Each of Sky's broadband plans can be bundled with Sky Stream or Sky Glass for extra savings.
Compared to taking the services separately, Sky TV and broadband customers can save around £6 per month, or £144 over the length of the contract. It's a decent saving that makes bundling Sky TV and broadband worthwhile.
Sky offer the following broadband deals that can be bundled with Sky TV:
Each of these plans can be taken with Sky Essential TV or Sky Ultimate TV, which both include the exclusive live Sky Atlantic channel, as well as Netflix and Discovery+, and over 100 live channels.
Sky Ultimate TV also bundles an additional 42 premium live TV channels including Sky Max, Sky Showcase, Sky Crime, National Geographic and Comedy Central.
Customers can choose to sign up to the standard Sky Stream box, a small device that allows users to stream Sky TV over their broadband connection, or the Sky Glass TV set.
It's also possible to further customise Sky TV and broadband packages by adding premium channel packs including Sky Sports, Sky Cinema, TNT Sports, and Sky Kids, as well as taking the Sky Max add-on for a whole home WiFi guarantee.

Sky TV customers can choose to subscribe to Sky with the Stream Puck box or Sky Glass TV set.
The main difference between these options is the Sky Stream Puck box works with a customer's existing TV set, connecting via HDMI and over WiFi for the Internet. Whereas Sky Glass is a dedicated TV set with a built-in Sky box.
Sky Glass is much more expensive than Sky Stream, with the Stream box currently available with free setup (worth £39.95).
Customers who do want Sky Glass can spread the cost of their purchase over either a 24- or 48-month interest free loan. It's also possible to simply pay for the Sky Glass TV upfront in one payment.

Sky TV is available nationwide, and so too is Sky broadband, offering coverage to 98% of homes using both part fibre and full fibre networks where available.
Sky broadband provides a connection through the Openreach network, which has so far upgraded over 16 million premises to full fibre, or 50% of homes in the UK. The network also plans to upgrade a total of 25 million homes by the end of 2026.
Where full fibre is available Sky customers will be connected with a fibre optic cable installed directly to their home, which results in a faster and more reliable connection compared to older copper phone lines.
Households on a budget can opt for Sky Full Fibre 75, which offers the cheapest monthly price for full fibre to the home broadband with superfast download speeds.
It's worth noting however, Sky say customers will need a minimum download speed of 25Mbps to watch Sky in full 1080p HD, which is the standard format for Sky Stream and Sky Glass.
Customers who want to stream Sky TV in 4K Ultra HD, or with an additional box in a second room, will need a minimum download speed of 30Mbps.
All of Sky's broadband plans meet these minimum speeds, but customers who can choose a faster plan are less likely to experience any problems, especially if more than one occupant wants to go online at the same time.
The table above lists all of the special offers available to new customers signing up to a Sky TV and Broadband bundle.
Primarily, the main offer available from Sky is discounted prices for the minimum term, especially when customers take both services from the provider.
To be eligible for these offers customers will need to have not been subscribed to either a Sky TV or Sky broadband plan within at least the last 3 months.
We list the latest Sky TV and broadband deals available above, and keep our data updated on a weekly basis or as soon as the offers change. Often prices may be cheaper through our comparison service than on Sky's website directly, so it's important to use the 'Get deals' button above and sign up online to get the listed prices.
For customers who only want Sky TV or broadband, new customer offers can be found on our Sky TV deals and Sky broadband deals pages.
Sky TV and broadband deals are available with 24-month contract terms, and it's not possible for customers to exit these plans early without incurring early termination charges.
Sky don't specify exact annual price rises, but they do reserve the right to increase prices during minimum terms on a yearly basis. In April 2025, prices for Sky TV and broadband will be increasing by an average of 6.2%, although customers with Sky broadband will also be given the right to exit their contract if they want to reject the price rise.
While the minimum term contract on Sky TV when taken with a broadband bundle is 24 months, premium channel packs including Sky Sports, Sky Cinema, TNT Sports, Sky Kids, and the Ultra HD pack are available on 31-day rolling monthly terms.
Lastly, equipment provided to Sky customers, including the Sky Stream Puck box and Sky broadband router remain property of Sky and will need to be returned if a customer ends their service.
Those purchasing a Sky Glass TV set obviously do not need to return it at any point, but if they cancel their Sky TV subscription some of the features may no longer work.
Sky TV and broadband costs from £37 per month for Sky Essential TV and Sky Full Fibre 75 broadband, while Sky Ultimate TV and Sky Full Fibre 75 broadband costs from £41 per month.
Monthly prices include the Sky TV and broadband subscription as well as line rental and a home phone service with pay as you go calls.
Sky Stream and Sky Glass can both be taken as standalone packages and will work with any broadband connection, as long as download speeds are at least 25Mbps.
Sky TV can also be bundled with Sky broadband for exclusive savings compared to taking the services separately.
Sky TV and broadband deals all come with line rental included and the ability to make and receive calls on a pay as you go basis.
Customers can also choose to bundle an inclusive call plan, including Talk Evening & Weekends for off-peak calls, and Talk Anytime for unlimited calls to UK landlines and UK mobiles.
Sky Entertainment includes over 140 live TV channels as well as a selection of on-demand content, including box sets and exclusive Sky Originals programming.
The base TV pack includes channels such as Sky Max, Sky Showcase, Sky Atlantic, Sky Nature, and Sky Documentaries, as well as National Geographic and the Discovery suite of channels.
Sky TV offers a range of original TV content including well-known dramas like Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon, Yellowjacket, Euphoria, Westworld, and Gangs of London.
Both the Sky Stream Puck box and Sky Glass sets provide support for a wide range of on-demand apps.
Customers can access both free and subscription-based apps including Disney+, Paramount+, Apple TV+, Discovery+, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hayu, Spotify, Amazon Music, STV Player, BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Channel 4 and My5.
