Sky is making significant changes in 2026 by introducing a new Ultimate plan that includes premium channels such as Sky Atlantic, Sky One, and Sky Documentaries, alongside Netflix and Disney+ at a fixed monthly rate. Additionally, the upcoming HBO Max will be integrated into the package upon its launch later this week, offering a variety of popular on-demand shows at no extra charge. Subscribers will also gain access to Hayu later this year, providing a diverse selection of reality TV content for UK audiences.
Despite the official launch of Hayu set for July, Sky has surprised fans with an early preview named “Taste of Hayu,” granting viewers access to over 150 episodes from some of the platform’s most beloved franchises like Below Deck Mediterranean, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and Vanderpump Rules.
This preview is exclusively 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, allowing fans of reality TV to enjoy hundreds of additional series. Furthermore, new episodes of major shows will be accessible the same day they air in the US, all included within the Sky TV experience.
In a statement, Sky expressed, “Reality fans are set for a delightful experience, with a curated selection of Hayu’s most buzzed-about shows now accessible to Sky TV subscribers. Customers can indulge in chosen seasons of favorites directly from their homepage, on demand, and inclusive within their subscription, offering a glimpse of what’s to come before the full launch of Hayu on Sky in July.”
Hayu joins the existing Ultimate package lineup that includes Netflix and Disney+, with HBO Max set to join next week, followed by the full integration of Hayu later in the year.
The new £24 package encompasses:
– Netflix Standard with Ads
– Disney+ Standard with Ads (effective from March, exact date to be confirmed)
– HBO Max Basic with Ads (launching in the UK & Ireland on 26 March)
– Hayu (full access from July, with preview content available from March)
– Over 130 Sky channels
