Quick answer
Is IPTV cheaper than Sky?
Yes. Our 12 month plans cost less than two months of a typical Sky sports package.
Price
Sky Signature with Sky Sports and TNT Sports typically costs £70 to £90 a month on an 18 or 24 month contract. Adding Amazon Prime for its Premier League games pushes it further. An IPTV subscription costs between £3.75 and £20 a month with no contract.
Football coverage
Sky shows its own picks and TNT shows theirs. Neither can show the Saturday 3PM kick offs. IPTV includes every televised game plus the 3PM matches.
Picture quality and reliability
Sky satellite is extremely reliable and offers 4K on selected games. Good IPTV services also offer HD and 4K, but quality depends on your broadband. Test with a free trial before you switch.
Extras
Sky offers recordings on its box, Sky Q multiroom and a customer support line. IPTV offers multiroom through extra connections, catch-up on main channels and a huge on-demand library.
Verdict
If you want a single bill from a big brand and do not mind the cost, Sky works. If you want every game, including 3PM kick offs, for a fraction of the price, IPTV is the better value.
