Virgin Media has revived its popular TV giveaway, offering a free 43-inch LG Ultra HD smart TV valued at £249.99 to new customers who sign up for select TV and broadband packages. The promotion is timed for the FIFA World Cup knockout stages, providing football fans with an upgraded home viewing experience.
How to Claim the Free LG TV
New customers can choose from four Virgin TV and broadband bundles: Cinema, Sport, Sport + Cinema, and Max Volt. Each package includes over 200 TV channels, Netflix Standard with Adverts, and fibre broadband. After signing up, customers can opt for the free LG TV or a £125 bill credit. The deal ends at 11:59pm on Wednesday, July 1.
Bundle Details and Pricing
The Cinema bundle costs £47.99 per month and includes Sky Cinema channels and 362Mbps broadband. The Sport bundle at £57.99 per month offers Sky Sports with coverage of the Premier League, EFL, and Formula 1. The Sport + Cinema bundle combines both for £67.99 per month with 516Mbps broadband. The top-tier Max Volt bundle at £79.99 per month includes all channels, 1,130Mbps broadband, and an unlimited O2 SIM card.
Price Increases and Switching
Virgin Media will increase prices annually, with most packages rising by £4 from April 2027 and the Max Volt bundle increasing by £6.50. The new One Touch Switch scheme simplifies the process, allowing customers to switch without contacting their old provider.

My other half is very happy because he can watch football without any frustrating buffering.” Another added: “We’ve been with Virgin Media for a year and are very pleased with the service, it’s been fantastic to have all the sports channels as we love football. I was able to get a great deal, 10 out of 10.” Some reviewers noted installation delays, but one reported: “Great installation, minimum disruption, engineers all friendly and quick.”
