Virgin Media cuts Sky Sports bundle price ahead of Premier League

Virgin Media has reduced the price of its flagship Sport bundle to £52.99 per month, down from £56.99, as part of a Summer of Sport sale running until September 9. The deal, which saves £96 over the 24-month contract, is available ahead of the 2026/27 Premier League season, which kicks off on Friday, August 21.

What the bundle includes

The package includes more than 200 TV channels, nine Sky Sports channels covering the Premier League, EFL, F1, and golf, plus 516Mbps fibre broadband and a free Netflix subscription. New customers must commit to a 24-month contract, but Virgin Media will pay up to £300 to cover early exit fees from another provider.

Virgin Media has announced that Sport bundle customers will see their bills rise to £56.99 from April 2027 and £60.99 from April 2028.

Customer reviews on Trustpilot are mixed. One five-star review said: “Virgin have been excellent. I’m working from home and struggled initially with poor broadband. Moved to Virgin and haven’t had any issues at all. My other half is also very happy because he can watch football without any frustrating buffering.” Another said: “Really happy with the number of varied TV channels available. I love sports, mainly Premier League football, and am very pleased with the service providing Sky Sports.” A three-star review noted: “The internet just switches off midway watching a film or football match, it is very frustrating.”
