Sky is revamping its offerings in 2026 with the introduction of a new Ultimate plan. This plan combines premium channels such as Sky Atlantic, Sky One, and Sky Documentaries with Netflix and Disney+ into a single monthly subscription. Additionally, the upcoming HBO Max will be included at no extra cost upon its launch later this week, offering a variety of popular shows on demand. Subscribers can also anticipate the arrival of Hayu later this year, expanding the range of reality TV content available to UK audiences.
While the full launch of Hayu is set for July, Sky has surprised fans by providing an early preview known as “Taste of Hayu.” This preview grants access to over 150 episodes from some of Hayu’s most popular 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. Viewers can watch selected seasons on demand.
The complete rollout of Hayu in July will unlock the entire catalogue, offering fans the opportunity to enjoy hundreds of additional reality series. Furthermore, new episodes of major shows will be available the same day they air in the US, all included within the Sky TV subscription.
In a statement, Sky expressed excitement for reality TV enthusiasts, highlighting that select seasons of popular Hayu shows are now available for Sky TV subscribers. Customers can easily access these favorites from their homepage, on demand, and at no extra cost, providing a glimpse of what’s to come before the full Hayu launch on Sky in July.
Hayu will join Netflix and Disney+ in the Ultimate package, with HBO Max set to join next week and full Hayu integration following 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 26 March)
– Hayu (full access from July, with preview content available from March)
– Over 130 Sky channels
