With top-tier sport split across Sky Sports and BT Sport (now TNT Sports), it can be difficult for fans to decide which subscription offers the best coverage.
Sky Sports holds exclusive UK rights to Formula One, while BT Sport - now rebranded as TNT Sports - has exclusive coverage of the UEFA Champions League, alongside Premiership Rugby.
Taking Sky Sports and TNT Sports together ensures viewers don't miss out on major competitions, and this guide explains the cheapest ways to bundle Sky Sports with BT Sport packages available today.
BT Sport is now TNT Sports
In July 2023, BT Sport rebranded as TNT Sports following a joint venture between BT and Warner Bros. Discovery. Eurosport was subsequently integrated into TNT Sports on 28 February 2025.
The underlying content rights and sporting coverage previously shown on BT Sport and Eurosport have carried over to TNT Sports, with pricing for the channel pack remaining broadly similar.
It is still possible to watch TNT Sports alongside Sky Sports in bundled TV packages from Sky, Virgin Media and BT, which we explore in more detail throughout this guide.

Virgin Media Fibre Broadband + Flex
Get 10% back on Sky Sports and TNT Sports packs
Virgin Media broadband customers who add Flex TV can subscribe to both Sky Sports and BT Sport (now TNT Sports) and receive a 10% bill credit on the standard monthly prices.
Sky Sports is priced at £38.75 per month and TNT Sports at £25 per month. With the 10% credit applied, this reduces the monthly cost to £34.88 for Sky Sports and £22.50 for TNT Sports, or £57.38 per month when taken together.
This makes Virgin Media Fibre Broadband + Flex one of the lowest-cost ways to watch both Sky Sports and TNT Sports without committing to a long TV contract.
Virgin Flex can be added to any Virgin Media broadband package. The lowest-priced option is currently available with M125 Fibre Broadband:
| Package | TV | Broadband | Monthly price | Upfront price | Contract term | |

BT TV offers one of the lowest-priced ways to watch Sky Sports and BT Sport through its Big Sport bundle, which combines Sky Sports, TNT Sports and Discovery+ with a choice of BT broadband packages.
One downside is that Sky Sports and TNT Sports on BT are provided in SD as standard, meaning customers need to add the HD pack for an extra £6 per month to watch in full HD.
EE TV offers the same Big Sport bundle at the same standard price as BT, but currently undercuts it overall thanks to a promotional offer that reduces Big Sport to £30 per month for the first three months. This makes EE the cheapest option in the short term for customers who want both Sky Sports and TNT Sports.
As with BT, EE customers need to pay extra to upgrade Sky Sports and TNT Sports to full HD.
Sky TV is the next cheapest option for combining Sky Sports and BT Sport, using its Essential TV plan alongside Full Fibre 150 broadband. Both sports packs are included in HD as standard, with the option to upgrade to Ultra HD.
Sky Essential TV includes Sky Atlantic, Netflix and Discovery+ Entertainment, while customers can upgrade to Sky Ultimate TV for £4 per month more, adding a further 42 premium channels from the Sky Entertainment line-up.
Virgin Media is another option for Sky Sports and BT Sport, although recent increases to the TNT Sports pack mean it is currently the most expensive route, whether taken as a pre-built bundle or via Flex.
The M500 Sports HD + Netflix plan with TNT Sports added costs £79.99 per month. This does include all channels in full 1080p HD, the TNT Sports Ultimate channel in 4K, and faster M500 fibre broadband, which is quicker than the comparable Sky and BT packages.
Virgin Media Flex offers more flexibility, and once the 10% bill credit is applied to the Sky Sports and TNT Sports add-ons, the total monthly cost comes to £87.37 with M125 Fibre Broadband. All sports channels are included in HD as standard.
Overall, Virgin Media's bundled TV plans offer more channels and faster broadband, but at a higher monthly cost compared with Sky, BT and EE.
Which TV package is best?
There are several ways to get Sky Sports and BT Sport (now TNT Sports) together in one package, with options available from Sky, Virgin Media, BT and EE.
Each provider structures its bundles slightly differently, with variations in price, viewing quality and contract terms. Below, we compare the main options and how much it costs to watch Sky Sports alongside TNT Sports.
Choosing the right Sky Sports and TNT Sports package will typically come down to budget, whether HD or Ultra HD viewing matters, and if features such as pausing and rewinding live TV are important.

BT offers one of the lower-cost ways to get Sky Sports and BT Sport together through its Big Sport TV plan, priced from £75.99 per month when bundled with broadband and free setup.
However, BT includes Sky Sports and TNT Sports in SD or 720p by default, meaning customers need to add the HD pack for an extra £6 per month. This brings the total monthly cost to £81.99 for full HD viewing.
EE TV offers the same Big Sport bundle at standard pricing, but is currently the cheapest option overall thanks to a promotional offer that reduces the cost to £57.99 per month for the first three months when taken with broadband. As with BT, customers need to pay extra to upgrade the channels to full HD.
Sky Essential TV is another lower-cost way to bundle both sports packs. It includes Sky Atlantic, Netflix and Discovery+ Entertainment, and can be customised with Sky Sports and TNT Sports using current discounts of £17 per month across the two packs. Sky Ultimate TV is available for an additional £4 per month, adding 35 more premium channels.
Virgin Media's M500 Sports HD + Netflix plan includes over 200 TV channels, the Stream TV box, and faster broadband, with average download speeds of around 516Mbps. Customers need to add the TNT Sports pack separately at £25 per month, as reflected in the table above.
For viewing quality, Sky and Virgin Media include both sports packs in full 1080p HD as standard, with optional Ultra HD upgrades. Virgin Media also includes TNT Sports Ultimate in Ultra HD as part of its higher-tier bundles.
TV pack features
When choosing where to take Sky Sports and BT Sport (now TNT Sports), differences in viewing features and picture quality can be just as important as price.
Below, we outline the main feature differences between Sky, Virgin Media, BT and EE:
| Sky | Virgin Media | BT | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pause and rewind live sports channels | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Record sports channels | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| On the go app sports viewing | Yes | Yes | Yes |
A key advantage of BT and EE TV is that the NOW Sports Membership is fully integrated into the TV guide and the EE TV Box Pro. This means customers can pause and rewind live sport, as well as record programmes - features not available when using NOW as a standalone streaming service.
Sky and Virgin Media also support pausing and rewinding live TV through their traditional set-top boxes, including Sky Q and Virgin TV 360.
Customers using the newer streaming platforms from Sky and Virgin Media can also pause and rewind live TV, with recordings saved to the cloud rather than a physical hard drive.
For watching on the go, Sky Sports can be accessed via the Sky Sports app by BT and Virgin Media customers, while Sky customers use the Sky Go app.
TNT Sports can be watched outside the home using the Discovery+ app, while Virgin Media customers also have the option to watch via the Virgin TV Go app.
TNT Sports now includes all sporting content previously shown on Eurosport, following its integration alongside BT Sport into TNT Sports on 28 February 2025.
In terms of non-sports channels, Sky, Virgin Media and BT offer broadly similar coverage, with access to major packs such as Sky Entertainment, Sky Cinema and Netflix available across all three platforms.
Virgin Media does not carry Sky Atlantic, while the channel is available on Sky TV and via NOW memberships on BT and EE.
Sky also includes Paramount+ as part of its Sky Cinema pack. Virgin Media customers need to add Paramount+ separately, with prices starting from £4.99 per month.
Finally, Sky and BT customers receive Discovery+ Entertainment included with all TV plans. This is not included with Virgin Media. Discovery+ Entertainment provides access to on-demand content from channels including Animal Planet, Discovery, Discovery History, Discovery Science, DMAX, Food Network, HGTV, ID, Quest, Quest Red, TLC and Turbo.
HD
There are some differences between providers when it comes to watching Sky Sports and BT Sport (now TNT Sports) in HD.
Below is an overview of the default picture quality for each provider's sports packs, along with any additional cost to upgrade to full 1080p HD.
| Sky Sports | TNT Sport | HD upgrade | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sky | 1080p HD | 1080p HD | N/a |
| Virgin Media | 1080p HD | 1080p HD | £7/mth |
| BT | 720p HD | SD | £6/mth |
| EE | 720p HD | SD | £6/mth |
Sky includes both Sky Sports and BT Sport (now TNT Sports) in full 1080p HD as standard, so customers don't need to pay extra for high-definition viewing.
Virgin Media also includes Sky Sports and TNT Sports in 1080p HD as standard, and bundles the TNT Sports Ultimate 4K channel at no extra cost.
BT and EE, by contrast, include TNT Sports in SD as standard, while Sky Sports delivered via NOW is available in 720p HD by default. Customers on both platforms can upgrade the sports packs to full 1080p HD for an additional £6 per month.
Ultra HD
Anyone with a 4K or 4K HDR-compatible TV may want to watch live sport in Ultra HD for higher picture quality.
Both Sky and Virgin Media offer access to selected Sky Sports and BT Sport (now TNT Sports) content in Ultra HD. Sky added support for TNT Sports Ultimate in November 2022, while Virgin Media introduced Sky Sports Ultra HD in February 2023.
Below is an overview of how much the Ultra HD upgrades cost:
| Sky Sports UHD | BT Sport Ultimate | |
|---|---|---|
| Sky | £6/mth | Included in UHD pack |
| Virgin Media | £7/mth (with existing Sky Sports HD subscription) | Included in TNT Sports Collection |
Virgin Media includes the TNT Sports Ultimate channel as standard with its TNT Sports Collection add-on on both Mega TV and Flex.
Virgin Media customers can also upgrade to Sky Sports Ultra HD for an additional £7 per month, provided they already have Sky Sports in HD. Customers with Sky Sports in SD, such as existing Bigger Bundle subscribers, would need to pay £14 per month to access Sky Sports Ultra HD.
Sky TV customers can add the Ultra HD pack for £6 per month when using Sky Stream. This pack includes Sky Sports Ultra HD and TNT Sports Ultimate, and also upgrades other compatible Sky content to HD and Ultra HD where available.
Premium packages
While basic and mid-range bundles can be upgraded with add-ons for extra content or higher picture quality, these features are often included as standard in each provider's premium packages.
Below is an overview of the highest-tier Sky Sports and BT Sport packages and how much they cost.

Sky Sports vs BT Sport
Sky Sports and BT Sport (now TNT Sports) offer different sports coverage, meaning fans who want access to the widest range of live football and other major competitions may need both subscriptions.
TNT Sports channels
The TNT Sports pack includes four main channels:
- TNT Sports 1
- TNT Sports 2
- TNT Sports 3
- TNT Sports 4

Sky Sports Racing is included in base TV packages from Sky and Virgin Media, while Sky TV also includes Sky Sports News and Sky Sports Mix without requiring a full Sky Sports subscription.
Fixtures
Sky Sports and BT Sport (now TNT Sports) split coverage across major football competitions, meaning viewers often need both to access the widest range of live matches.
Under the current broadcast rights cycle, Sky shows the largest share of Premier League fixtures, while TNT Sports holds exclusive rights to European club competitions.
Below is an overview of how coverage differs between Sky Sports and TNT Sports:
| Sky Sports | TNT Sports | |
|---|---|---|
| Premier League | At least 215 live matches per season | Around 52 live matches per season |
| Football | EFL Championship, League One & League Two Carabao Cup Women's Super League |
UEFA Champions League UEFA Europa League UEFA Europa Conference League |
| Rugby | Selected rugby coverage | Premiership Rugby and additional live fixtures |
| Motor sports | Formula One (exclusive UK coverage) | Selected motorsport coverage |
| Cricket | England home internationals, county cricket and major series | Limited cricket coverage |
| Golf | The Masters The Open US Open Ryder Cup |
Limited or no coverage |
| Other | NFL, tennis, boxing, darts and more | UFC, boxing and selected additional sports |
Sky Sports offers broader domestic coverage across football and other major sports, while TNT Sports remains essential for European competitions, particularly the UEFA Champions League.
What you need for full football coverage: To watch the widest possible range of live football in the UK - including most Premier League matches and all UEFA Champions League fixtures - you'll need access to both Sky Sports and TNT Sports. Additional competitions may also be shown on free-to-air channels depending on the tournament.
Summary: Sky Sports vs BT Sport
Choosing between Sky Sports and BT Sport (now TNT Sports) isn't straightforward, and for many viewers the simplest option is to bundle both packs together to avoid missing key fixtures across different competitions.
Bundling can also reduce costs. For example, Sky discounts the TNT Sports pack by £6 per month when customers also take Sky Sports.
At the lowest headline price, BT and EE currently offer the cheapest way to combine Sky Sports and TNT Sports through their Big Sport bundles. However, both providers include the channels in SD or 720p by default, meaning customers need to add an extra £6 per month to watch in full 1080p HD.
Once HD viewing is factored in, Virgin Media becomes the cheapest option for watching both Sky Sports and TNT Sports in full HD, while also bundling faster broadband as standard. Sky's Essential TV bundle is only marginally more expensive - around a penny per month more - but includes both sports packs in full HD by default, with the option to upgrade to Ultra HD.
For flexibility, Sky Stream, Virgin Media Flex and BT or EE TV are evenly matched, all allowing customers to add or remove sports packs on a monthly basis depending on fixtures or budget.
