Sky has announced a limited-time promotional offer for its Essential TV customers, providing them with complimentary access to over 35 additional channels. This upgrade is available for one week without any extra charges, allowing subscribers to enjoy a wider variety of content.
Overview of the Upgrade Offer
The upgrade to Sky Ultimate TV is specifically designed for customers on the Sky Essential TV plan. This plan is the provider’s most affordable option, priced at £15 per month. With this promotional upgrade, customers can experience premium channels at no added cost until October 16.
Details of the Newly Included Channels
- Sky Max
- Sky Crime
- Sky Documentaries
- U&Gold

These channels typically aren’t part of the Essential TV package. During the promotional period, subscribers can stream popular shows such as “The Paper,” “Brassic,” and “Mr Bigstuff” without incurring additional fees.
Permanent Upgrade Options
Should customers wish to retain their access to the expanded channel lineup after the promotional period, a permanent upgrade to Sky Ultimate TV will be available for an additional £3 per month. This means that the total monthly subscription would be £18.
The Ultimate TV package offers even more content, including Netflix and Discovery+, which are bundled with the Essential plan. Normally, the Sky Ultimate TV subscription costs £22 per month on a standard 24-month contract.
Additional Features and Offerings
Subscribers can enhance their viewing experience by adding Sky Sports and Sky Cinema to their packages for £20 and £10 per month, respectively. If you are not yet a Sky customer, Sky Essential TV serves as a budget-friendly entry point into paid television services.
In addition to a decent selection of channels, which includes Sky Atlantic, customers also receive access to 90 free channels. The package offers a Sky Stream puck, allowing access to all channels and on-demand content via the internet. There are also options to improve picture and audio quality, with boosts available up to HDR and Dolby Atmos.
