Sky Sports is gearing up for a packed summer of sport with a new round of deals. Existing Sky customers can upgrade to Sky Sports for £22 per month, gaining access to all nine dedicated sports channels.
There’s also a cheaper deal for Formula 1 fans, with the Sky Sports F1 subscription dropping from £20 per month to £15 – or 50p per day – just in time for the new season. New customers can still join in on the sporting action with Sky’s new £15 Essential TV and Sky Sports bundle, which also includes over 100 channels like Sky Atlantic, as well as free Netflix and Discovery+ subscriptions.
This latest round of deals comes ahead of a busy month of sport, with the new Formula 1 season set to kick off in Australia on March 16. Sky Sports is the only place to watch every practice, qualifier and race live, with all 24 race weekends broadcast on the dedicated Sky Sports F1 channel.
Fans can follow Lewis Hamilton’s first season at Ferrari after leaving Mercedes, potentially seeing him become the first driver in F1 history to win an eighth world championship. Closer to home, there are some must-see fixtures in the English top flight, with Liverpool and Newcastle squaring off in the Carabao Cup final on March 16.
Sky Sports is set to broadcast a series of crucial Premier League matches, including Man United vs Arsenal on March 9, Bournemouth vs Brentford on March 15 and Arsenal vs Chelsea on March 16. The Old Firm Derby is also scheduled for March 16, reports the Mirror.
These new deals also allow football fans to secure their Sky Sports membership in time for the 2025/26 season. The broadcaster is set to air 215 live games throughout the season, which equates to 80% of all televised Premier League matches, according to Sky.
But it’s not just Premier League action on offer, as Sky Sports also broadcasts more than 1,000 live games across the EFL, SPFL, WSL and Bundesliga. Darts fans can follow Luke Littler as he defends his title in the Premier League Darts, running now until the end of May.
If it’s golf you’re into, Sky is home to must-see events such as the PGA Tour: The Players Championship, The Masters and US Open, while Tennis fans can look forward to the ATP India Wells, WTA Tours and US Open. Looking further ahead, this summer will see some classic cricket ties, including the England vs India Five Test Match Series and England vs South Africa One Day Internationals from June to September.
It’s important to note that a Sky Sports subscription runs for 24 months and requires a new Sky TV contract. One of the only negatives we can see is that the provider also states its prices ‘may change’ during the minimum term, so this is something to consider before purchasing.
Elsewhere, Virgin Media has revived a rival offer that includes a free 4K Hisense smart TV when subscribing to select TV and broadband packages, several of which also include Sky Sports. Prices start at £65.99 per month for the Bigger Combo bundle + Sports, offering more than 200 TV channels with Sky Sports HD, along with 362Mbps fibre broadband.
