Didn't realise they are separating the football? Assuming I've read it correctly there is the PL channel and then the everything else football channel?

Definitely seems like that. "helping the customers" oh yeah. Of course...

Where is the rugby going?

That's one channel I can ditch pronto.

F1 and cricket in the bin too.

Are there prices yet? Couldn't see them anywhere.

I saw £18 a month is going to be the cheapest price, but guess that is only if you take just one channel.  I suspect if you like a broad range of sports, you are going to end up paying near the max.  Suspect you'll only save a quid or so if you ditch rugby and the fight sports.  I think you should save fortunes if you ditch the premier league, but dare say you won't.

I read Sky are going to lose the PGA golf, so guess that is another chann to cross off.

It could probably just take the Golf channel. Racing paid by other means.

No point having the footy while AW still in charge......Ive seen it before. Wink

Seems like they've lumped boxing in with NFL. Sneaky bastards. Might ditch that and invest in gamepass instead.

I only really watch the majors, but would be loathe to lose them. Depends on the price I guess.

Football and SKY SPORTS News are the only ones I'll definitely keep.

From a Sky Website;

The new package of ten channels and an unrivalled schedule of live sport is available for the same price (£27.50 per month), which will remain frozen for 12 months.  Existing customers will receive the new Sky Sports package automatically and the new channels will replace the existing line-up.

For the first time, Sky Sports will also offer something for fans not looking for the full breadth of sports, but are interested in specific sports.  The new line-up is designed to grow this customer base and offers flexibility to subscribe to individual channel packages at a new price.  One channel pack will be available for just £18 per month, two for £22 and three for £26.

Nothing about how much they all cost or all less 1 etc.

Given 3 will cost £26 and 10 will cost £27.50 I don't expect there will be any discount off the £27.50 if you only want between 4 and 9 channels.

That was the implication of what I read.  Unless you only ever watch 1 sport, you pay near full whack anyway.  Would be nice to be able to bin football and save fortunes, but it looks like all channels will have the same cost regardless of the cost of content.

That's what I was hoping for. The NFL package (seemingly arena and action come together)  for say 10 a month. Premier league at 18-20 or so. But yeah seems everything is 18 minimum.

I would like to be able to find out if redzone is going to remain on sky sports mix. The adverts seem to suggest it will be part of the NFL package rather than being on there for free

Take your point but the £27.50 is only guaranteed for the year it seems - I assume it won't be this price July 18th 2018, but also assume the pricing model won't change much just the costs.
I am also surprised their is not a bigger premium associated to the Football 1 package, still seems all the rest will be subsidising the EPL coverage.

Just rang.

One channel pack will be available for just £18 per month, two for £22 and three for £26, or all of them for £27.50

"However, we are able to offer you all channels for £20 if you agree to an 18-month contract."

At the end of it all I'm now paying pretty much what I was before. Incred.

I pay a pony a month for everything, and all PPV, too.

I pay my contribution to Tikay's Starbucks fund directly Grin

That's interesting... Do you now have more sport though? Was 6 channels before with f1 wasn't it. Now... 8?
