No you cannot.
All detailed in the Sky help article here;
Viewing Sky abroad | Sky Help | Sky.com

 

From 1 January 2021, you won’t be entitled to stream Sky outside the UK using your Sky Go, Sky Kids, Sky Sports and Sky Sports Box Office apps. Some Sky apps will allow you to download your favourite shows and movies over WiFi before you leave home to watch offline while you’re abroad.

Certain rules mean people within the EU can stream content across all EU countries. From 1 January 2021, the UK will no longer be part of the EU, so we won’t be able to provide this service in the same way.

This change affects lots of online video, music and entertainment services, not just Sky.


Sky+, Sky News, Sky Sports Score Centre and Sky Store won’t be affected, so you can carry on using them when travelling in the EU.

@ptwalsh  Not possible since brexit.

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

Thanks to those who replied. It's my first EU visit since Brexit, always comforting to learn of yet another benefit!
