Sky Sports is home to the Premier League, Formula 1, boxing, cricket, and more. But a full Sky Sports package can cost £40–£60 per month on top of your broadband. Here are the best alternatives to watch every game without the sky-high price tag.
Option 1: Now TV (Sky's Streaming Service)
Now TV offers Sky Sports as a day pass (£14.99) or monthly membership (£34.99). There are no contracts and you can cancel anytime. It's the legitimate Sky option for people who don't want a full satellite subscription. The app works on most devices.
Option 2: TNT Sports via BT / Discovery+
TNT Sports (formerly BT Sport) carries Champions League, Europa League, UFC, and some Premier League matches. It's available via BT broadband, EE, or directly through Discovery+ Sport. Monthly costs are lower than Sky — around £29.99 standalone.
Option 3: IPTV with All Sports Channels
A quality IPTV subscription includes every Sky Sports channel, TNT Sports, BT Sport, and international sports channels in a single package — typically for £7–£10 per month. This covers Premier League, Championship, F1, boxing, cricket, and much more. Setup works on Firestick, Smart TV, or your phone.
Option 4: Free-to-Air Channels
Don't overlook free options. Channel 4 has F1 highlights and some live races. BBC Sport streams selected live events. ITV shows Six Nations rugby. These are free with any internet connection via their respective apps.
Verdict
If you watch sport casually, Now TV day passes are great. If you're a regular sports viewer, an IPTV subscription gives you everything — all sports channels, all in 4K — for a fraction of the cost of Sky.
