Sky TV and Broadband Deals 2026: Best Packages and Current Offers

Last checked: 11 August 2026

Best Sky TV and broadband deals right now

These are the headline new-customer offers shown by Sky when we checked on 11 August 2026.

Step 1: Essential or Ultimate TV?

Choosing the correct television package is more important than automatically buying the biggest bundle.

For the detailed channel and streaming-service breakdown, read our Sky TV Packages guide.

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.

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.

What are the best Sky TV, broadband and Sports deals?

Sports viewers currently have two particularly clear bundle options in Sky's featured offers.

The important point is that you do not need Ultimate TV simply because you want Sky Sports.

Someone whose viewing is mainly Premier League football, Formula 1 and a few core entertainment programmes could save money by taking Essential and adding Sports rather than paying for Ultimate content they rarely watch.

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.

How the claim works

1. Order an eligible Sky service.
2. Receive the final bill from your previous provider.
3. Pay the qualifying termination charges.
4. Keep evidence showing what was charged and that it was paid.
5. Submit the required proof to Sky.
6. 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.

Seven things to check before ordering a Sky bundle

Are the current Sky TV and broadband deals good value?

At the prices available when we checked, yes — some of the current bundles are unusually competitive.

The key offers are the 900Mbps bundles.

Essential TV with 900Mbps Full Fibre at £35 a month costs the same headline amount Sky is currently showing for Essential with 150Mbps. Ultimate follows the same pattern at £41 a month.

That changes our usual advice. Normally, we would tell most households that 900Mbps is unnecessary and that paying extra for it provides limited benefit. When the faster package is available at effectively the same promotional monthly price, the decision is very different.

Ultimate + 900Mbps at £41 is particularly strong for a household that would otherwise pay independently for services such as Netflix, Disney+ or HBO Max.

But the most important word is current. These are promotional offers, Gigafast availability depends on location, and Sky says prices may change during the minimum term.

Our approach would therefore be: check 900Mbps availability first, compare it against the 150Mbps price at your address, choose Essential or Ultimate according to what you genuinely watch, and then add premium services only where they provide real value.
