Football and films in 4K UHD on Sky Q

Thinking of buying a 4K TV? Sky Q gives you some real incentive to go ahead. To get the best from 4K, you need content that was recorded, shot or mastered in the resolution. Sky Q, alongside Netflix and Amazon Prime, now has that content.

Football fans will love to watch the season in 4K on Sky Sports. Movie buffs can meanwhile enjoy the latest blockbusters and classics too.

How to get it

The Sky Q box comes in two choices – 1TB or 2TB. To watch 4K UHD content you need to choose the 2TB option.

Monthly packages start at £22 a month but the Sky Q 2TB box costs £199 for set up and installation. Football fans can add Sky Sports £27.50 per month.
