Sky Cuts 24‑Month Contracts and Centers Offerings on Four Core Packages

The company says the change will make pricing and marketing clearer while customers should expect higher monthly fees after the first contract year.

Overview

  • Sky put the new tariff structure into effect on Thursday, June 18, 2026, replacing 24‑month minimum terms with 12‑month contracts and publishing clear first‑year and renewal prices.
  • The company consolidated its lineup into four core packages—All Fiction, All Sports, Best of Sky & Paramount+, and All of Sky & Paramount+—each with a lower first‑year monthly rate that rises after month 12.
  • Published prices include All Fiction at €19.99 rising to €24.99, All Sports at €34.99 rising to €39.99, Best of Sky & Paramount+ at €39.99 rising to €49.99, and All of Sky & Paramount+ at €49.99 rising to €59.99.
  • Sky says customers who do not renew after the 12‑month term are moved into a flexible, monthly‑cancelable model, but watchdog coverage warns many users will pay up to about €10 more per month if they do not renegotiate or cancel.
  • The shift matches wider industry moves to shorter commitments and bundled streaming partners like Netflix and Paramount+ and keeps optional add‑ons available so customers can still tailor packages.
