How to Access Sky Sports UHD

EamonnOS — Sun, 26 Jul 2026 20:11:25 GMT

Hopefully someone offer some insight on this.

When I first got Sky Stream I had access to Sky Sports UHD channels on numbers 903 and 904 in addition to Sky Sports Main Event UHD and Sky Sports F1 UHD. These showed events from the Sky Sports channels in UHD and were easy to access.

For some reason Sky removed these from the EPG.

Tonght I am watching the Hundred on Sky Sports Cricket and I get no prompt for UHD. The only prompt I see is to watch from the start.

It is available in UHD on Now TV so how are we supposed to see it on Sky Steam?

@EamonnOS If you have the UHD/Atmos addon it's likely the UHD versions have swapped with the HD variants, so moved to the 400s rather than the 900s.

If you subscribe to the UHD add-on then the EPG should automatically switch so 401 becomes Main Event UHD, 407 becomes Sky Sports F1 UHD - these are the only 2 Sky Sports EPG channels that are broadcast in UHD.

I am well aware of that. What I am asking is how to I access the UHD broadcasts of for example the cricket earlier on this evening. This was not on Main Event so there was no UHD coverage on the EPG.

As I said before, there was extra Sky Sports UHD channels on the EPG in the 900's in addition to Sky Sports Main Event and F1 UHD (both of which are on 401 and 407).

Before I would get a prompt for UHD if it was available but I haven't seen one for a long time.

The cricket this evening was in UHD on Now TV so how do I access these extra UHD streams on Sky Stream.

Falkirk v St Mirren is currently on Sky Sports Football and I have no way of seeing it in UHD on Sky Stream even though it's available on Now TV in UHD.

Sky Sports UHD extra channels

Until I recently reset my puck, I had the 3 extra sky sports UHD channels saved as favourites. I believe when I saved them they were on channels 903-5 something like that but they'd long since disappeared. However I could always access them through my favourites (so please don't tell me they don't exist). Wrexham are currently playing on sky sports football and there's rugby league on. Before I lost my favourites both of these would have UHD availability. I've tried going through sport>football to find a UHD feed and on the sky sports football channel. There was no "select for UHD" option nor was it available via the multicolour button. I'd really appreciate someone from Sky responding. There must be a way to add these channels because, as I said, they were accessible easily before I lost my favourites. We pay a lot of money for Sky Sports and the UHD add on and it should be available.

I've found that when watching sky sports football,Premier league or cricket if you press the right button on the remote it gives you the option to watch in ultra hd

I'm having the same issue. Annoyingly I had the spare UHD channels saved as favourites so even they got rid of the channels I'd still be able to access them but I reset my puck recently and they've gone and I'm not getting any prompt. I was at my parents yesterday who have sky q and they get the prompt so seems to be a Sky issue. I've raised my own post but yet to get any responses. Just so annoying as I know the channels are there they're just hidden!

I thought sky have responded to previous posts on here but might be wrong. And my comments were directed at Sky not customers including the '(please don't tell me they don't exist)'. I'm sorry but after speaking to Sky's online chat for days when I got more info from AI, did a reset that I didn't need to do which has caused this issue, I fancied a moan 😅. You don't have to reply.

Is this on Sky Stream? I know it still works on Sky Q but not working on Sky stream anymore.

@Wakey93 The additional spare UHD entries on the TV Guide were removed some time ago, red button/Sky Sports+ app is the current way to select any additional streams.

You're still getting access to all available UHD Live sports content so removal of the spares aren't taking anything away from your subscription as Sky have never said that there would be X amount of additional UHD Live sport streams on the TV Guide.

Sky publish Sky Sport ME UHD, Sky Sport F1 UHD & there is also the additional Sky Sports ME UD Low Latency channel on the TV Guide, therefore you are getting all the channels as per your subscription.

You're also on a streaming platform so if there are no TV Guide entries unlike satellite TV you can't tune these in.

I'm new to Stream but if you add a UHD event from the TV Guide to your playlist (eg Premier League match) it should immediately "series link", so that and all later matches should be in your playlist. I'm not certain it's foolproof but hopefully it should work.

Yes that's been the case for a long time.

As well as bringing up the Watch in Ultra HD link, it will also show the Watch from Start and Real time (previously live sync) links.

The Watch in Ultra HD link will go to either 903/904, that yes once were visible as channels in the tv guide list. Still there, but now hidden as targeted channels on their own.

Afraid, any Cricket UHD will suffer when two football matches like today take up the above Ultra HD channels, along with Sky Sports Main Event UHD.

This must be a new thing ever since the RT channels launched. Either a glitch or intentional I had no idea the press right button menu existed. It alwasy used to be a pop up. But now the only options are watch from start or real time and when you press the middle button it just has watch from start not UHD. So now the right button is the only way to find the hidden UHD channels very unintuative

I think this is currently glitched. The only way to get the hidden UHD channels is press the right button on the remote to see that menu

It's not a glitch, any additional UHD feeds are now accessible via this route, this should allow more content in UHD than with just 2 spare channels, especially if there are a number of sporting events running.
