Get ready for a major treat, Sky TV users! A surprise upgrade is rolling out this week, bringing back a beloved favorite and unlocking a treasure trove of free content for families. But here’s where it gets exciting: after a three-year absence, Disney Jr. is making a triumphant return to Sky on November 13th, reigniting the magic for kids and parents alike. Remember back in 2020 when Disney channels vanished from Sky, migrating to streaming platforms? Well, this marks a significant shift, as one of those cherished channels is reclaiming its spot on traditional TV.
For those subscribed to the Sky Kids package, this means a massive content boost at no extra cost. Imagine your little ones diving into hours of ad-free entertainment with shows like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse+, Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends, Bluey, and RoboGobo—all accessible on devices like Sky Glass and Sky Q. It’s a win-win for families craving variety without the hassle of additional subscriptions.
But here’s the part most people miss: While Disney Jr. rejoins the lineup, its content remains available on Disney+ too. This dual availability raises an interesting question: Is this a strategic move by Sky to compete with streaming giants, or simply a nod to viewers who prefer traditional TV? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
Sky’s official statement sums it up perfectly: “Sky is turning up the fun with the arrival of Disney Jr.—a kids’ TV channel packed with shows for children aged 2-6, available from November 13th as part of the Sky Kids package.” This addition expands Sky Kids’ offerings to 10 live channels, including Nick Jr., Cartoon Network, and the ad-free Sky Kids channel, plus a vast on-demand library.
And this is where it gets controversial: With streaming services dominating the market, is Sky’s move to reintroduce linear channels like Disney Jr. a step backward or a smart play to cater to diverse viewing habits? Share your take below!
For new customers, adding Sky Kids to the Sky Essential TV or Ultimate TV pack starts at just £8 per month—a small price for endless entertainment. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming:
