Mix - Sport for everyone?? YES!!!! MIX IS HERE!!!!
Now TV customers will also benefit from the changes, with the 10 channels replacing the current seven in their sport passes at no extra cost.
One thing that isn't clear is the purpose of Main Event. To watch it, it seems you have to have the whole she-bang which seems to imply that it will have events that aren't on any of the other channels. To my mind that would mean big 6 Premier League games, Ryder Cup/Open Golf, Test Cricket and so on. So there is probably little point in having a single channel.

I think that should be 11 channels replacing the current 7.
This reboot of Sky Sports should include Sky Sports Mix for Now TV customers, it cannot be right that we pay £34 a month for Sky Sports but miss the events shown exclusively on the Mix channel.

- Sky Sports Cricket
More live games this summer than ever before
BT Sport will show all Australian Test Matches, One Day Internationals and T20 Internationals played in Australia, including the five-match Ashes Test Series against rivals England in 2017/18.
What is going to happen when this summer ends? No England cricket from November - January and IPL starts in April. October - March could be very sparse. I would have thought the same of Golf, but there seems to be always someone playing somewhere all year round.

Hi @Anonymous User,
The pricing structures for Sky's new Sports service have not been released yet... So keep an eye out for the 18th of July!
I suspect NOW TV's Sky's new Sports service will remain the same as it is now.

Pricing on the main Sky for the new channels:
One channel £18
Two for £22
Three for £26
All channels plus Main Event channel for £27.50 extra a month

What happens to those people with Now TV vouchers - I have quite a few unused Sky Sports ones...... 😕
And the cynical side of me sees this as another opportunity for Sky/Now TV to increase prices again (having already gone up from £31.99 to £33.99 pcm not so long ago...). 😞

Nothing will change. You'll still get access to all the sports channels as before, but in their new form.
