sky Q and Sky+ users, enabling them to watch selected seasons on demand.
The complete rollout of Hayu in July will unlock the entire catalog, offering reality TV enthusiasts hundreds of additional series to enjoy. Moreover, new episodes of major shows will be accessible on the same day they air in the US, all included in the Sky TV package.
According to Sky, “Reality fans are in for a treat, with a selection of Hayu’s most popular shows now available for Sky TV subscribers to watch. Customers can enjoy select seasons of their favorites directly from their homepage, on demand, and at no extra cost—providing a glimpse 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 set to arrive next week and full integration of Hayu coming later in the year.
Key inclusions in the new £24 package:
Netflix Standard with Ads
Disney+ Standard with Ads (commencing in March, date to be confirmed)
HBO Max Basic with Ads (launching in the UK & Ireland on 26 March)
Hayu (full access starting in July, with preview content available from March)
