Sky and Disney have confirmed a multi-year deal that means customers can watch Disney Plus on Sky Q, as well as NOW.

The Disney Plus service is fully integrated into the Sky Q set-up, so you can download it and pay for it as part of your Sky bill.

If you sign up now, you can get a ton of original Marvel, Star Wars and Disney Plus Star content. Everything you need to know to get set up is below, and you can head over to our best Disney Plus offers guide if you still need to secure a subscription.

How much is Disney Plus on Sky?

Sky said Disney Plus will cost the same with Sky as it does without, so £7.99 a month. The subscription basically works the same as Netflix does, bundled in with Sky.

How does Disney Plus work on Sky Q?

Disney Plus isn’t an app on Sky Q that you open up; it works the same as Netflix.

Disney Plus is now integrated into Sky Q so you can just search content alongside your Sky choices. Easy peasy!

If you’ve already bought Disney Plus, you should be able to log in on the Sky Q box, but it won’t show up in the same way.
