Sky TV has emerged as one of the leading television providers in the UK. While any long-term plan adds up over time, the best Sky TV deals and plans can keep your spending 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, which means that you can stream your viewing options over WiFi without any extra hardware. Some deals offer you Sky's lowest ever price, while other plans are just handy bundles. All options throw in access to ad-supported Netflix and Discovery Plus, and some bundles 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 deals 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 that require a satellite dish or other equipment. If you'd prefer to browse plans at your own leisure, you can head directly to Sky TV's deals page.
FAQ
How can you watch Sky TV?
Sky TV is available across a variety of devices, so you're not just confined to watching on your TV at home. The Sky Go app, for on-the-go streaming, is available on phones, tablets, and laptops.
What channels are in the base packs?
All the Sky TV plans we've highlighted include one of the two base packs, either Sky Essential or Sky Ultimate. Sky Essential includes Sky Atlantic (plus Netflix and Discovery Plus) and over 100 other channels. Sky Ultimate carries everything found in Sky Essential, in addition to more than 30 premium channels (such as Sky Max and Sky Witness). Ultimate also offers access to Disney Plus, HBO Max, and Hayu.
Are there other Sky TV deals?
Sky also has several deals when you bundle broadband and TV. The broadband deals offer anywhere from 150 to 900 Mbps full fibre broadband 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 a necessity for both the Sky Stream puck and Sky Glass TV. Sky recommends a minimum speed of 25Mbps. This minimum requirement could change depending on your desired package. Watching in UHD or adding an extra Sky Stream puck device will bring that minimum up to at least 30Mbps.
