Sky is introducing a new offering in 2026, known as the Ultimate plan, which 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 upon its launch later this week, providing access to a variety of popular on-demand shows. Subscribers will also be able to enjoy Hayu later this year, bringing a diverse selection of reality TV content to audiences in the UK.
While the full launch of Hayu is set for July, Sky has surprised fans with an early preview named “Taste of Hayu,” offering more than 150 episodes from some of the platform’s popular franchises such as Below Deck Mediterranean, The Real Housewives series, and Vanderpump Rules.
This early 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 Hayu rollout in July will provide access to a wide range of reality series, including new episodes of major shows airing on the same day as in the US, all within the Sky TV experience.
In a statement, Sky expressed excitement for reality TV fans, mentioning that select Hayu shows are now available for Sky TV subscribers to enjoy, offering a glimpse of the upcoming full launch in July. Hayu joins Netflix and Disney+ in the Ultimate package, with HBO Max set to join the lineup next week and full Hayu integration later in the year.
The new £24 package includes Netflix Standard with Ads, Disney+ Standard with Ads (starting in March), HBO Max Basic with Ads (launching in the UK & Ireland on March 26), full access to Hayu from July (with preview content from March), and over 130 Sky channels.
