Finding the best TV packages for the sport your family wants

The great news is there’s now plenty of choice out there, with lots of TV providers offering Sport channels and a number of streaming options too. But which is the best overall package for Sport? Sometimes it’s hard to tell, so we’ve run through the main options and what you might want to consider before choosing a sport package for your TV.

Before you start – are you ready to switch providers?

This sounds really obvious, but we know from our research that many families are paying more than they need to, and could save up to £450 a year if they switched their TV and broadband.

But in order to get the best deal, you need to be willing to switch. If you’ve just started a new contract, or don’t want to leave your current provider, you probably won’t benefit.

Do you want an all-in bundle, or several different packages at once?

In theory, if you pick the exact packages you want when you need them, you can save the most money and have the best flexibility. In fact, that’s exactly what this site will allow you to do. Click here to access our package finder, where you can choose the precise channels/sports you want to watch, and we’ll find you the best deals around.

However, we know that for many busy households, they’d rather go for an all-inclusive bundle, where everything comes from 1 provider with one monthly bill. If that’s what you’d prefer, and you want to get the best TV package will all the sport included, read on.

We’ve compared the main TV providers ‘all-in’ packages including Sport channels, showing you how they differ, what you need to consider and the likely pricing. If you’ve got any comments or questions, please ask.
