So what is Sky Sports+?
Launching this August, Sky Sports+ will be integrated into Sky TV, streaming service NOW and the Sky Sports app – giving Sky Sports customers access to over 50 per cent more live sport this year at no extra cost.
With the capability to show up to 100 live events via concurrent streams, Sky Sports+ makes it easier for fans to find and watch their team.
I am a Sky subscriber, do I need to pay extra to watch my team?
No!
Customers with a full Sky Sports subscription won’t need to do a thing.
Once live, Sky Sports+ will simply drop into the existing Sky experience, across Sky Glass, Sky Stream, Sky Q, and NOW.
The revamped Sky Sports app will also become the ultimate home of sports streaming on mobile devices with Sky Sports+ streams accessible directly from the app.

I am NOT a Sky subscriber, how can I watch my team?
For instant, contract-free access to all Sky Sports channels, non-Sky subscribers can purchase a NOW Sports Day or Month Membership.
From August, this will also include every single live Sky Sports+ stream and on demand catch-up content.
Which games will be live on Sky?
Each full weekend of EFL fixtures will see 10 live matches shown – including three Championship, two League One and two League Two matches all broadcast live at 12.30pm on Saturdays.
All opening weekend, final day, and midweek fixtures in the EFL will be shown live, as will all games played on Bank Holidays including Easter, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.
The matches played in League One and League Two during international breaks will also be available live.
For the first time ever, fans will be also able to watch every match from the Carabao Cup and Bristol Street Motors Trophy.
Will fixtures keep moving if they are broadcast?
While some matches will be rescheduled for broadcast purposes, the majority of fixtures won’t be moved.
How long in advance will I know about fixture changes?
All live matches selected for broadcast up to the FA Cup third Round in January 2025 will be communicated before the start of the season.
Live league matches in August and September will be released first, by early July.
Greater parity in the number of times that clubs are selected for TV coverage is also guaranteed.
