Disney+ is now free for millions of people

Disney+ is effectively becoming “free” for millions of UK viewers – as long as you’re a Sky TV customer.

From today, eligible new and existing Sky subscribers can get Disney+ Standard with Ads included at no extra cost. Alternatively, they can apply the same £5.99 monthly saving toward higher-tier plans. It’s part of Sky’s bigger push to bundle multiple streaming services into a single subscription.

The move means Sky customers are now getting what’s essentially a full streaming bundle in one place. Alongside Disney+, the company is also rolling in Netflix.

HBO Max and Hayu are set to follow, bringing the total value of included services to over £20 a month.

For new customers, Sky says its Ultimate TV package starts at £24 per month. It bundles Sky TV, Netflix and Disney+ together. Additionally, more apps are being added over the coming months.

In practical terms, the integration goes beyond just access. Disney+ content is now fully baked into Sky’s interface across Sky Glass, Sky Stream and Sky Q. That means shows will appear in Continue Watching, recommendations, and even voice search. You can jump straight back into a series. Or, say “Hello Sky” to pull up content across apps without switching inputs.

There are a few extra perks, too. Sky Cinema subscribers are getting a dedicated Disney+ Cinema channel (EPG 305). It’s launching with around 50 films and rotating new titles weekly — including hits from Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars. Select shows like The Bear and Andor will also surface on Sky’s linear channels.

Existing Disney+ users aren’t left out either. If you already subscribe, you can migrate your account to Sky. You can keep your profiles and watch history, and still get the monthly discount.

It’s a clear play from Sky to simplify streaming, and make its platform stickier at the same time. Instead of juggling multiple subscriptions, everything is pulled into one place, one bill, and one interface.

For viewers, that means easier access. For Disney+, it’s a fast track into millions more homes.
