Sky Sports subscribers will shortly receive complimentary streaming services valued at over £20 as part of a significant package overhaul. Sky has announced that complimentary access to Disney+, HBO Max and Hayu will be incorporated into its Ultimate TV and Sky Sports bundle.

Customers paying £42 monthly will benefit from more than £20 worth of streaming platforms included at no additional charge, alongside Sky TV, complimentary Netflix and discovery+. The offer applies to current Sky Ultimate TV subscribers and those signing up before the modifications take effect.

Sky has confirmed, though, that the package will rise by £2 monthly for subscribers joining from April 1 onwards. Those securing the Ultimate TV and Sky Sports package ahead of this cut-off will receive Disney+ Standard with Ads, HBO Max Basic With Ads and Hayu incorporated into their subscription at no additional expense.

The bundle includes comprehensive Sky Sports programming across nine specialist channels, featuring the Premier League, EFL, Formula 1, darts and golf. Subscribers also gain access to over 135 standard channels including Sky Atlantic and the forthcoming relaunched Sky One.

HBO will debut in the UK on March 26, whilst precise launch dates for Disney+ and Hayu remain to be announced. The complimentary streaming package is equally available with the standard £22 Ultimate TV bundle, without Sky Sports channels, reports Wales Online.

Sky customers will gain access to a wealth of Disney+ sports documentaries, including Welcome to Wrexham, Flintoff, and Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1 Story. Alongside these, there are numerous Netflix series available such as Beckham, Formula 1: Drive to Survive, Full Swing and Carlos Alcaraz: My Way.

Customers should be aware, however, that whilst HBO Max will become the new home of TNT Sports, a separate TNT Sports plan will be needed for complete access. Sky has also confirmed that its prices 'may change' throughout the 24-month minimum term.

Here's a full breakdown of the deal:.

• £42 per month, 24-month contract.
• Nine Sky Sports channels.
• 135+ regular channels such as Sky Atlantic.
• Netflix Standard with Ads.
• Discovery+ Entertainment.
• Disney+ Standard with Ads (from March, date to be confirmed).
• HBO Max Basic with Ads (from March 26).
• Hayu (from July, with some shows available from March).

This comes as Virgin Media goes head-to-head with Sky through its own sports package, slashing its flagship Sport bundle from £56.99 to £52.99. Although pricier than Sky's offering, it includes over 200 channels, nine of which are Sky Sports, plus Netflix and 362Mbps broadband.

Unveiling the new Ultimate TV package, 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."
