How do I get Eurosport pop up channels on Sky for the Olympics?

How do I get the 9 Eurosport pop up channels (That are mentioned by BBC Sports and/or Radio Times.) on Sky for 2024 Olympics? I pay for Sky Sports and have a Sky Q box.

Easiest way to see all the live events on Eurosport, whether it's on their two linear sports channels or the  Discovery+ app  (that Sky customers get for free), is as follows;

 

Say 'Olympics'  into your voice remote and pan across the two top live rails there.

Select either of the two linear Eurosport channels on the first rail.

Or for the extra live content select any of the second rail 'Live Olympics on discovery+', select watch, this will launch that within the Discovery+ app.

 

If you want to switch events when in the Disovery + app,  best way is to say 'Olympics' using your Sky remote once again and pan left to 'Leave and search'

 

This works great on Sky Stream, should be much the same on Sky Q.

My guess is that Radio Times copy and pasted the information from the Tokyo 2020 Olympics about the pop up channels.

Template articles like that are notorious for incorrect information/assuming stuff.

 

Discovery plus/wbd are trying to push people into using their own streaming service.

That isnt the case. Eurosport provided RadioTimes with that information at time of going to press.

What if you are watching on a mini box not on your main Q box?

@99Dave out of curiousity how do you know that to be the case?

 

Couldn't it also be the case that the pop up channels being referred to are the ones on the discovery plus app as well?

Who/what are you replying to? Discovery+ is available on mini boxes so there is no difference.

Eurosport have this article on coverage

https://www.eurosport.com/olympics/olympic-games-paris-2024/2024/olympic-heroes-comprehensive-covera...

 

  • Sky TV: In addition to watching Eurosport 1&2, Sky TV customers can also activate a discovery+ Standard Plan at no extra cost to their current subscription, providing access to the full Olympics experience on d+, including Eurosport pop-up channels and 55+ live event feeds

The pop up channels are part of Discovery plus

Re: How do I get Eurosport pop up channels on Sky for the Olympics?

Yes thanks - it was as I suspected. Though I've been on the App and they arent numbered as Eurosport channels. Coverage is listed by sport. 

A pop up channel definition for me is a channel on my TV EPG I can flick back and forth. I cant on Sky though EETV seems to have that.

switching between sports on the app is like watching treacle being poured.😀

It doesnt work like that on Sky Q. You have clunky menus to navigate.

Hi @lettice @nolte 

Thanks v much, both BBC & Radio Times info is incorrect and Discovery+, which is linked with Eurosport, is the answer. 

BTW, I  pay for Sky Sports but Discovery+ Olympic streams would only work after I took out a paid subscription, so Discovery+ NOT FREE ON SKY

Eurosport including all the Olympics coverage is included in the free Discovery+ Sky subscription. Did you set it up and link your Sky/Discovery accounts correctly? If you've had to pay, then something has gone wrong.
