Sky is rolling out two new streamlined TV packages for sports fans - combining Sky Sports and BT Sport channels for the first time.

This means viewers will be able to watch major tournaments like the Premier League on Sky Sports whilst catching Emirates FA Cup and UEFA Champions League coverage on the BT Sport channel.

Overall Sky customers will get access to eight of the major sports channels and full coverage of everything from football and golf to cricket and rugby.

By opting for one of the new 18-month packages, like the Sky Sports and BT Sport plus Sky Entertainment option for £47 a month, customers can save over 40% with the bundle when compared to the price of standalone subscriptions.

While the Sky Sports and BT Sport will save viewers 35% of the price of standalone monthly subscriptions.

The new packages include:

Speaking about the new offering, Lyssa McGowan, Chief Consumer Officer, Sky said: “Our customers have always loved sport and we’re delighted to now be able to offer them even more. From the excitement of the UEFA Champions League, Tiger Woods defending The Masters and the rise of Fallon Sherrock, 2020 is a huge year of sport. Now, through our partnership with BT and the launch of our new sports packages, millions of fans can watch all the sports they love.”

NOW TV customers will also soon be able to enjoy BT Sport on their NOW TV Smart Stick or NOW TV Smart Box with Voice Search, when the BT Sport app launches in the app store later this spring.
