If you’re a Sky TV subscriber, you have free access to the provider’s streaming, live broadcast and catch-up service, Sky Go. With Sky Go, you can stream a selection of live and on-demand content on a smartphone, tablet or laptop, no matter where you are.
How can I watch Sky Go?
Sky Go is free for Sky TV subscribers, so you can access it as long as you subscribe to one of Sky's TV services.
You can watch Sky Go on two compatible devices, such as mobiles, tablets and computers. All you need to do is log in on your preferred devices, and you’re good to go.
If you need to change devices, like if you get a new tablet and would rather watch on that than your mobile, you can remove devices and register the new one through the site. Sky Go lets you change devices once per calendar month.
What can you watch on Sky Go?
Through Sky Go, you can watch live Sky TV channels, a wide range of programmes from the on-demand library — including over 800 movies if you subscribe to Sky Cinema and sports coverage if you’ve got a plan with Sky Sports — and kids’ content.
Depending upon your subscription, you can access up to 54 live channels, including:

Note: The channels you can access on Sky Go reflect your Sky TV subscription. For example, you can only watch Sky Sports on Sky Go if you subscribe to Sky Sports.
Additionally, if you’re an existing HD customer, meaning Sky HD is part of your subscription, you can watch TV Box Sets.
Sky Go vs Sky Go Extra
Sky also has an upgraded version of Sky Go called Sky Go Extra.
With Sky Go Extra, you can download programmes to watch offline on up to four devices, including game consoles. This effectively gives you multiroom functionality without needing a Sky Q Mini box.
Sky Go Extra is an additional fee, although if you’re a Sky Multiscreen customer, Sky Go Extra is free.
