If you subscribe to Sky Sports, you can now watch new features including Race Control, highlights and replays, as well as even more live football, rugby and tennis

By Virgin TV Edit

Whether you’re a diehard Red or a petrolhead (or anything in between), Sky Sports customers armed with a Stream box or Virgin TV 360 can now get even more from your package with Sky Sports+ and the new Sky Sports interactive app – available at no extra cost.

 

Now when you press the red button at the bottom of the remote (not the Record button) on a Sky Sports channel, you’ll get access to lots more live sport and loads of cool features. Not watching on Stream or Virgin TV 360? Find out how to ugpgrade.

 

Sky Sports+ is showing much more live football from the EFL and EFL Cup than ever before this season. When there’s more than one live game on Sky Sports, you’ll be able to experience effortless HD match selection when you tap that red button. Perfect if you’re keeping tabs on more than one game and want to hop around. Sky Sports+ is also the place to go for live tennis and rugby league matches. 

 

There’s even more for football fans. The new interactive app allows you to browse the latest news, tables and highlights clips. Plus, if you’re watching the football live, you’ll find in-game recap clips – perfect if you want to replay a goal over and over or you want to restart a household argument about why VAR has got it wrong again.

 

If you love F1, then the Sky Sports interactive app also has you covered by giving you access to Race Control screens along with recap clips, just in case you missed any of the action. For tennis fans, Sky Sports Tennis is packed with more action than can fit in a channel, so the app helps ensure you can watch your favourite players live.

 

What’s more, you don’t need to do anything to get these extra features. Through the magic of your box, it’s done automatically.

How to upgrade your TV package

If you watch on our TiVo® box or V6 box (powered by TiVo), you can get all the action on Sky Sports+ on CH 508 in HD (or SD on CH 518) or the Sky Sports app. You can’t get the Sky Sports+ Red Button, though, so if that sounds like something you want then it’s super-simple to upgrade your Virgin TV box. Just contact us on 0345 454 1111 (or call 150 from a Virgin Media phone).
