Do I still require UHD Sub ?

Good evening all.

it's that time of the year again when I shall be thinking about subscribing to the Sky Sports Prem league channel. To my knowledge this is £18 per month on a rolling contract. I know I can call Sky to activate this , however I see I can press the red button on the channel & subscribe this way too. Now this seems the quickest way , however it does state that separate UHD sub required if you want to watch it UHD. Now I believe this to be £6 per month ,

Now the thing is , I must already have the UHD sub as I can watch UHD downloads & content on Atlantic & Max etc. I don't have , nor want movies.

Now the fact I obviously have this sub by sheer nature that I'm currently watching UHD content. , my question is , does this cover Prem League sports channel , or is there yet another UHD sub for sports on top of UHD for entertainment.

I don't want to press the red button & do it only to then find out I can only watch HD Prem matches , or if I call Sky I would like to have an idea.

Appreciate any clarification from Sky or others that have been or are in the same situation.

Many thanks.

There is only one UHD subscription. If you have it then there's not another for Sports.

Many thanks got your reply.

Even though I already have the UHD subscription , would this be sufficient for just the Prem Football channel , or do I have to take all Sports.

All I want is the one Prem footy channel at £18 pm & not have to pay the UHD £6 for this as I already have it.

Sky do not make this clear.

THe UHD sub does not give you any access to any specific channel / or on demand - it allows whatever other subscription you have to be in UHD format (rather than just HD)

You need either the Full SKY Sports sub or a SKY Football Sub (although I don't know what specifically is available for football as I don't follow it) for the Premier League Football - you can get Football on its own but as I say I am not too sure what (they do try to get everyone to sign up to the full sports pack)
