Millions of Sky users can now unlock a blockbuster TV upgrade for free
If you have Sky TV beamed into your living room, you might want to check your contract. It’s just been confirmed that some lucky customers have now received an upgrade that adds full Disney+ access for free. “Millions of Sky customers now get Disney+ Standard with Ads (worth £5.99/month) included,” Sky explained in a message sent to Express.co.uk. The update is all part of an upgraded Sky Ultimate plan that was recently announced by the telly company.
This option now includes that Disney+ access and will soon add HBO Max Basic, along with Hayu, later this year. To make things even better, content is fully integrated across Sky Glass, Sky Stream and Sky Q, with Disney+ appearing in Continue Watching, search and voice controls for the first time.
And that’s not all: there’s also a dedicated Disney+ Cinema channel available to all Sky Cinema customers.
Those who don’t currently have Sky can also join the party with Sky Ultimate available from £24 per month.
What’s included in the new £24 package
• Netflix Standard with Ads
• Disney+ Standard with Ads – from March (date to be confirmed)
• HBO Max Basic with Ads – from when it launches in the UK & Ireland on 26th March
• Hayu from July, with a selection of top shows available from March
• PLUS: Over 130 channels from Sky
