ON the fence about getting a Sky subscription? It could be worth waiting until Black Friday to sign up to the media service.
In years past, Sky has cut the prices of some of its key packages, including TV, broadband and mobile, when the November sales bonanza rolls around.

When is Black Friday 2022?
Black Friday will take place on November 25 this year.
The sales event always lands the day after Thanksgiving in America, which itself is the fourth Thursday in November.
Is Sky taking part in Black Friday 2022?
We don’t have official confirmation if Sky is taking part in Black Friday this year, but, based on previous years, we’d be surprised if it wasn’t.
We’ll update this page with the latest offers as and when they go live.
What to expect from Sky’s Black Friday sale in 2022
In years past, Sky has had a range of offers to find on TV packages, broadband subscriptions and mobile phone contracts.
While we don’t know the details, we’d expect to see discounts on all the above again in 2022.
Previously, Black Friday has been a good opportunity to find a discount on Sky TV packages, such as Sky Sports and Entertainment.
When is Cyber Monday 2022 and is Sky taking part?
Cyber Monday always follows Black Friday weekend, so this year it’ll be on November 28.
In recent years Cyber Monday has been an extension of Black Friday, so we’d expect any deals that were live on Friday to still be going on Monday.

Can existing Sky customers get Black Friday deals?

You can find out more here.
Is Black Friday a good time to buy TV or broadband?
Black Friday is a great time of year to look for a new TV or broadband deal. All the different providers are likely to offer discounts, so if you’ve let your introductory offer slip onto a rolling contract then switching providers or getting a new package could save you a bundle.
It might be worth waiting until all the providers have launched their Black Friday deals before you spend your money, though.
TV and internet packages can’t sell out, so you might as well see what offers are available on Black Friday to get the best price.
What channels do you get with Sky?
The exact number of channels you’ll get with Sky depends on the packages you purchase.
To give you an idea, the Entertainment bundle, which is Sky’s basic offering, includes roughly 100 channels, in addition to the Freeview ones, for a total of around 250.
The Sky Sports bundle offers 10 additional sports channels, while Sky Cinema adds 11 film channels. Netflix Basic is also included in all of Sky’s TV packages.
How to get Sky TV
Getting a Sky TV subscription is quite easy. All you have to do is go to the official site, click on the “Get started” button, then build your own package.
The basic one is only £25 a month, but there are currently several Black Friday deals, so it may be worth to step up your game and get as many packages as you can, while sales last.
Is Sky Q worth having?
We think so! Sky Q has replaced the old Sky+ box and now comes as standard in any Sky subscription.
There are lots of advantages to owning a Sky Q box, including the ability to record three things at the same time while watching a fourth.
The Sky Q box also allows you to stream your channels to one tablet, and can even act as a Wi-Fi hotspot. And with Sky Q, you can purchase extra Mini boxes to have access to all your channels in different TVs in your home.
Right now, in its Black Friday sale, Sky is offering a Sky Q and Superfast Broadband package for £32 per month for 18 months with a one-off set-up price of £29.95.

Does Sky Q require a dish in 2021?
Yes, in order to receive the Sky signal you will need to have a dish, as Sky TV is provided by satellite.
The good news is: if there is already a dish on your property, Sky will send an engineer out to get you connected.
Or if you want to be ahead of the curve, Sky recently launched Sky Glass – its high-end TV that doesn’t require a satellite dish or box.
Does Sky offer any other discounts?
Sky offers some great discounts for NHS staff through Health Service Discounts. Students who are members of UNiDAYS can also get 25% off a SKY TV membership.
