Sky Sports has introduced a new Sky Sports+ channel to its line-up, which launches this week at no extra cost to existing subscribers.
The new channel arrives in time for the new football season and with good reason. There’s going to be loads more games from the EFL on this channel. There’ll be more live tennis and more live rubgy too, as well as the first chance to see Sky’s award-winning sports documentaries.
Here’s what you can expect from Sky Sports +

What’s on Sky Sports Plus?
Sky promises hundreds of ours of live sport. The highlight of Sky Sports Plus is the access to loads more live football from the English Football League. Sky says there’ll be four times as many games as last season. All 72 EFL teams will be shown live more than 20 times a season.
If you’re watching a game, you’ll be able to hit the red button to see others from the EFL too. You can also use voice search to see the day’s fixtures.
There’ll be tennis tournaments with games shown live from every court. The same goes for the rugby Super League, where you’ll be able to see games from around the league.
Sky Sports+ will bring early access to Sky documentaries. The first is Mission to Burnley 2, which will air on Friday August 9 – at least two weeks before it’ll be shown elsewhere.
