The day has finally arrived and the Premier League is about to kick off again on our screens - if we are all paying for the right subscription service , that is. Long gone are the days of free to air top flight footy in the UK, and in 2024 you can’t actually watch every single match on just one service. While TNT Sports (formerly BT Sport) and Amazon will show select matches throughout the season, it’s Sky Sports that will show the majority of matches and the one I think it makes most sense to go for.
However, it can be quite daunting to sign up to a Sky TV contract just to get Sky Sports. You often have to sign up to pay for at least 18 months, and if you only really want to catch the football then it can get quite expensive paying for a Sky box, satellite installation, and hundreds of other Sky channels that come with the package that you may not ever watch. Sky currently has a deal on where you can get Sky TV with Sky Sports and Netflix for £43 per month for 24 months, which the provider is advertising as its “lowest price”.
The bundle is for Sky Stream, which unlike Sky Q and other traditional Sky services, doesn’t work over satellite. Instead, the Sky Stream box runs over your home broadband connection to, you guessed it, stream content onto your telly. Throwing in a Netflix subscription along with Sky TV for £43 isn’t too bad a deal given you also get Sky Sports.
But I think I have a better way to watch Sky Sports that doesn’t get you stuck in a contract.
