Sky's Revolutionary £24 'Super-Bundle' Transforms the Streaming Landscape
The streaming industry has been jolted by a major development as Sky introduces a groundbreaking new subscription package. Dubbed a "world-first," this initiative bundles together some of the most popular streaming services under one roof for an astonishingly low monthly fee. Starting from March, new customers who sign up for the Sky Ultimate TV package will gain access to Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, and Hayu, all integrated with Sky's own extensive channel lineup, for just £24 per month.
Unprecedented Savings and Simplified Viewing
This move addresses two common frustrations for modern viewers: escalating subscription costs and the hassle of navigating multiple apps. Individually, subscribing to Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, and Hayu could cost over £45 monthly, making Sky's bundle one of the most substantial savings offers in recent streaming history. The package is designed to streamline the viewing experience, with a software update that seamlessly blends content from all four apps into Sky's interface.
Key inclusions in the Sky Ultimate TV bundle:
- Sky TV: All standard channels plus Sky Originals.
- Netflix: The familiar standard tier.
- Disney+: Featuring hits like The Bear, Marvel series, Star Wars, and Moana 2.
- HBO Max: Launching in the UK on 26 March, offering acclaimed shows such as Succession, The White Lotus, and One Battle After Another.
- Hayu: Joining from July, this reality TV hub includes favorites like Below Deck and Real Housewives.
Important Details and Considerations
There is a catch, however. The Disney+ and HBO Max subscriptions included are the ad-supported tiers. Viewers who prefer an ad-free experience can opt to pay extra to upgrade while still benefiting from the bundle's overall savings. For many, this trade-off is acceptable given the significant cost reduction and convenience.
The software enhancement means that shows from all four streaming services will appear side-by-side in the "top picks" and "continue watching" rails on the Sky home screen. This eliminates the need to switch between separate apps, allowing users to effortlessly resume watching content like Stranger Things on Netflix or Real Housewives on Hayu.
Benefits for Existing Customers and Cord-Cutters
Existing Sky customers with eligible services, such as Sky Stream, Sky Glass Ultimate TV, or Sky Q, will see these apps integrated into their subscriptions at no additional cost. Sky can also migrate existing Disney+ profiles to the Sky bill, saving customers the £5.99 monthly fee without losing watch history.
The rollout will be phased: Disney+ becomes available in March, HBO Max follows on 26 March, and Hayu joins fully in July, with some reality shows accessible from March. For those avoiding contracts, Sky's sister service Now is enhancing its Now Entertainment membership (from £5.99 per month) to include HBO Max (with ads) at no extra charge, catering to cord-cutters seeking premium drama without long-term commitments.
A Game-Changer in the Streaming Market
In an era where streaming prices typically only rise, Sky's £24 bundle stands out as a refreshing and competitive offer. By consolidating major players like Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, and Hayu, Sky not only provides substantial financial savings but also simplifies the increasingly complex and costly reality of television consumption in 2026. For households planning to subscribe to even two of these platforms, this package represents an exceptional deal that could redefine viewing habits.
