I really don’t know why Virgin have to take such a long time negotiating these deals, but I’m sure we will get the service eventually.
As TalkTalk and BT don't have it either, I suggest that it's probably something more than just VM dragging its heels..

Disney + launched in the UK on 31 March 2020.

Six months' as a Sky exclusive would have seen it available on other pay TV platforms this month which as you say would have been a smooth handover when the linear channels closed.

However, I suspect Disney are quite happy for customers to sign up directly without paying any sign-up commission to VM.

My thinking is next year now and possibly on 31 March again for a launch on VM.
