Sky TV and Broadband Deals 2026: Best Packages and Current Offers
Last checked: 29 September 2026
Today's Sky TV and broadband deals start from £32 a month
Sky's live TV and broadband page currently shows Essential TV with 150Mbps Full Fibre for £32 a month, or Essential TV with 900Mbps Full Fibre Gigafast for £35 a month.
Ultimate TV with 900Mbps Full Fibre is currently £41 a month. Sky also shows Ultimate with 150Mbps at £41, making the 900Mbps option the stronger headline deal where both are available.
Switchking's standout: Essential TV with 900Mbps Full Fibre for £35 a month. It is only £3 more than the current £32 Essential 150 offer, while Ultimate 900 is the better fit for households that will use its larger entertainment and streaming bundle.

Compare Ultimate optionsOur current pick: Essential TV + 900Mbps Full Fibre for £35 a month
This is the strongest pure value comparison on Sky's current bundle page.
Essential 900 costs only £3 more than the £32 Essential 150 headline offer. That does not mean every household needs 900Mbps, but the small current price difference makes the faster tier easier to justify where it is available.
Ultimate 900 at £41 remains our better pick for a household that will genuinely use Disney+, HBO Max, Hayu, discovery+ and the wider Sky entertainment selection.
The important qualification: broadband availability is address specific, prices may change during the minimum term, and the cheapest technical solution is still Essential 150 if 150Mbps comfortably covers the home.
Step 1: Essential or Ultimate TV?
Choosing the correct television package is more important than automatically buying the biggest bundle.
Sky Essential TV
Best for: keeping the bundle price low while retaining the core Sky streaming experience.
- Sky Atlantic
- Netflix Standard with Ads
- discovery+
- Core Sky entertainment
- Can still add Sports and Cinema
Essential is especially attractive for households that already have enough entertainment from Netflix, terrestrial television and a small number of streaming apps.
Sky Ultimate TV
Best for: households that will genuinely use the additional entertainment channels and streaming services.
- Everything in Essential
- Additional Sky entertainment channels
- Netflix Standard with Ads
- Disney+ Standard with Ads
- HBO Max Basic with Ads
- Selected Hayu content
At the current bundle prices, moving from Essential to Ultimate increases the headline monthly cost by £6 on the comparable 900Mbps offers.

Step 2: how much broadband speed do you actually need?
Sky sells several Full Fibre speeds. Faster is useful, but most households do not need multi-gigabit broadband simply to watch television.
Plenty for browsing, video calls, HD streaming, home working and multiple everyday devices.
Useful where several people regularly stream, work, download and play games at the same time.
A strong option for larger households, multiple 4K streams and frequent large downloads.
Best suited to large households, big downloads, competitive gaming and lots of simultaneously active devices.
Will 150Mbps run Sky Stream?
Very comfortably in normal circumstances.
Sky's own Streaming TV broadband recommendation is far below 150Mbps, so the reason to choose 500 or 900Mbps is generally the wider household rather than the Sky Stream puck itself.
A 900Mbps connection becomes more useful when several people are simultaneously:
- Watching 4K video
- Downloading very large games
- Using cloud backup services
- Working from home
- Video calling
- Gaming online
- Using multiple streaming televisions
Our Sky Broadband review explains the broadband range in much greater detail.
How much does Sky Sports add to a TV and broadband bundle?
Sky Sports is not included with Essential or Ultimate TV. Sky's current published terms show Sky Sports Complete at £31 a month extra when taken on a 24-month minimum term alongside an eligible Streaming TV subscription.
The standard price is currently shown as £33 a month outside that minimum-term offer, and Sky notes that offers may apply. Your complete bundle price can therefore differ from a simple base-price calculation.
| Starting TV choice | Current Sports add-on | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Essential TV | £31pm extra | Sports viewers who do not need Ultimate's wider entertainment bundle |
| Ultimate TV | £31pm extra | Households wanting live sport plus the larger entertainment and streaming package |
The important point is that you do not need Ultimate TV simply because you want Sky Sports. Start with the TV package you actually want, add Sports, then compare the complete live checkout total.
Read our Sky Sports guide for the channel, package and viewing-options breakdown.
What about Sky Cinema?
Sky Cinema can be added to eligible TV packages, but it is not necessary to choose Ultimate simply to obtain Cinema.
Before adding it, consider how your household currently watches films.
If you already pay for several services such as Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video and HBO Max, adding another film subscription may provide less incremental value than it appears.
Cinema becomes easier to justify when:
- You regularly watch new films through Sky
- The bundled price is significantly discounted
- You would otherwise rent several films each month
- The household genuinely uses the Cinema channels
The correct comparison is the total monthly bundle after Cinema is added, not the size of the discount displayed next to the add-on.
Is it cheaper to bundle Sky TV and broadband?
It can be, particularly during a strong promotional period like the current one.
The present £35 Essential + 900Mbps and £41 Ultimate + 900Mbps offers demonstrate why it is worth checking the combined deal before ordering TV and broadband independently.
Bundling can provide:
- Promotional package pricing
- One provider for TV and broadband
- One account to manage
- Potential switching credit on both services
- Simpler support when the Sky streaming service depends on broadband
But one bill does not automatically mean better value
You should still compare Sky's bundle against alternatives such as:
- Sky TV with another fibre provider
- NOW with standalone broadband
- EE TV and BT Broadband
- Virgin Media bundles
- Freeview or Freely plus streaming subscriptions
A bundle is valuable when the complete price is competitive for services you genuinely need — not simply because they appear on one bill.
Can Sky pay your old provider's exit fees?
Sky currently offers switching credit when a qualifying customer moves TV, broadband or both services from another provider.
Up to £300 switching credit
Sky does not simply cancel the old bill for you. You normally pay the qualifying charges to the previous provider first and then claim the appropriate account credit from Sky.
How the claim works
- Order an eligible Sky service.
- Receive the final bill from your previous provider.
- Pay the qualifying termination charges.
- Keep evidence showing what was charged and that it was paid.
- Submit the required proof to Sky.
- Make the claim within Sky's stated time limit.
Sky currently requires proof to be provided within 90 days of the new Sky services being activated.
How long are the current Sky TV and broadband contracts?
The featured TV and broadband offers are currently based around 24-month minimum terms.
That makes the headline monthly figure only one part of the buying decision.
Prices may change during the contract
Sky explicitly states on its current bundle offers that prices may change during the 24-month contract or minimum term.
Before ordering, check:
- The starting monthly price
- Which services are discounted
- The minimum-term length
- Any scheduled or permitted price changes
- What each service costs when a discount ends
- Setup or activation costs
- Early termination conditions
What equipment do you get with the TV bundle?
Sky's modern TV and broadband bundles are primarily built around Sky Streaming TV rather than automatically providing a traditional Sky Q satellite box.
With Sky Stream, the television service is delivered through a small puck connected to your existing television by HDMI.
You need:
- A compatible television with HDMI
- Power for the Stream puck
- A reliable broadband connection
- A Sky Streaming TV subscription
Do you own the Stream puck?
Current Sky Stream pucks are loaned equipment. Sky may require them to be returned when the relevant subscription ends.
That is different from Sky Glass, where you purchase the television hardware.
Read our Sky Stream review for the full assessment, or our Sky Stream vs Sky Glass comparison if you are deciding between the two hardware routes.
Which Sky TV and broadband deal should you choose?

View current Sky TV & broadband dealsAre the current Sky TV and broadband deals good value?
At the prices displayed on 29 September 2026, yes — the current Essential and Ultimate bundles are competitive.
Essential TV with 150Mbps Full Fibre is the lowest headline option at £32 a month. Essential 900 at £35 is the more interesting speed-value offer because the jump to Gigafast is currently only £3 a month.
Ultimate 900 at £41 is particularly strong for a household that would otherwise pay independently for Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, Hayu or discovery+ and wants the wider Sky entertainment package.
Most households still do not need 900Mbps purely for television streaming. Its appeal here comes from the promotional price relationship, not from a claim that ordinary streaming requires Gigafast broadband.
Sports buyers should price the complete package in Sky's live basket. The published £31-a-month Sports add-on is useful context, but combination offers can change the final total.
Our approach: check availability, compare Essential 150 with Essential 900, choose Essential or Ultimate according to what you watch, and add premium services only after reviewing the complete 24-month cost.
