What is the best way to watch sports in the UK?

Calling all you sports fanatics searching for the best way to watch sports in the UK!  After all, what’s better than watching the biggest sporting events each and every week all from the comfort of your own sofa?

You’ll be able to watch certain events with a standard TV that by law must be shown in full and live on non-subscription national UK channels. These include the Olympics, football and rugby World Cups, Wimbledon, the Grand National, and others. However, the rights to all other sporting events are sold off to the highest bidder, which generally means that the deep pockets of the TV providers have monopolised the market.

Here’s our guide to making sure you find the best package for you.

Sky Sports vs BT Sport
