Sky TV has become one of the UK’s leading television providers. While any long-term plan adds up over time, the best Sky TV deals and plans can keep your expenses to a minimum.
We’ve rounded up some of the best Sky TV deals and plans that are active at the time of writing. These plans feature Sky Stream, meaning you can stream your viewing options over WiFi without any additional hardware. Some deals give you the lowest Sky price, while other plans are just useful bundles. All options provide access to ad-supported Netflix and Discovery Plus, and some packages also include HBO Max, Disney Plus, and Hayu.
Just keep in mind that most Sky plans and services are available through long-term contracts (usually 24-month commitments), so it’s important to read the fine print before signing up. Sky’s website notes that prices may change during the 24-month contract. Most offers only apply to new Sky TV customers.
Sky TV also offers a ‘build your own’ option, with plans starting at £15 a month and other packages requiring a satellite dish or other equipment. If you prefer to browse plans at your own pace, you can head straight to the Sky TV deals page.
Frequently asked questions
How can you watch Sky TV?
Sky TV is available on a variety of devices, so you’re not limited to watching the TV at home. The Sky Go app, for streaming on the go, is available on phones, tablets and laptops.
What channels are in the basic packages?
All of the Sky TV plans we’ve highlighted include one of two basic packages, Sky Essential or Sky Ultimate. Sky Essential includes Sky Atlantic (plus Netflix and Discovery Plus) and over 100 other channels. Sky Ultimate offers everything found in Sky Essential, plus over 30 premium channels (such as Sky Max and Sky Witness). Ultimate also offers access to Disney Plus, HBO Max and Hayu.
Are there any other Sky TV deals?
Sky also has several offers when you combine broadband and TV. Broadband deals offer full fiber broadband from 150 to 900Mbps with Sky Essential or Sky Ultimate TV (plus other add-ons such as Sky Sports or Sky Cinema and various streaming services). Prices range from £35 to £41 a month.
Do you need broadband to use Sky?
A broadband connection is required for both the Sky Stream disc and Sky Glass TV. Sky recommends a minimum speed of 25Mbps. This minimum requirement could change depending on the package you want. Watching in UHD or adding an additional Sky Stream drive device will increase that minimum to at least 30Mbps.
