prices will start from £24 per month

Would you take it up?

I need to work out what I’m paying per month tbh, but I pay for Now Tv, Netflix, Apple TV and get Disney plus with my bank (Lloyds) - 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Seems to me that we’ve gone back to the days of just having one cable tv bill!! - well done to sky for hanging in there tbh!

Right, so existing customers will get it for £24 too, is that confirmed? I’m not with Sky btw, but might be interested as I do want to finally watch The Pitt on HBO plus the new Game of Thrones spin off etc.

No - as an existing customer cheapest they would offer me yesterday was £34
That was an essentials package which from March included Netflix / Disney etc

Im with sky (another love/hate relationship. They bung the price up, I ring threaten to leave they miraculously come up with.a better deal. This year it was cheaper to have films, paramount and Netflix than the basic package.) DS pays for Disney so that will save him a bit.

Sorry I'm a bit of a tech dinosaur, trying to figure out, will I not be able to get Disney+ through my firestick and on the kids tablet apps once this change happens?

I'm guessing it will be the same as Netflix which I already have through Sky, I have a Netflix login which is my original one which is now paid for through Sky but I can use Netflix on all the apps on different devices like when I paid through Netflix. I also was able to upgrade to Netflix no ads with Sky by paying the difference.

Cancelled my Sky yesterday as had gone up to £58 / month and I occasionally use Netflix. Best price they would offer as existing customer was £34 / month for essential + basic Netflix. There is barely anything on essential which isn’t available on free view

Save £600 a year 👍

I’d bet good money on this being an introductory offer but almost certainly won’t apply to existing customers. Sky lure you in with low offers, get you hooked and then (like boiling frogs) gradually turn up the heat till you suddenly realise, ‘hey I was paying £25 a month, why am I now paying £75?’

I’m currently stuck in a Stockholm Syndrome relationship with Sky at £65 per month. I cancel every 18 months at the end of the contract and swear I’m going to Freeview but then I get suckered in again. Every Time.

It does apply to existing customers.

I have this package which at the moment includes Netflix. Got an e mail to tell us about the three add ons. Really chuffed.

berlinbaby2025 · 13/02/2026 08:53

I hate ads and hate being tied in for months, so I’ll be giving this a miss.

INeedAnotherName · 13/02/2026 08:41

I received an email yesterday saying all this was being added to my package. I'm on basic Sky and only 6 months into my contract. Very surprised tbh.

That's very good, it sounds like it's all existing Sky customers are getting a free bundle then.

PuppyMonkey · 13/02/2026 08:43

Dontcallmescarface · 13/02/2026 08:38

I don't have Sky or any streaming channels (if that's what they're called), and at £24 a month I don't intend to change that.

firstofallimadelight · 13/02/2026 08:35

We pay about £15 per month for Netflix , now and Disney so dont think we will bother.

RedRiverShore6 · 13/02/2026 08:26

I think Sky are having to cut prices a bit for existing customers on the pricy Q and other packages, we recently got a £10 a month discount on the multiroom mid contract, also this free bundle will save a bit of money for us, but us Sky customers are paying through the nose anyway, mainly for the convenience that Sky Q offers and I think like the TV licence many are cancelling as it's overpriced.

DangerousDolphin · 13/02/2026 08:11

We left Sky last year for a EE package and it’s great. Much more transparent pricing, an extra box was free (it had been £10 a month with SKY) and the package can be reduced down to the basic one at any time, and then have add-ons if needed.

RedRiverShore6 · 13/02/2026 08:06

Right, so existing customers will get it for £24 too, is that confirmed? I’m not with Sky btw, but might be interested as I do want to finally watch The Pitt on HBO plus the new Game of Thrones spin off etc.

If you have certain Sky packages it will be free, bundled with the package. If you just want HBO but not a bundle that Sky offers for £24 it should be available as a stand alone by the looks of it on five different plans, through HBO, so if you only want that I would probably look at all the options not just the Sky one. I would probably have a look at HBO Max website for best information.

Yes it’s not new customers only - being added to my subscription from March. I am very happy about it. I like Sky - yes the bills will go up at the end of your contract if you don’t phone to haggle, but then they also sometimes randomly give me discounts, last year they gave me a free extra SkyQ box for no apparent reason. I thought I was being scammed when they phoned me and asked if I wanted it!

CanIHelpItIfImALittleTense · 13/02/2026 06:15

I pay £0 and get none of that woke shite. It's bliss

RedRiverShore6 · 13/02/2026 06:12

If I didn't have Sky and just used streamers rotated on a few months basis I probably wouldn't pay the £24 for the Sky bundle on its own as it's not so easy to dip in and out of or take advantage of offers. For current Sky customers it seems like a very good deal as we won't have to pay extra for it unless we want to upgrade and then it's just the difference.

RedRiverShore6 · 13/02/2026 06:02

We have Sky Q and got the email yesterday that they would be included in the package. We will pay the bit extra to upgrade to the non ads versions like we do with Netflix.

DeltaAlphaDelta79 · 12/02/2026 23:00

Within my account it says its being added for me too, as a current customer, and that nearer the time I'll be sent info on how to get logged in.

From the Sky website "Disney+ Standard with Ads will be included for new and existing Sky Ultimate TV and all Sky Q customers (except TV Essentials and Sky Basics). It's not included with any Sky+ packages."

"Millions of existing customers with Sky Q, Sky Stream or Sky Glass subscriptions will get "easy access" to the new line-up as standard"

The wording on Sky TV site says:

New customers will get Sky Originals and Exclusives, Hayu, Netflix, Disney+, and HBO Max1 as part of the Sky Ultimate TV pack from just £24 a month. Designed for those who want a never-ending supply of brilliant entertainment for the best value in the market, it brings together over 130 channels including Sky Comedy, Sky Documentaries, Sky Crime, Sky History, plus many more.

New Customers only.

Do you remember the advertising campaign against ‘brand new customers only’ years ago?

somehow all of that was forgotten 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️😂
