Sky Sports customers to get free £20 streaming apps in major change to one plan

Sky Sports fans can lock in the deal before an upcoming price rise.

Sky Sports customers will soon be given free streaming subscriptions worth more than £20 in a major change to one plan. Sky has confirmed that free access to Disney+, HBO Max and Hayu will soon be added to its Ultimate TV and Sky Sports bundle .

This means customers on the £42 monthly deal will receive more than £20 worth of streaming apps included each month at no extra cost, alongside Sky TV, free Netflix and discovery+. This is available for existing Sky Ultimate TV customers and those taking out a new package before the changes are introduced.

However, Sky has said the package will increase by £2 per month for those taking out a subscription from April 1. New customers taking out the Ultimate TV and Sky Sports package before this deadline will get Disney+ Standard with Ads, HBO Max Basic With Ads and Hayu added to their pack at no extra cost.

This is alongside full Sky Sports coverage across nine dedicated channels, including the Premier League, EFL, Formula 1, darts and golf. There are also more than 135 regular channels such as Sky Atlantic and the soon to be re-launched Sky One.

HBO will launch in the UK on March 26, with the exact Disney+ and Hayu dates to be confirmed. The free streaming deal is also available with the standard £22 Ultimate TV bundle , with no Sky Sports channels.

With the deal, Sky customers will be able to watch a host of Disney+ sports documentaries including Welcome to Wrexham, Flintoff, and Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1 Story. There are also countless Netflix series like Beckham, Formula 1: Drive to Survive, Full Swing and Carlos Alcaraz: My Way.

However, customers should note that while HBO Max will be the new home of TNT Sports, an additional TNT Sports plan will be required for full access. Sky also states its prices ‘may change’ during the 24-month minimum term.

Here’s a full breakdown of the deal:

Sky Ultimate TV and Sky Sports

The deal comes as the Premier League title race heats up with Arsenal holding a five-point lead.

It comes as Virgin Media rivals Sky with its own sport deal that’s seen the provider’s flagship Sport bundle reduced from £56.99 to £52.99. While more pricey than Sky, this comes with more than 200 channels including nine from Sky Sports, plus Netflix and 362Mbps broadband.

Announcing the new Ultimate TV deal , Sophia Ahmad, Chief Consumer Officer at Sky, said: “This marks a new era for Sky and NOW. In a world-first, we’re bringing together Sky, Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max and Hayu into a single Sky TV subscription.

“Nowhere else offers this breadth of incredible entertainment in a fully integrated experience, with everything customers love watching side by side so viewers can jump from show to show with ease. Millions of existing customers will get easy access to this new line-up as standard at unbeatable value.

“We’re proud to continue Sky’s legacy of innovation, making it easier than ever for people to enjoy the very best entertainment and best experience, all in one place.”
