Introducing Sky Sports+

Sky Employee Badge skyemployee Created with Sketch.

Launching this August, Sky Sports+ is transforming the amount of choice sports fans have, all at no extra cost   


Integrated into Sky TV, streaming service NOW, and a revamped Sky Sports mobile app, Sky Sports+ will make it easier for fans to browse, discover and watch the sport they love. With the capability to show up to 100 live events via concurrent streams, fans will have more choice than ever before on what to watch, while the dedicated Sky Sports+ channel will showcase a selection of the best live sport.  


What’s new?  

 

- Sky Sports customers can enjoy over 50% more live sport this year. 

 

- Four times as many matches from the EFL with all 72 teams featured over 20 times a season.

 

- Every match from the men’s Super League and coverage from the ATP & WTA Tours, US Open, PGA     Tour and more all available via live streams.

 

- Sky Sports + offers the capability to show up to 100 events concurrently.  

 

- Integrated into Sky TV, streaming service NOW and the new, improved Sky Sports mobile app, providing a more personalised experience, making it easier for fans to follow their teams and sports .

How do I watch?

 

Once live, customers with a full Sky Sports subscription won’t need to do a thing; Sky Sports+ will simply drop into the existing Sky experience, across Sky Glass, Sky Stream, Sky Q, and NOW.  

 

For instant, contract-free access to all Sky Sports channels, non-Sky subscribers can purchase a NOW Sports Day or Month Membership. From August, this will also include every single live Sky Sports+ stream and on demand catch-up content. As part of the Sky Sports+ launch, NOW members will also be able to pause and rewind live sports content for the first time.

Please Note: Customers with Sky+ (with a full sports subscription) will receive the new Sky Sports+ Channel, but will not have access to the live streams as Sky+ is not compatible with the Sky Sports App.  

 

Only customers with the complete Sky Sports pack will get access to Sky Sports+ at no extra cost. Anybody with individual sports packs will need to upgrade.  

 

What else can I expect from Sky Sports+ ? 

 

- With new and enhanced features, the viewing experience will be more immersive for fans, giving  

greater options on how you watch your favourite sport. 

 

- Refreshed design and navigation, including a much-requested dark mode will improve usability on the Sky Sports app. 

 

- Sky Sports+ will give exclusive access to Sky’s great sports documentaries, such as the much-anticipated Darts documentary, two weeks before anyone else. 

 

The recently revamped Sky Sports app will also become the ultimate home of sports streaming. New personalisation features will help fans follow their favourite teams and competitions more easily and an improved multi-sports scores section will offer fixtures, live scores and an extended view beyond the usual seven-day football calendar.

Sky are showing every Super league game this season, I've recorded and watch many of them so far. However, with Skysports+ most Super league games will now only be aired via the red button where the games will be streamed. Is it possible to record these games or stream them at any time?

I presume the channel will launch sometime during today?

It is terrible that customers with sky + will not get access to the live streams even if they pay for the full

sport subscription

Have a full sky sports package, why can't you record from the new 412 channel when it's a LIVE ie super league, programme? Why can't you access it on sky go either, it only brings up what is currently live. Not impressed up to now. Not worth the money if this is the case.

can you use sky go to watch anything other than the main stream channel...i.e how does the "red button" option work on a laptop?

You have to watch through the sky sports app. Make sure your logged in with sky ID and press the watch button at the bottom.

Morning @smeellyy, you can access the Sky Sports+ channel on Sky Go but to have fulll access to content included in Sky Sports+ you'll need the Sky Sports app. The app will be available on via Q, Glass, Stream, Virgin Media (TV) and the mobile app on mobiles only.

Trying to watch tennis is a joke. Constantly freezing on every match on the sky sports plus service. 

It worked fine streaming matches before this was launched. It's not my Internet before you say check it. Come on Sky, your meant to be the premium service.

Another Sky money grab. I've gone from being able to watch all Rugby Super league games to none unless I want to upgrade to the full sports package.

 

No thanks.
