Some Sky TV users get surprise upgrade this week with more things to watch for free

There's a surprise change coming to Sky this week, with the return of some hugely popular children's shows. It was all the way back in 2020 that a number of Disney channels were ditched from Sky's with this premium content moving over to streaming platforms instead. Now, one service is returning with Sky, confirming that Disney Jr. is making a comeback on November 13.

That update means those with a Sky Kids package will be able to watch shows such as Mickey Mouse Clubhouse+, Marvel's Spidey and his Amazing Friends, Bluey and RoboGobo without having to pay anything extra. It's a big boost that adds hours of extra content to devices, including Sky Glass and Sky Q.

"Sky is turning up the fun with arrival of Disney Jr. - a kids' TV channel packed with shows for children aged 2-6, available from the 13 November as part of the Sky Kids package," Sky explained.

"The channel joins Sky Kids, which gives families 24/7 access to top kids' TV shows full of on-screen heroes. With the addition of Disney Jr., it offers families 10 fun filled live channels, including the ad-free Sky Kids channel, Nick Jr., and Cartoon Network, plus kids' shows on demand."

Disney Jr. will be available to watch with the Sky Kids pack via the TV guide or on demand on all Sky devices (Sky Glass, Sky Stream, Sky Q and Sky+) as well as the Sky Go app. Disney Jr. content will also continue to be available to stream on Disney+.

New customers can add Sky Kids to the Sky Essential TV or Ultimate TV pack from £8 a month.
