Can I get sky over the internet in Spain 

[Mark39 · Accepted solution]

Not from Sky UK, I'm afraid. You may be able to find an alternative supplier locally who carries some Sky channels.

No, because of brexit

You can get it, as pretty much every bar in Spain will demonstrate, but Sky won't allow it. It's by no means illegal, just against Sky's own Ts & Cs. 

You can get a Freesat box and point the dish in the right direction. Or if you're happy to use the local equivalent to Sky, search for Movistar+. There's loads of English-audio content but you won't get live sports etc in English as they're offered with Spanish comms only.

Sky is not licenced as a media provider in Spain.  They experimented with a Spanish online service a few years ago, but didn't procede with it as apparently internet access was problematic and audience figures didn't justify continuation.

The Sky services Glass and Stream are geofenced to IP addresses in the UK and RoI only.  Sky Go, which is time-limited anyway, is only available in Europe for RoI Sky subscribers after the UK left the EU.

What about using a VPN routed via the UK?

Still against Sky's terms and conditions.

And Sky (like any other UK-only platform) is obliged by its content rights owners to attempt to detect and block such use.

No & the forum wouldn't help you in that regard either as it's breach of both the T & C's & forum rules.
