All Sky Sports Channels — Complete List

IPTV vs Sky Sports Subscription: The Numbers

Premier League Coverage

The Premier League is the most-watched sports content in the UK. Sky Sports has rights to 128 Premier League matches per season. TNT Sports has rights to 52 additional matches. Together, these two channels cover every televised Premier League fixture.

On IPTV: both Sky Sports Premier League and TNT Sports 1 are included in a single subscription — meaning clients can watch every single Premier League match without a separate TNT Sports subscription. This is a compelling specific argument: "Every Premier League match this season — £12/month instead of £55."

F1 Coverage on Sky Sports F1

Sky Sports F1 carries exclusive UK coverage of every Formula 1 session: every practice session, every qualifying session, every race, plus pre/post-race analysis. Channel 4 shows highlights and a small number of races on free-to-air, but for live race coverage, Sky Sports F1 is essential.

F1 fans pay specifically for Sky Sports to access Sky Sports F1. The argument: "You pay £26/month for Sky Sports just for F1 — with IPTV you get F1 plus every other Sky Sports channel for £12."

Cricket Coverage

Sky Sports Cricket covers England internationals (Test, ODI, T20), The Hundred, county cricket highlights, and overseas tours. Star Sports (Indian subcontinent) covers the IPL. Both are included in IPTV. For South Asian clients, the combination of Sky Sports Cricket and Star Sports in a single IPTV subscription is particularly compelling.

Boxing Coverage

Major boxing events are split between Sky Sports and TNT Sports (formerly BT Sport). World title fights by promoters including Matchroom Boxing appear on Sky Sports; BOXXER promotions also on Sky. Both channels are included in IPTV. Note: PPV boxing events (where a separate purchase is required even on Sky) are not automatically included — check current platform policy.

Tennis and Golf

Sky Sports Tennis: Wimbledon highlights (Channel 4 has highlights free-to-air; Sky has full coverage), ATP and WTA Tour coverage throughout the season, Davis Cup, Billie Jean King Cup.

Sky Sports Golf: The Masters, The Open Championship, US Open, US PGA Championship, Ryder Cup, Presidents Cup, PGA Tour events, DP World Tour.
