It's not included in Sky. You need to pay for it extra. Also they are now Viaplay

They are included in some packages in Ireland and judging by @tipperary2019 name, that's where they are.

@tipperary2019  In uk premier sports (now viaplay) requires a separate subscription with viaplay direct it's not part of any other sports package 

in ROI it's part of sports extra package which includes bt sports

@tipperary2019  I don't know why it would go off unless the terms of the takeover saw it removed from your current package

I've not seen any other posts, what happens when you tune to Ch 412 @tipperary2019, any messages? @

[tipperary2019]

tells me to upgrade 'which i did ages ago and have the full sky sports package ;have to give them a call during the week ;very little on at the moment due to the world cup

[SKY1992bf]

@tipperary2019  I agree with @oj01  in that I've not seen any other reports but I've asked the question privately if there has been any changes since takeover

Yes I've noticed it too, although not for everything, it's very poor HD, definitely not 1080p on some sports. On the app it's better but it's on my phone so screen is smaller. Shame they don't have an On Demand package or their own app on sky

This was announced towards end of October, GAA Go are going g to broadcast the non-sky sports games

The GAA said in their statement on 25th October

• Following the successful expansion of GAAGO’s streaming footprint during the pandemic, exclusive championship games will be made available on the platform in Ireland and overseas from the 2023 season onwards.

Anyone know if Viaplay Xtra will be remaining as free to air? I hope so, there's a handful of good sports on it.

Are the Red Wings still the best team? Haven't watched hockey in 15 years.

@Austinored 

you can watch all sports events for 48 hours.

Same issue here today showing a blue upgrade screen on TV. Oddly enough working on Sky Go app. No issues with BT channels (In ROI BT and Premier Sports are sold togeher in the Sports Extra package) This is being reported over on the boards.ie forum as well.

For UK readers who may not be aware Viaplay have not taken over the Irish part of Premier Sports which continues as Premier Sports here.
