The new club campaign is approaching quickly, with the Scottish Premiership starting this week and the Premier League following in August. Sky Sports remains the leading destination for live football in the UK, offering at least 215 Premier League matches and much more.
Sky TV packages and pricing
Sky TV's Essential TV package with Sky Sports costs £35 per month with no upfront fees. It includes Sky Stream, Netflix, and Sky Sports, but requires a 24-month contract. Prices may change during that period. Subscribers get over 1,000 EFL fixtures, the full Carabao Cup, a dedicated F1 channel, and comprehensive golf coverage.
Fans can add TNT Sports for an extra £25 per month (fixed for 24 months) to access Champions League, Europa League, and Europa Conference League matches. The first such game is Aston Villa's UEFA Super Cup clash against PSG on Wednesday, 12 August.
The Ultimate TV package starts at £24 per month and includes HBO Max, Netflix, Disney+, discovery+, Hayu, and 135 live channels. Sky Sports can be added for another £20 per month, subject to the same terms.
TNT Sports and other options
TNT Sports will also broadcast selected Premier League fixtures on television and its streaming platform HBO Max. It typically shows one match per gameweek, with Hull vs Man United as the first fixture next season. A separate TNT Sports subscription costs £30.99 via HBO Max or Prime Video's TNT Sports channel.
Alternatively, fans can purchase hospitality tickets for opening fixtures through Seat Unique.
