The best Sky TV, Glass and Stream deals and packages

When it comes to streaming, Sky's approach is very much if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. It managed to minimise the threat from the likes of Netflix and Disney Plus by offering these services as part of its package. But of course it offers a lot more besides: whether you want premium US TV shows, movies, sports or kids' shows, Sky has you covered.

However, the best UK TV offering comes at a premium price. That's why you'll want to consult the best Sky deals below. They include bundles and packages, Sky's broadband, the commitment-free Now service (formerly Now TV), as well as the dish-free services Sky Glass and Sky Stream.

Want to dip a toe in Sky's waters? Or are you jumping in with TV and broadband? Let's find a deal for you.

What is Sky Q?

How do you get Sky Q?

Sky Q is the Sky's current generation of dish-based home entertainment, following on from Sky+. It offers lots of channels covering drama, comedy, wildlife, kids, films and sports content, served up in a package that delivers 4K picture quality, the ability to pause and rewind live channels, and full multi-room features.

Sky HDR programming is available on Disney Plus, Amazon Prime Video and Netflix. You can also watch the Premier League in HDR too on Sky Sports.

To get Sky Q, you'll need a Sky Q Box. It stores up to 500 hours of standard definition TV, lets you record six channels while watching a seventh and is able to show HD and 4K UHD content.

You'll also need a satellite dish in order to watch Sky Q. Don't want – or can't have – a dish? Sky Glass or Sky Stream are for you, as they deliver Sky over broadband.

• From good to great: how to watch HDR on Sky Q

What is Sky Glass?

Sky Glass is Sky's dishless service, delivering Sky TV entirely over the internet and through a Sky-branded TV. There are three sizes of Sky Glass TV to choose from, and Sky subscription deals to pick too. You pay a different amount upfront according to the TV size you've gone for and then the rest is paid either over a 24-month or 48-month contract. For more information, check out our Sky Glass review.

Best Sky Glass bundle deals

Sky Glass £15/month for 48 months
This deal includes a 43-inch Sky Glass streaming 4K TV with Dolby Atmos speakers, Sky Entertainment and Netflix. Not bad for £15 a month, though you do have to sign up for four years, so make sure you're happy with the deal. There's a £20 upfront fee.

What is Sky Stream?

Sky Stream is a standalone box – similar to Apple TV – that provides satellite dish-free access to Sky on any TV of your choice. It promises most of the Sky Glass experience and is a doddle to install (you just plug it into a spare HDMI port on your TV). On the downside, 4K, HDR and Atmos cost extra. Like Sky Glass, there's also no hard drive to store recordings, so you have to rely on items on your 'playlist' still being available when you get round to watching them.

Best Sky Stream deals

Sky Stream, Sky TV & Netflix £22/month; 24 month contract; no setup fees
This 24-month contract costs £22 per month, down from £28, saving you £144 over the two-year duration. It brings you Sky Stream, Sky Ultimate TV and Netflix. An excellent price for a comprehensive package of TV shows and movies.

How much do Sky Q boxes cost?

The standard Sky Q package allows you to watch content at up to HD resolution and comes with the 1TB box. There's a one-off installation fee of up to £49 and then it's £31 per month for the basic TV package which includes Netflix, Sky Atlantic, Sky Originals, Sky Sports News, 300 channels, 500 Sky box sets, 40 catch-up services and access to content on the Sky Go app.

Extras? Sky has plenty. The HD add-on is £8 a month, and lets you watch over 40 live channels in high definition, including Comedy Central, Sky Comedy HD, Sky News HD, Dave HD and Comedy Central. Or you can splash out on the Ultra HD + HD bolt-on, which includes selected sport and Sky Originals in 4K for £12 a month. The latter seems like something of a no-brainer.

You can also add Sky Multiscreen for an extra £15 per month and enjoy your Sky content on a second TV thanks to the additional Sky Q Mini box.

With any of these Sky Q options, you can add on TV channels in bundles like Sky Sports, Sky Box Sets, Sky Entertainment, etc.

That's the basic viewing options covered. So what do the various Sky packages offer?

Sky Ultimate TV

Sky Ultimate TV £31 a month (£20 setup fee)
Sky Ultimate TV is the basic starter bundle. It includes a wide variety of dramas, comedies, documentaries, music, Sky One, Sky Atlantic, Nat Geo wild, Sky Originals, 300 TV channels and Netflix too.

View Deal

Can you still get Sky+?

No. While Sky still supports its Sky+ customers, the only options for new customers are Sky Q, Sky Glass or Sky Stream. Or Sky's no-strings-attached streaming service Now (formerly known as Now TV).

The Sky TV basic package offers over 300 channels covering entertainment, documentary, music and sports. These include Sky Atlantic, Sky One, Fox, MTV, Gold, Comedy Central, Quest, Syfy, E!, Discovery, National Geographic, Sky Sports News, Eurosport and Sky Sports Mix. You can also get free access to Netflix and the over 500 Sky Box sets with Sky TV & Netflix.

That means you get shows like Succession, A Town Called Malice, Dreamland, The Last of Us, Funny Woman, Big Little Lies, Last Chance U, The Umbrella Academy, Last Week Tonight With John Oliver, Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year, Chernobyl, Gomorrah, Riviera and The White Lotus.

For new customers, Sky Ultimate TV costs £31 a month for the first 24 months. Now you've got your starter pack, it's time to add some extras.

Sky Sports

Sky Sports gives you more sports channels than the standard Sky TV package. Namely, you get individual channels dedicated to Premier League football, the football league, cricket, F1, NFL and golf, and all in HD.

You also get Sky Sports Arena (basketball, racing, bowling), Sky Sports Main Event (golf, cricket, rugby) and Sky Sports News.

If you have the relevant package, you'll be able to watch some of these channels in 4K UHD and the Premier League in HDR. Here are a few bundles to consider...

Disney+

Disney+ on Sky £8.99 per month, 31-day contract
Exclusive films, TV and documentaries from Marvel, Pixar, Disney, Star Wars, National Geographic and Star too. Much of the Disney+ content is available on Sky in 4K HDR and the one-month rolling contract means that you can step out once you've watched all you need. You can subscribe through Sky, or direct with Disney.

Sky's latest add-on addition is Disney Plus. Like many of the extra services, there's no long term commitment. The price is in line with a Disney Plus subscription through other platforms at £8.99 (or £4.99 with ads, £12.99 with 4K and HDR). It's also one of the best places to find 4K HDR viewing on Sky.

Ultra HD + HD

4K content on Sky Ultra HD + HD £12 per month
This add-on gives you Sky Cinema and Sky Sport in 4K where available plus over 40 HD channels. It also offers access to the 4K programming on Netflix with Netflix Premium.

The Ultra HD + HD add-on is your ticket to 4K content on Sky. It unlocks access to 4K films and 4K sport on the Sky Cinema and the Sky Sport channels respectively. Not all films and sports are available in UHD, though more 4K HDR content is arriving all the time.

The other bonus of this relatively cheap addition is that it upgrades your Netflix access to Netflix Premium which brings 4K programming through Netflix as well as simultaneous Netflix viewing on up to four devices.
