Sky customers across the UK can now access Disney+ as part of their Sky TV subscription from today, bringing one of the world’s biggest streaming services directly into the platform’s integrated entertainment ecosystem.
Eligible new and existing customers will now receive Disney+ Standard with Ads, worth £5.99 per month, included within their Sky TV package, or the same saving when upgrading to Standard or Premium tiers. The move is part of Sky’s wider strategy to combine multiple streaming platforms within a single subscription and unified viewing experience.
The announcement follows Sky’s recent reveal of its new bundled entertainment offering, bringing Disney+, Netflix, HBO Max, and Hayu together with Sky TV. Combined, the services represent more than £20 worth of streaming apps included each month alongside Sky Originals and exclusive shows such as Under Salt Marsh, Heated Rivalry, and the upcoming Saturday Night Live UK.
Disney+ Now Integrated Across the Sky Platform
From today, Sky customers can access a wide range of titles available on Disney+, including series such as Rivals, Paradise, and FX’s The Bear, alongside major film releases including Disney’s Zootropolis 2 and Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
The service also includes well known animated favourites such as Moana 2 and classics including Frozen. Across the platform, viewers can explore content from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, Hulu, FX, and 20th Century Studios.
Sky Stream and Sky Glass customers with Ultimate TV, as well as Sky Q customers and Sky Essential TV customers with Sky Cinema, can activate the service quickly using the voice command “Get Disney+” or by signing up via Sky’s website.
Customers who already subscribe to Disney+ directly can migrate their existing Standard with Ads, Standard, or Premium plan to Sky. Doing so keeps their profiles and watch history intact while applying the £5.99 monthly saving, equivalent to more than £70 per year.
New Disney+ Cinema Channel and Linear Programming
Sky Cinema subscribers will also gain access to a new Disney+ Cinema channel launching on EPG channel 305. The channel will showcase around 50 films at launch drawn from the wider Disney+ catalogue.
The curated movie selection will include titles from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars, alongside new additions each week. Films arriving soon on the channel include Iron Man, Deadpool and Wolverine, 20th Century Studios’ Death on the Nile, Alien: Romulus, and Disney and Pixar’s Finding Nemo and Up.
In addition, a selection of Disney+ shows will appear across Sky’s linear channels, introducing major streaming titles to traditional TV schedules. Series expected to air include the Star Wars drama Andor, FX’s The Bear, and the documentary series Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story. These programmes will appear across channels such as Sky Atlantic, Sky One, and Sky Witness for eligible Sky and NOW Entertainment customers.
Disney+ joins Sky’s growing integrated streaming ecosystem within Sky OS, which powers Sky Stream and Sky Glass. The platform brings together Sky TV content with major streaming apps including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, and now Disney+ within a single interface.
Disney+ programmes will also appear within Sky’s Continue Watching row for the first time, allowing viewers to resume shows directly from the homepage. Titles can also be added to Sky’s Playlist feature for later viewing, while Sky’s voice control system enables users to search across apps with commands such as “Hello Sky, play Grey’s Anatomy.”
Integration also extends to Sky Q, where Disney+ content will appear in areas such as Today’s Top Picks and Continue Watching.
The new Sky bundle is also set to include HBO Max, which launches in the UK on March 26 – titles including Oscar winners Sinners, One Battle After Another, as well as hit TV series Euphoria, Game of Thrones and The Big Bang Theory will be included at launch.
