Sky Sports available to sports fans nationwide from Thursday 8 August, as EFL opening weekend kicks offNew customers can now get Sky Sports, Sky TV & Netflix for lowest price ever of £43pmMonday 5 August 2024
From Thursday 8 August, Sky Sports subscribers can enjoy the new Sky Sports dedicated channel and numerous live streams, offering fans more choice than ever before, all at no extra cost. Hundreds of hours of live sport will be available to stream, with four times as many matches from the EFL and all 72 teams featured over 20 times a season.
Sky Sports will simply drop into the existing Sky experience across Sky Glass, Sky Stream, Sky Q and NOW, so customers don't need to do a thing to enjoy the extra sport.
An exclusive offer is also available for new customers to get Sky Sports (including Sky Sports ) and Sky TV in Ultra HD, plus Netflix included for the lowest ever price of £43pm. Fans can enjoy an epic summer of sport on Sky Sports and unmissable Sky Originals & Exclusives, and with Netflix included too, customers can keep up with all the action with just one simple subscription*.
The launch of Sky Sports comes in time for the EFL opening weekend, with every game from across the Championship, League One and League Two streamed live, a first in broadcasting history. On Saturday 10 August, fans can look forward to 30 matches across all three divisions broadcast either on Sky Sports linear channels or streamed via Sky Sports . The first game of the season on Friday 9 August will also be broadcast on Sky Showcase and Soccer Saturday will air on Sky Mix** and Sky Showcase, adding to the excitement for all Sky customers at the start of the football season.
In anticipation of the weekends action, an EFL season preview show will air on Thursday 8 August, at 6pm. Hosts David Prutton, Don Goodman, Jobi McAnuff and Andy Hinchcliffe will provide the latest analysis and predictions for the upcoming clashes across all divisions.
Beyond live sport, Sky Sports will also give customers exclusive access to Sky's popular sports documentaries at least two weeks before anyone else. This starts with Mission to Burnley 2, available exclusively from Friday 9 August. Following Burnley FC's return to the Premier League last season, the series will provide sports fans with an exclusive insight and a behind-the-scenes look at the action, as Burnley battles to remain in the top tier, facing a tumultuous and challenging end to the season.
Jonathan Licht, Managing Director at Sky Sports, said: "Sky Sports is here, taking sports viewing to the next level by offering unmatched access and choice through numerous live streams and our new dedicated channel. We're showing up for football fans like never before this season, showing every EFL team more than 20 times a season, and this weekend, our viewers can look forward to seeing every EFL game live. Were thrilled to offer this to customers at no extra cost, ensuring they can enjoy even more of the sport they love this summer."
Sky Sports brings a host of exciting new features to enhance the viewing experience for sports fans. With live pause and rewind available on all new live streams, viewers can control their sports-watching experience like never before. The updated user interface makes it easier for fans to browse, discover, and watch their favourite sports, thanks to its refreshed design and improved navigation. Live scores from concurrent events will also be displayed on match tiles, allowing fans to keep up with all the action and help choose which matches to watch. Sky Sports can be found on linear channel number 410 for Sky Glass customers, 412 for Sky Q customers and 416 for ROI.
Mobile users will enjoy new personalisation options to follow their favourite teams and competitions, as well as improved navigation and access to all Sky Sports live streams via event centres.
