you would need to contact sky and negotiate lower price, if you receive an offer you find acceptable you must accept it there and then as you wont get the same offer next time you call, in return you will need to commit to a new 18 month minimum term contract

Nobody here can, I'm afraid, as we're customers.
You have to have the base package as a minimum before you can add premium channels like Sky Sports. But you should be able to keep Sky Sports and pay a lot less than you're currently paying. It means speaking directly to Sky to negotiate a deal with them. It will be subject to an 18 months minimum.

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out moreRealistically Sky is a premium television service and Sports are a premium add-on. It's not possible to view Sports channels without a baseline bundle, so about £60 pcm is typically the minimum possible. If you're after full PL coverage that requires BT Sport and Prime Video too, so more like £100.

£134 is really far too much. If all you need is Sky Sports + Sky signature (required ) you should only be paying £56 and that's without discount (you could take around £20 off that if you negotiate hard).
Of course if you have other Sky products such as broadband, mobile and TV extras such as Cinema, Multiroom and BT sports the price will be much higher.
