Many of us love the appeal of Sky Sports. The excitement, the intrigue, the drama of watching sport. However, many of us don't like the price tag that comes with it. A subscription to Sky Sports can be a big monthly outlay. With the cost of living on the rise, how can you still get access to Sky Sports without Sky TV? Let's take a look at your options sports fans!
What is on Sky Sports?

- Football
- NFL
- Boxing
- Cricket
- Golf
- Rugby Union
- Rugby League
- Racing
- Netball
- Basketball
- Formula 1 and so much more!
Whatever you are into, you can enjoy watching live sporting action with Sky Sports.
How much is Sky Sports with a Sky TV subscription?
For around £41 a month you can get a Sky subscription including Sky Sports. For this price you'll have endless entertainment with over 100 channels not on Freeview plus over 500 Box Sets. On top of that, your Sky Sports package will give you access to the biggest sporting events, including over 400 live football games. You can also add upgrades so you have access to the likes of BT Sports. Don't forget to click through a cashback site if you are signing up to a new Sky subscription. Right now you could get up to £150 in cashback!
How Else To Watch
But what about Sky Sports without Sky TV? If you have a Virgin Media subscription, you should be able to gain access to Sky Sports through that. This can certainly ramp up your Virgin Media price though, with the 18 month complete bigger bundle + sports costing you £72 a month. That is quite a commitment, especially for a year and a half.
Fortunately, for sports fan who want flexibility too, NOW (formally Now TV) lets you dip in and out of Sky Sports without Sky TV, as you see fit. It's £33.99 a month but you can cancel anytime. Meaning that if there is a particularly decent month of sporting action that you want to watch, you can pay for just your month of access. The lack of contract means that if money is tight this month, you can cancel your access until things are looking more financially stable. Maybe you're away over the summer months so won't be at home to watch sports, so cancel it for a month. You can also buy day passes for £9.99, meaning you can gain 24 hours of access to Sky Sports without Sky TV.
You should also check what your mobile phone contract gives you access to. Some contracts include access to different apps including Sky Sports, BT Sports and even Spotify.
No longer so you need to have a satellite dish on the side of your hose in order to access Sky Sports. Without Sky TV you can use streaming services to keep up with all the sporting action and you can enjoy live sport on the go too.
