WHAT IS COST OF SKY SPORTS EXTRA PACKAGE ?

lavillegour — Mon, 09 Dec 2024 10:57:03 GMT

I currently pay for sky sports and TNT sport.

I am mainly interested in cricket and rugby.

Premiership Sports have just taken over Investec Rugby which used to be covered by TNT.

It seems that there is a new sky package known as SKY SPORTS EXTRA which apparently covers sky sports, TNT, AND Premiership sports.

Sky sports currently cost me £53.00 per month.

Premiership sports alone seems to cost £10.99 pm.

WOULD SKY SPORTS EXTRA PACKAGE give me sky sports, TNT, and Premiership sports ? HOW MUCH IS IT ???

hi @lavillegour

I am not too sure if you have misunderstood some marketing page

As far as I am aware SKY Sports Extra is only a term for Extra Sports available via streaming to customers who have the Full SKY Sports pack add on

I am not aware of any package that includes SKY Sports & TNT Sports combined - although I could be wrong

We do know that some of the marketing has been a little unclear with what is is actually included and have sometimes emphasised the ability to watch in one place rather making it clear separate subscriptions may be needed

Perhaps you could give a link to where you have seen the info

@lavillegour I believe there is a Sports package available in Ireland only that includes TNT and Premier Sports. As you quote prices in £ I assume that you're in the UK?

As mentioned in post above, the Sky Sports Extra package that offers TNT sports and Premier sports combined is a Sky Ireland only offering.

In the UK, you will have to buy TNT and Premier Sports seperatly as add on packs on top of your Sky package and/or Sky Sports.

@nigea99 You are thinking of the Sky Sports+ offering, that provides a channel and an app on Sky Q and Sky Glass/Stream that provides extra internet streams of Sky Sports rights only content ( not TNT or Premier Sport).

Sky Sports package customers can also view the Sky Sports+ content on the IOS and Android Sky Sports app.

Thanks to all that offered advice. As I am an Old Bloke of 86 rugby years behind me with plenty of time on my hands I have been scouring the internet and have concluded that one must keep up with the various commercial activities that operate in all sports that are available on TV. I now understand that TNT (to whom I subscribe ) no longer offer Investec matches (thereby - in my opinion - reducing their subscription offerings whilst maintaining the price) - Good business practice Eh ? O.K. that is the market. However as currently a SKY 'subscriber' I do find their website (as has been mentioned) with Marketing Blurb extremely hard to understand - as it is with the pricing structure . - Well perhaps that is deliberate too ? It looks as though I must either watch strictly come dancing (Ergh...) or cough up another £100.00 pa or so from my pension...... Or I suppose I could move to Ireland ?

Apologies for being a miserable Old Sod but life is sometimes 'Ard Ain't It ?

I wish you all a Rugby Free Christmas ...!

Used to enjoy international rugby and cricket but now its gone. Only have F1 left. Cannot afford TNT as well but if I cancel Sky Sports can I watch F1 anywhere else?
