Access Denied - Sky Sports.

CFAYin — Sun, 21 Jul 2024 13:42:55 GMT

I have an active SkySports subscription through Sky. However recently, whenever I go to sign into Sky Sports on my PC via the Website, I get an Access Denied error. I've tried clearing the browser cache, restarting the computer and a different browser, but the issues persists. I have no problem signing in via the Sky Sports app on my phone.

This is the error I get:

Access Denied

You don't have permission to access "http://skyid.sky.com/AK_PM_VPATH0/856922/288_Error.html" on this server.

Are you using a VPN? Or are you abroad?

@Ashmore+Family

Are you a paying Sky or Virgin TV customer ?

Have you managed to solve the issue at all? I am experiencing exactly the same issue

You mean exactly the same error message as the original poster? If so the same questions will apply in your case, too.

After couple of attempts I manage to get in. Just to test everything is back to normal I logged out then tried to log back in only to be met with same **bleep** access denied message.

I have the same issue. Access denied on chrome, edge, firefox. Only have this issue with trying to log into sky on skysports or sky.com. Just downloaded duckduckgo and its working but the issue needs resolving as I can see multiple threads on a google search with people complaining about the same thing. Can you advise what the issue is and how to resovle? All browsing history etc deleted and doesnt fix it.

@Sanch84

You are not talking to Sky by posting on here as we are all customers like you.

You mention Chrome which is what I use and I can login with no issues so have you tried disabling any extensions you have installed to see what happens, and if you are using a VPN disable that as well.

Thanks yeh im not using a vpn and have no add-ons working on chrome. I downloaded firefox last week and it worked for me the first time I logged in but then the next time after a restart i got the same error message as i get with edge and chrome.

duckduckgo is still working (only downloaded it today) which is the only way i can post here on this laptop.

Rang sky customer services and they said they cant help. The only thing I can think is the mac address is on a list for some reason.

Nope. Still broken

Same problem here. No solution yet I presume?

Only way i solved it was by logging into my account on the main sky website in another tab beforehand. Seemed to work when i then tried the sky sports site with that other tab still open.
