Football fans looking to upgrade their TV setup for the World Cup have less than two days to take advantage of Sky's latest discount. The company is offering its Sky Glass Air TV for just £4.50 per month, providing a cheaper way to access Sky TV.
Deal Details and Pricing
This represents a 20% price cut, but the offer ends on Wednesday, June 17, 2026. Paying £4.50 per month gets buyers a 43-inch Sky Glass Air television, which integrates Sky directly into the TV, eliminating the need for a separate set-top box. In addition to the TV cost, customers must pay at least £15 per month for Sky services, making the minimum monthly bill £19.50.
For those wanting a larger screen, the 55-inch Glass Air is available for £7.75 per month, and the 65-inch model for £10.25. All options require a 48-month contract, which covers an interest-free loan to pay off the TV cost. After four years, the TV is owned outright.
Alternative Payment and Features
The TV can also be paid for upfront, with the ongoing requirement for a monthly Sky content subscription. Sky promotes its Glass as “the TV designed for football,” with options to subscribe to Sky Sports on various plans. However, every World Cup match in the UK is broadcast free-to-air on BBC or ITV, so viewers can watch via the programme guide on the Sky Glass Air's 4K UHD Quantum Dot Display.
The TV includes two built-in speakers with Dolby Audio and smart technology that automatically adjusts screen settings based on content. Like the pricier Sky Glass Gen 2, the Air model features Real Time, a low-latency mode aimed at reducing streaming delay for live sports. Since Sky Glass relies on broadband rather than satellite, streaming delays can occur, but Real Time minimizes this lag for BBC and ITV streams.
Comparison and Expert Review
The Sky Glass sale coincides with its TV and Broadband combo offer, which includes 900Mbps broadband speeds. Express.co.uk technology editor Dave Snelling described the Sky Glass Air as “almost a blockbuster hit,” praising its simple setup, decent picture quality, and reduced starting price of £4.50 per month. He noted occasional connectivity issues and found the two speakers “lacklustre.” The Sky Glass Gen 2 offers a better display and seven speakers with a built-in soundbar, available from £11 per month as part of the offer.
Alternatively, football fans who already have access to BBC and ITV and simply want a better TV can consider Amazon's Ember 43-inch 4-Series TV with Fire TV OS, currently discounted to £229.99 from £429.99 in an Early Prime Day Deal.
