Sky is introducing a new offering in 2026. The television provider has announced the launch of an innovative Ultimate plan that combines its premium channels such as Sky Atlantic, Sky One, and Sky Documentaries with popular streaming services Netflix and Disney+. Additionally, the upcoming HBO Max will be included at no extra cost upon its debut later this week, featuring a variety of in-demand shows. Subscribers will also gain access to Hayu later this year, providing a diverse selection of reality TV content for UK viewers.
Despite the official launch of Hayu set for July, Sky has pleasantly surprised fans by offering an early sneak peek. A new update named “Taste of Hayu” is now accessible, offering over 150 episodes from some of the platform’s most beloved franchises.
Viewers can enjoy shows like Below Deck Mediterranean, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and Vanderpump Rules during this preview phase.
The “Taste of Hayu” preview is available for Sky Stream and Sky Glass customers with the Ultimate TV package, as well as Sky Q and Sky+ users. Selected seasons can be watched on demand.
The full Hayu rollout in July will unlock the entire catalog, enabling reality TV enthusiasts to indulge in numerous additional series. Furthermore, new episodes of major shows will be available on the same day as their US airing, all integrated within the Sky TV experience.
In a recent statement, Sky expressed excitement for reality TV fans, stating that a selection of Hayu’s most popular shows are now accessible to Sky TV subscribers. These select seasons of favorite shows are conveniently available from the homepage, on demand, and included in the subscription, offering a glimpse of what’s to come before the full Hayu launch on Sky in July.
Hayu joins Netflix and Disney+ in the Ultimate package, with HBO Max set to join next week and the full integration of Hayu expected 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
