Sky is introducing changes in 2026 by launching a new 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 cost when it debuts later this week, offering popular on-demand shows. Subscribers will also gain access to Hayu later this year, bringing a diverse range of reality TV content to UK viewers.
While the full launch of Hayu is set for July, Sky has surprised fans with an early preview called “Taste of Hayu,” providing access to over 150 episodes from popular franchises like Below Deck Mediterranean, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and Vanderpump Rules.
This preview is accessible to Sky Stream and Sky Glass customers with the Ultimate TV package, as well as Sky Q and Sky+ users, allowing on-demand viewing of selected seasons.
The complete rollout of Hayu in July will unlock the full catalog, offering reality TV fans hundreds of additional series to enjoy. New episodes of key shows will be available on the same day as their US airing, all within the Sky TV platform.
In an official statement, Sky mentioned, “Reality fans will be delighted with a selection of Hayu’s most popular shows now available to watch for Sky TV subscribers. Customers can enjoy select seasons of favorites directly from their homepage, on demand, and included in their subscription — providing a preview of what is 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 arriving next week and full Hayu integration scheduled 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
