Sky Sports is the most expensive line on a British TV bill: £39–£44 a month as an add-on, on top of a Sky package and an 18-month contract. That's £500+ a year before you've watched a single match. The alternative: watch Sky Sports on IPTV, where the channels are part of the standard lineup rather than a premium bolt-on.
With Vivimate that means every Sky Sports channel — plus TNT Sports and international coverage — from $14.99/month (about £12), no contract. Here's exactly what you get and how to set it up.
Every Sky Sports Channel, Included
The full Sky Sports stable is carried in the sports section:
Sky Sports Main Event
Sky Sports Premier League

Alongside them: TNT Sports for Champions League nights, plus the international sport a Sky box can't show — NFL RedZone Sundays, NBA, European leagues and every PPV fight night. See the full picture in our best IPTV for sports guide.
The Cost Math Sky Doesn't Want You to Do
| Route | Monthly | Per year | Contract |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sky TV + Sky Sports + TNT | £80–£100+ | £960–£1,200+ | 18–24 months |
