No one knows what Sky may lose when Disney+ launches - it's quite likely Disney+ won't have the same content as the US. Several reports that the Simpsons may not be on that service, for example.This is very interesting but make no mistake - this atypical / recent penchant for Sky announcements is because they will lose masses of content to Disney when Disney+ launches next month eg Disney animation, Pixar, Disney Channels, Star Wars etc and are trying to avoid addressing the issue of whether a fee reduction would be inappropriate.
I believe their current contract ends some time this year. VERY unlikely that Disney will sell their content to Sky after it ends. Likely they will sign a carriage deal for D+ to be on Sky Q ala Netflix.No one knows what Sky may lose when Disney+ launches - it's quite likely Disney+ won't have the same content as the US.

Toy Story 4 has just premiered on Sky Cinema, so is likely to be on that service for a while. They're also including the new Aladdin and Lion King in the Sky adverts, so it seems likely Disney content will be on that platform too (for a while anyway).

HBO/Warner content etc will continue to be on Sky as they recently announced a new deal - Sky extends partnership with WarnerMedia
Yeah, as I said. But at least there's now the option to view Disney content without the need for a Sky subscription.As sky appear to have done a deal with disney in using their app, same as with netflix and presumably with a additional subscription, I doubt very much is they will be concerned with the competition at all. Disney Plus UK release date, price, deals, Sky Q integration and what we know
Sky probably brought the 'for life' rights to The Simpsons. Having said that though, not a huge loss for D+. It's not been great for a while.I'd say there's at least a year to run on the current Disney deal and that quite a lot of content will remain with Sky after that - The Simpsons officially won't be available to watch on Disney+
