Sky UK TV Customers Finally Get Hayu as Part of their TV Subscription
Sky (Sky Broadband etc.) has confirmed that access to Hayu is now included with Sky Ultimate TV, Sky Signature, Sky Entertainment and Sky+ Original, Variety and Family packs (i.e. no need for a separate subscription or standalone app). The move follows Sky’s Feb 2026 news (here), which revealed their plans for combining Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max and Hayu into a single sub.
For those who don’t know, Hayu is a global subscription video streaming service that specialises in reality TV shows, which normally costs £5.99 per month (or £52.99 annually). But as above, Sky’s customers have now had this included into their package without the need to use an extra app, a separate Hayu login or an additional subscription to manage.
So, if you like shows like ‘Real Housewives’ (franchise), ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’, ‘Below Deck’ and hundreds of other series then god help your sanity this is for you. Customers can find Hayu content on Sky by using voice search to say “Hayu”, browsing through new reality TV or entertainment rails, or looking for Hayu titles appearing in recommendations.

I cannot believe people pay/paid for that reality crap with wannabe celebrities…..
Can see some customers getting confused as unlike every other “freebie” that use standalone apps, Hayu doesn’t but unfortunately Sky still have the Hayu app on their “marketplace” which might confuse people that the £4pm fee might be waived.
Keeping up with the Kardashians? I presume Sky are now charging people to remove Hayu.
The Hayu channel is just one more reason to cancel one’s Television Licence!
I pity the poor children that have to endure this cr@p in the company of their, presumably previously brain-dead, parents.
I would have happily put myself up, for adoption, if my mother had watched programmes similar to these.
Thank goodness for Muffin the Mule & Noggin the Nog!
Hayu is linked to a pay tv operator, and isn’t live tv service here. Obviously an agenda on your part to change a discussion to tv licensing.
Reality TV shows? Oh good grief, and people pay for that?
It really must make Sky subscription so much better value.
