Sky Sport now costs up to CHF 29.90: Is the Pass still worth it for the Premier League, Formula 1 and tennis?

Since 1 August 2026, new prices have applied to the Sky Sport Pass in Switzerland. Depending on the Pass you choose, the cost is up to CHF 29.90 per month. The good news for sports fans is that the offer remains cancellable every month. You can therefore subscribe to the Pass specifically for a Formula 1 season, the decisive months of the Premier League or an important tennis tournament, and then cancel it afterwards.

Whether the new Sky Sport Switzerland price 2026 is worth it depends more on your sports profile than on the monthly amount alone. Sky Sport is particularly interesting for fans of international football, motorsport and tennis. If you want to watch Swiss football and ice hockey, however, you will generally need a different offer.

What is behind the price increase

Sky states that new prices for the Sky Sport Pass have applied since 1 August 2026. The highest communicated monthly price is CHF 29.90. The flexible term remains important: there is no long minimum contract period that ties you to a full season.

This distinguishes the Pass from many traditional TV subscriptions. If you stream a lot of sport for only a few months each year, you can control your costs more effectively. At the same time, the Pass is less worthwhile if you pay for twelve months but watch only individual races or matches.

The specific content available may change depending on the competition, season and broadcasting rights. Before subscribing, always check Sky’s current programme and the details of the Pass you have selected.

These sports make the case for Sky Sport

For some sports fans, Sky Sport remains an obvious choice despite the higher price. The main reason is the international live rights, which are not fully bundled with a single Swiss TV provider.

Premier League: relevant for English football fans

The Premier League is one of the strongest arguments in favour of Sky Sport. If you regularly follow top-level English football, a streaming Pass focused on international leagues is often more useful than a Swiss sports package centred on domestic competitions.

For occasional fans, the monthly cancellation option is particularly practical: you can activate the Pass for the decisive title race, the relegation battle or the knockout stages of European competitions. If you mainly watch the Super League, however, you should not subscribe to Sky Sport solely for football.

Formula 1: worthwhile for the entire season

Formula 1 is a sport for which an ongoing monthly subscription may be easier to justify. There are regular race weekends, practice sessions and qualifying sessions throughout the year. If you want to watch almost every Grand Prix, a separate sports Pass that can be cancelled flexibly is more convenient than searching for individual broadcasts.

The situation is different if you follow only selected races. In that case, compare the value each month: are there several events that interest you this month, or are you paying for the Pass just for one Sunday?

Tennis: good for fans of the major tours

Tennis can also make the Pass attractive, especially if you want to watch more than the Grand Slam tournaments. At many tournaments, matches run in parallel and over several days. A sports streaming offer is therefore more valuable for fans who follow players throughout the season than for viewers who only watch the finals.

Swiss football and ice hockey: Sky Sport is not the complete solution

When it comes to Swiss sports rights, it is particularly important to look closely. Swiss football and Swiss ice hockey are not automatically part of the core offering of a Sky Sport Pass focused on international rights. If you are mainly interested in the Super League, Swiss League or National League, you should look at offers focused on Swiss sport.

Here, blue Sport is often the obvious comparison option because the service focuses strongly on Swiss football and ice hockey. Which matches are actually included in your subscription depends on the current package and the respective rights. You can find an overview of TV and sports offers in the TV comparison.

DAZN is also not a universal replacement for Sky Sport. The service may be interesting for certain international leagues, individual sports or additional content. It replaces Sky only if the competitions you want to watch are currently shown there. Rights regularly move between platforms and can also change within just a few seasons.

Cost comparison by sports profile

Instead of assessing only the maximum price of CHF 29.90, consider how much content you actually use each month.

The key point: several sports subscriptions quickly add up. A Pass for the Premier League, Formula 1 and tennis can justify its price. If you also need a second service for Swiss football or ice hockey, however, you are paying for two different rights packages. It is then worth comparing the monthly costs with your existing Internet and TV subscription. The combined comparison provides some guidance.

Who Sky Sport is still worthwhile for

The Sky Sport Pass remains particularly interesting for you if at least two of these three areas regularly appear on your list: Premier League, Formula 1 and tennis. Thanks to the monthly cancellation option, you can also plan around the seasons and keep the Pass active only when your sports calendar is full.

The offer is less convincing if your focus is clearly on Swiss football or ice hockey. In that case, first check which service covers your league instead of combining several subscriptions speculatively.

Conclusion: up to CHF 29.90 per month is not a minor expense. For fans of the Premier League, Formula 1 and tennis, Sky Sport can still make sense because several international sports interests come together in one flexibly cancellable Pass. If you follow only one league or a few major events, a targeted seasonal subscription is usually the better option.
