Sky Sports has quietly increased the price of its flagship sports package from £22 to £24 per month for existing customers adding it to their Sky TV subscription, a 9% rise worth £48 per year. The change comes just a week before the Premier League returns following the international break.
Cheaper option for new customers
Some customers can get the same Sky Sports package cheaper by pairing it with a Sky Stream TV plan. When taken with the £15 Essential TV bundle, Sky Sports works out at £20 per month, for a total monthly cost of £35.
This price is only available to new Sky customers and comes on a 24-month contract. The same £20 rate applies when adding Sky Sports to TV and broadband bundles like the £35 Essential TV and 900Mbps Full Fibre Gigafast Broadband, which currently comes with 12 times faster speeds (vs 75Mbps) for no extra cost.
Bundles and coverage
The £41 Ultimate TV and 900Mbps Full Fibre Gigafast Broadband bundle also includes HBO Max, Disney+ and Hayu. Sky is the home of the Premier League in the UK, with 80% of all televised games shown across its dedicated channels.
An introductory offer for Sky's Essential TV and Sky Sports bundle is priced at £35, saving £384 compared to the standard price, and includes at least 215 live Premier League clashes across the 2026/27 season, with more than 1,500 games from the EFL and beyond, plus F1, golf and darts. Every package also provides 100 regular channels alongside free Netflix and discovery+ subscriptions.
These are part of around 1,500 matches to be shown this season alongside the EFL, Carabao Cup, WSL and Bundesliga. Across Sky's nine sport channels are also every practice, qualifier and race from Formula 1, plus golf, tennis, cricket, darts and NFL.
Upcoming fixtures and alternatives
Still to come this year is Man United vs Tottenham Hotspur (October 10) and Liverpool vs Man City (October 11), plus the Las Vegas Grand Prix (November 22) and the 2027 PDC World Darts Championship (December 11). With Netflix included in Sky's TV bundles, customers can also watch the long-awaited Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua (December 11) at no extra cost.
Elsewhere, Virgin Media offers Sky Sports with its own Sport bundle, but this comes in at a higher £52.99. Virgin says this is the 'lowest ever price' for this package, which includes more than 200 channels, 516Mbps broadband and full Sky Sports coverage.
Neither Sky nor Virgin broadcast UEFA Champions League or Europa League games, with TNT Sports and Amazon's Prime Video holding the rights for these competitions. As for Sky, many customers have been sharing their experience with the brand on Trustpilot, where some have praised its 'brilliant service'.
One says: “Joined Sky Stream, brilliant service and never had any problems. A lot has changed in 40 years when dishes had to be installed. Now done over WiFi.”
Another says: “Got a great deal for Sky Sports and broadband. We even got Disney+ and Netflix included. Saved so much money switching to Sky.”
Others reported drops in service from their broadband, as this reviewer said: “Recently joined Sky fibre broadband and Essential TV. The transfer went smoothly and was easy to set up. Unfortunately I am not very happy with my broadband which frequently drops out.”
While this customer said: “Engineer came out to upgrade our broadband, he was very polite and efficient and was very helpful and friendly.”
