You can either pay for BT Sport directly or get it free or discounted if you take a BT Broadband subscription. However you skin it, if you want any of those BT Sport channels in HD, it’s going to cost you an extra £5/month on top of everything.

Here’s all of your available options and how they break down.

The direct cost of BT Sport on Sky TV is £21.66/month. This gives you BT Sport 1, BT Sport 2 and ESPN in standard definition.

Sky TV currently starts at £20/month for a package with a Sky+ box. Sky Q subscriptions start at £42/month. Note that these prices are going up from June onwards to £22.50/month and £44/month.

Sky+ subscriptions come with a 500GB Sky+HD set-top box as standard, which lets you record roughly 185 hours of standard TV or 60 hours of HD TV, is included free of charge.

The basic Sky Q set-top box that comes with the £42/month subscription features a 1TB hard drive. This lets you record up to 150 hours of HD TV.

Together, BT Sport without BT Broadband costs £41.99 with the cheapest Sky+ package and £63.99/month with the cheapest Sky Q service.

With the £5/month charge for BT Sport in HD added, these prices rise to £46.99/month and £69.99/month.

Bt Sport Not Working On Virgin Tv Go

When you sign up for any BT Broadband, there’s a hidden option that allows you to get the BT Sport 1 channel on your Sky TV box for no extra cost.

As the bulk of BT’s Premier League games are broadcast on this channel, it’s a good option for thrifty football fans that’ll see you saving £72 a year.

We explain exactly how Sky customers can benefit from this here. Total prices are as follows:

BT Sport on Virgin TV costs £18/month. This gets you BT Sport 1, BT Sport 2, BT Sport ESPN and BT Sport Europe in SD and HD.

You currently don’t have the option of paying less for the SD channels on their own here.

The cheapest Virgin TV deal you can take on its own is More TV. This costs £20/month on its own or for £10/month for the first 12 months (£15/month thereafter) when taken with a Virgin Phone line (£17.99/month for standard line rental).

More TV can also be included as part of a Big Bundle, consiting of cable TV, broadband and landline calls. Big Bundles start at £15/month plus line rental.

You’ve got the option of taking either a 500GB or 1TB TiVo box. In terms of recording space, the 500GB box lets you record up to 250 hours of standard definition TV or 50 hours of HD TV. The 1TB box has room for double that – 500 hours of SD or 100 hours of HD TV.

How much is BT Sport on BT TV?

Related: BT line rental and line rental saver jumping up in 2016BT Sport in standard definition is included free of charge with all BT TV packages. You need to take a broadband service from BT in order to get BT TV.

The cheapest BT broadband service right now costs £5/month plus line rental (£18.99/month for the standard rate). This gives you an up to 17Mbps service with a 12GB usage cap.

If you want a broadband service with unlimited downloads, then your cheapest option will cost you £13/month plus line rental.

The cheapest BT TV package available now is the Starter service – so cheap, in fact, that there’s no monthly fee for first year and £4/month after that. There is, however a one off activation charge of £49.

The set-top box you get with BT TV Starter is driveless, so you can’t record any matches, but it does have a 15-minute time buffer so you can pause and rewind live TV.

If you want to get BT Sport in HD, that’ll cost you an extra £5/month. You’ll also have to take a BT Infinity broadband service as well. BT says that its FTTC (Fibre to the Cabinet) packages provide the necessary bandwidth to deliver BT Sport in HD.

The cheapest BT Infinity 1 package costs £10/month plus line rental for a service that gives you a 52Mbps top speed and a 25GB data cap.

The cheapest BT Infinity 1 package with unlimited downloads costs £20/month plus line rental for the same top speeds and weekend landline calls included.

A £49 activation fee applies to all BT Infinity services.

If you want to be able to record games, you’ll need to get the Essential TV package which is the next rung up and gives you a box with a 500GB hard drive. This equates to roughly 300 hours of SD recordings and 125 hours of HD recording.

Again, if you want to get those BT Sport channels in HD as well, you’ll need to sign up for a BT Infinity package. The cheapest BT TV package you can get with BT Infinity that lets you record shows is Entertainment Plus. This costs £10/month, comes with the same 500GB YouView set-top box, plus 27 premium channels including Comedy Central, SyFy, Gold and more.

Here’s how all of the packages above work out when the cost of BT TV Essential and Entertainment Plus is added:

Essentials TV costs £5/month for the first 12 months and £10/month for the last six. This gives you a basic TV service which features a 15 minute time buffer (allowing you to pause and rewind live TV) but as there’s no hard drive, you can’t record any matches.

TalkTalk Plus TV costs £20/month and comes with a set-top box with a 350GB hard drive, allowing you to record up to 200 hours of SD programmes and 80 hours in HD.

Both packages come with an unlimited ADSL broadband service (up to 17Mbps, no traffic shaping) included, for which you’ll need to pay line rental. The standard rate of line rental is £17.70/month. You can pay for a year’s worth up front for £191.16, which saves you £21.24.

As reported back in May, you won’t be able to take any BT Sport channels in HD.

Can I get BT Sport on Freeview, YouView, EE TV or Freesat?

BT does on occasion broadcast a handful of key games on BT Sport Showcase, a kind of teaser channel that’s available on all DTT (Digital Terrestrial TV) platforms including Freeview, YouView and EE TV.

While you can’t currently get any BT Sport content on your TV via a Freesat box you may be able to in future; the platform has been given the go-ahead for pay TV sports content delivered over an Internet connection. It’s currently unclear if this means BT Sport is headed to Freesat or not.
