Sky TV Black Friday deals: how to save money and get free Netflix inc. Sky Sports, Cinema and Kids
Sky Sports, Sky Cinema and Sky Kids too
Due to it being one of the most expensive streaming services in the UK, the existence of a Sky TV Black Friday deal is a great way to save money while you sign up... and thankfully, there are multiple!
While Black Friday itself is on Friday, November 29, a few platforms have already begun offering streaming deals and Sky TV is one of them. You can find them listed below.
Sky TV is perhaps the best way for TV fans in the UK to watch most of the biggest US TV shows including House of the Dragon, The Day of the Jackal, True Detective, Sweetpea and newly Dune: Prophecy.
The extra Sky TV packages like Sky Cinema, Sky Sports and Sky Kids all give more content that you can't find anywhere else. This all comes at a high price, with the cheapest tier costing you at least £26, but that's why Black Friday is really important.
So read on to find out what you need to know about the Sky TV discounts, to find a way to save money.

Sky TV Black Friday deals
First, let's look at Sky TV's streaming deals (as in, ones that don't include broadband or mobile contracts, and aren't on TVs).
Price per month for 24-month contract
The 'basic' Sky TV bundle gets you access to the streamer's library, main channels and a streaming box to use it on, with a Netflix ad plan thrown in at no additional cost. £7 off per month is a sizeable saving (more than the cost of that Netflix subscription!) and it equals £168 saved over two years.
Price per month for 24-month contract
Sports fans around the UK treat Sky Sports as the go-to way to enjoy various matches and games, with many channels dedicated to activities like tennis, cricket, F1 and golf. A saving of £7 per month lets you save over £150 over two years, and this package also comes with access to the main Sky TV library as well as a Netflix account and a streaming box to use with your TV.
Price per month for 24-month contract
The ultimate streaming service for cinephiles is Sky Cinema, which is how many Hollywood movies get released in the UK. With this deal, the Sky Cinema bundle is only £10 per month over the standard bundle, which is basically the price of a cinema ticket for unlimited film streaming.
Price per month for 24-month contract
For entire families, this Sky TV bundle is the best: it has everything from the above deal plus Sky Kids, with programming for younger audiences. A saving of £168 over two years applies, as with the other versions of the deal.

The end date for these Sky TV deals is Tuesday, December 3, which is the day after Cyber Monday.
With no date provided for the other deals, it's possible that these will end on that date too. However there's always the chance that they could be pulled earlier, or remain later.
Can existing Sky TV customers get these Black Friday deals?
Sky has confirmed that nearly all of its Black Friday deals are only for new customers.
The one exception is on the Sky Glass deals, which doesn't have this stiplation in Sky's Ts&Cs, so you can likely get the TV discount if you're already subscribed to the platform.
Will there be any more Sky TV Black Friday deals?
Sky TV changes its deals on offer quite frequently throughout the year, but that probably won't happen with the Black Friday deals.
The discounts you see above will likely remain in place
Which Sky TV Black Friday deal should you go for?
If you're in doubt, I'd recommend sticking with the default Sky TV bundle which includes Sky Stream, access to the main Sky TV library and the free Netflix account.
Sports fans can go for the Sky Sports bundle — it'll be worth it if you want to watch live games, but certainly won't if you're just curious.
The Sky Cinema bundle is good for movie fans, but most of its offerings are ones that have played in cinemas. So if you like to go for a weekly movie trip, you may have already seen everything it offers.
