That's what I do. I pay for BT Sport and my dad pays for Sky, which I can stream on Xbox.
Cheapest way of watching the football this season? (UK)
- Thread starter Solius
- Start date
The Norwegian company with the PL broadcasting rights will lose their rights next summer(contract expires). In a final push to squeeze out as much money as possible they made a price bump of roughly 60% 
They've done similar bullshit before, but never to such an extent. I'll be boycotting them this season. As will many of my friends.

I pay £19 per month for Sky Sports HD on top of £23 per month for Sky Signature and Netflix combined. Which I think is a decent deal.
Then I think I probably get ripped off a bit by BT, I pay £28 for broadband and phone (not that anyone actually uses a house phone anymore) and get BT Sport via a BTTV box for £14.
So £33 per month all in for the two lots of sport.
Threatening to cancel usually goes a long way to getting a better deal.

Been on the phone all morning 
Got BT to offer me broadband and HD Sports package (which I can downgrade any time) for £69.99 as a new customer. The broadband is 100 mbs better and the same price as my current one (which is actually about to rise by £5).
Not bad I guess considering what I was doing before was Now TV at £33.99 and BT Monthly Pass at £25.99. So £60 on it's own not including broadband.

The person asked for ways to watch football not life coaching. I'm sure they are a big boy or girl that can work this out themselves.
He was only messing
Fair play, it's hard to work out online haha apologies PexboHe was only messing
It was an easy spot. Nobody is going to be able to give up avocado and oatmilk in this day and age. Sparkling water at a push. But even that’s a bit far.
Already get BT via Virgin, not paid by me. Think I'm going to pay the £33 a month for Now TV Sky Sports. Missed the £25 a month deal by a couple of days after discovering the excellent free source I watched games on last season had closed down.
I'm ok with other free streams but my dad, who I often watch games with won't be able to figure that out and I'm going to miss more matches this season anyway. Might as well pay up so he can at least see them if I'm at work. Waiting until after the 22nd of August to sub so that I'll get the last day of the season in there before cancelling at the end of May.
Not sure of the details but I saw that Sky customers can add just the 2 main football channels for £18 a month. It's Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Football.

^ That's a great deal but not for the extra £159 it'll cost me for a TV license

Nord VPN + peacock tv seems the cheapest and best option for me from Denmark. I do have a US credit card though.
What channels do you get on this deal?
NOW TV is available for £20 per month
All sport channels
Not if you pay for a decent VPN
Does it not have to be one household though?
Just renewing my Canadian DAZN. $149.99 a year (86.09 pounds today). I hate the service - lots of "error" messages and sometimes the buffering is crazy but I do get all the EPL games as well as the Rugby internationals.
I have Nord but yeah speeds have improved since VPNs first came about.
Cheers for that
No, with the boost on nowtv you can't watch on 2 or 3 devices at once, I forget how many it is
Ah wish I could do this in Ireland. That's a great deal. Here theres a sale of 20 quid for 3 months. Yay ...
Hi everyone. Hope this helps but this is true. I work for Sky ( don't judge me ) and we have had comms saying customers can add the 2 sports channels listed above for £18 a month on top of your sky package. This will also be a rolling contract so you can cancel once the season has finished. Obviously your sky basic package would be a 18 month contract though so you would be paying £25 ish after the sports have finished.
To answer the questions in OP, cheapest way to watch would be If you knew anybody who works for Sky and ask them for a family and friends discount code....
You can watch on two devices anywhere or 3 if you have the boost. It's not limited by IP or anything like that as far as I'm aware.
this may sound like a stupid question - is there a way to watch Sky coverage outside UK? is VPN the only way to get it?
Is IPTV not a thing in the UK ? I get Sky, BT & hundreds of other sports channels for about £80 a year. You do need a good internet connection but I've been using it for 5 years & super happy.
It probably would be if you were paying for Sky as well.
I had a great thing going with Sky and BT from me da's package for the past 10 years.
My youngest brother signed up to Sky sports/movies and BT and was supposed to pay but me da never charged him and we were all using it. The little fecker moved in with his girlfriend during lockdown and me da immediately cancelled it so it's streams all the way. Am I feck paying three different companies to watch all the United Games.
Oh threatening to cancel's one I've not tried yet.
This rarely ever happens anymore to me. The age of buffering in streams disappeared a couple of years ago ever since Footy Bite came onto the scene. They've got about 7-8 consistent streamers who don't buffer.
It's a thing but... people are happy paying that £80 a month.. madness
BT announced the rights to Serie A today.
Another good reason for those who don't already have BT.

In case anyone missed this...
I really don't understand why people are paying that . One month would pay a year of IPTV. !!
Can you not bring on a PL day pass for 5 euros. I dont watch any other sport other than the football.
If you want cheap football go to the Emptyhad on match day, they pay you to go in.
Lost the Bundesliga though. I feel sorry for people paying for Sky etc.
People who get buffering get fed up but don’t realise that 90% of the time it’s just down to the setup in the home. If you set it up properly, IPTv is flawless.
