The companies plan member benefits, video projects and live-event collaborations that connect streaming with visits to the park.

Universal+ will launch on U-NEXT on October 1, 2026, when the strategic partnership begins. The companies say their joint projects will roll out in stages. That start date doesn’t mean a new member benefit will be available at the park immediately.

The partners also plan initiatives using Cinema 4-D Theater, which U-NEXT sponsors.

The park is celebrating under the “Discover U!!!” theme.

U-NEXT carries films, dramas and anime, as well as live performances and sports. It also offers books and manga in the same app.
