How do I get Sky Sports?
As Sky Sports is so popular, there are several different ways to get it.
Of course, you can sign up to Sky TV to get Sky Sports. Other major TV providers – BT and Virgin Media – also let you bundle Sky Sports channels with their TV packages.
Alternatively, NOW TV’s Sports Membership is a more affordable and flexible way of getting Sky Sports. It works like a subscription streaming service – you simply buy the membership for one month or one day, and stream Sky Sports using your home broadband.
You can get NOW TV along with a NOW Broadband or TalkTalk package. Otherwise, anyone can purchase a NOW Sports Membership easily.

What else can I get with Sky?
As well as excellent sports coverage, Sky has plenty of other services going for it. It’s a ‘quad-play’ provider, meaning that you can bundle broadband with TV, landline and mobile services.
For starters, there’s a good range of broadband deals, from standard ADSL broadband to Sky Gigafast with average download speeds of 900Mbps.
Sky’s TV options are some of the best you can get, too. Not only is Sky home to leading sports broadcasting, but it also has plenty of award-winning original entertainment. Sky Atlantic boasts HBO and original shows, while Sky Cinema includes a sizeable selection of blockbusters, courtesy of Paramount+.
You can choose to get Sky TV either with the Sky Q set top box (satellite dish required), or with the Sky Glass TV.

Finally, Sky Mobile offers some attractive perks for existing Sky TV customers, such as data-free streaming via the Sky TV app.

Can I get Sky Sports and TNT Sports together?
Absolutely – sports lovers will be pleased to hear that most major providers let you take both Sky Sports and TNT Sports (formerly BT Sport) in one package.
Sky, BT and Virgin all offer TV plans that include both Sky Sports and TNT Sports.
Bear in mind that you’ll need to pay a premium price to get Sky Sports and TNT Sports together, as they’re both the top two sports broadcasters in the UK.
Can I get Sky Sports with no contract?
Yes, you can. While the big providers require you to sign up to 18-month or 24-month contracts, NOW TV lets you get Sky Sports with no contract.
The NOW Sports Membership costs £34.99 a month and can be cancelled whenever you like. For those looking for a more affordable and flexible option, this rolling 30-day deal is the best way to watch Sky Sports right now.
Is there an alternative to Sky Sports?
Sky Sports’ major competitor is TNT Sports (previously known as BT Sport). It offers Premier League matches (though fewer than Sky Sports), UEFA Champions League and Europa League, UFC, the Heineken Champions Cup and Gallagher Premiership Rugby, among others. You can subscribe through Discovery+ for £29.99 a month, or it’s available through Sky, BT and Virgin Media’s TV services.
Discovery+ is also home to Eurosport, which shows cycling, tennis snooker and motorsports (among other sports). Eurosport is available as part of Discovery+ without TNT Sports for £6.99 a month, or it’s included in TNT Sports’ £29.99-a-month price.
The streamers are also getting more into live sport, though only in a limited way. Amazon Prime Video offers some Premier League games (20 in the 2023/24 season), the ATP Tour and US Open, while Apple TV+ shows MLB Friday Night Baseball.
Can you get Sky Sports deals for existing customers?
All TV providers offer Sky Sports deals to existing customers, whether that’s the opportunity to add Sky Sports to your current plan or even bag a discount or freebie. However, these can vary depending on how long you’ve been with your provider and your existing package.
The best way to check is to contact them directly or log onto their website to see what’s on offer.
To give an example, Sky is always running and changing promotions for its existing customers. It’s well worth checking its website regularly, to see if you can get in on the action and score a deal in the process.
