Bringing customers more of the best entertainment in one place, Disney+ is now included with the Sky TV subscription from today.
Millions of Sky customers can enjoy Disney+ as part of their Sky TV subscription from today. Worth £5.99 a month, eligible new and existing customers will get easy access to Disney+ Standard with Ads. Alternatively, they can get the same savings on Standard and Premium. This brings them a lifetime of great stories and entertainment.
The move follows February’s announcement of Sky’s new world-first line-up. This brings Disney+, HBO Max, Hayu and Netflix, alongside Sky TV, together in one single subscription. It also offers a simple, integrated experience. That’s over £20 worth of streaming apps included each month. This is together with brilliant Sky Originals and Exclusive shows like Under Salt Marsh, Heated Rivalry, and the much-anticipated Saturday Night Live UK.
New customers can get Sky, Disney+, Netflix, as well as HBO Max and Hayu (both coming soon) with Sky Ultimate TV from £24 a month, offering the best value in the market.
UNMISSABLE ENTERTAINMENT FROM DISNEY+ ON SKY
From today, customers can watch a huge range of shows on Disney+, including the must-watch Rivals, Paradise, and FX’s The Bear. They can also enjoy blockbuster films like Disney’s Zootropolis 2 and Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Alongside these are some of Disney’s most loved animated stories, including Moana 2 and classics like Frozen. Together, the lineup spans Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, Hulu, FX, 20th Century Studios, and more.
Sky Stream and Sky Glass customers with Ultimate TV, Sky Q customers*, and Sky Essential TV customers with Sky Cinema can sign up in minutes. Simply use the “Get Disney+” voice command and follow the on-screen steps, or head to Sky.com
Sky customers with existing Disney+ subscriptions can move their current Standard with Ads, Standard or Premium plan to Sky. This saves them £5.99 a month, which is over £70 a year. They can do this while keeping their profile and watch history. Additionally, customers can also choose to upgrade from Disney+ Standard with Ads to Standard or Premium. In this case, they only pay the difference.
DISNEY+ CINEMA CHANNEL
Sky Cinema customers will get a new Disney+ Cinema channel. It is a collection of the best movies from Disney+ to showcase the great content in the full Disney+ app experience. This is launching on EPG channel 305. It gives access to even more great movies as part of their subscription, alongside hit films from Sky, Paramount+ and NBCUniversal. With around 50 titles at launch, it will blend beloved favourites from Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars with new movies every week. For example, films coming soon will include Marvel Studios’ Iron Man, Deadpool and Wolverine, 20th Century Studios’ Death on the Nile, Alien: Romulus, Disney and Pixar’s Finding Nemo and Up.
There will also be a handpicked selection of Disney+ favourites on Sky’s linear channels, bringing some big hits straight to the TV guide. For example, gripping Star Wars series Andor, critically acclaimed drama FX’s The Bear and three-part Original series, Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story will be available. Titles will air across Sky Atlantic, Sky One and Sky Witness for eligible Sky customers. NOW Entertainment customers will also be able to watch.
FIND FAVOURITE SHOWS IN SECONDS WITH SKY OS
Disney+ content is seamlessly integrated into the Sky OS platform on Sky Stream and Sky Glass alongside Sky TV. This includes Sky Originals and Exclusives. Content from apps like Netflix, Amazon Prime and Apple TV is also included. As a result, it is easy to discover new favourites. You can add shows straight to the Playlist to enjoy later.
For the first time, Disney+ content will show up in Continue Watching, so viewers can quickly jump back into what they were watching. Whether it’s the next episode of Bluey or picking up a series where they left off the night before, customers can find where they’re up to easily from the Sky homepage. Everything integrates with Sky voice control, too. For example, customers can search for shows across apps and control their TV with ease — just say, “Hello Sky, play Grey’s Anatomy” to get the next episode.
Disney+ shows and movies are also integrated within the Sky Q homepage for those customers. This includes the Today’s Top Picks rail and Continue Watching, for a seamless experience.
Sky TV customers will enjoy HBO Max Basic with Ads as part of their subscription starting March 26, and they’ll also gain access to Hayu in July. Additionally, they can look forward to a preview of the top reality shows available later this month.
