About

Sky Sports News History, Coverage, Features

Sky Sports is a group of television sports channels owned by the satellite pay-tv company Sky. Sky Sports is frequently referred to as the dominant sports brand in the United Kingdom and Ireland, mainly because it has played a major role in commercializing British sport since 1991. One of the most notable examples is their influence to create the Premier League in 1992. The first Sky Sports channel was launched on April 20, 1991.

In the past, Sky Sports used to number its channels to facilitate access to their users, but this approach was dropped in 2017, when the company decided to brand its channels with the sport they are dedicated to cover in most cases. 

Sky Sports News is one of Sky Sports’ channels available to all their subscribers. Sky Sports News has offered live coverage of breaking news since its launch in October 1998, with several general sports news shows being aired in this channel. Sky Sports News focuses on football, golf, cricket, netball, basketball, motor sports, and other disciplines covered by the company. There are no live games being covered by this channel.

Sky Sports News broadcasts its content in HD, as most of Sky Sports’ channels. Sky Sports News is one of three basic sports channels offered in all packages by Sky, along with Sky Sports Racing and Sky Sports News.

Unlike Sky Sports’ premium channels, Sky Sports News is not available on all pay-tv carriers in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Check local listings for availability.
