About
Sky Sports Football History, Coverage, Features
Sky Sports is a group of television sports channels owned by the satellite pay-tv company Sky. Sky Sports is frequently referred to as the dominant sports brand in the United Kingdom and Ireland, mainly because it has played a major role in commercializing British sport since 1991. One of the most notable examples is their influence to create the Premier League in 1992. The first Sky Sports channel was launched on April 20, 1991.
In the past, Sky Sports used to number its channels to facilitate access to their users, but this approach was dropped in 2017, when the company decided to brand its channels with the sport they are dedicated to cover in most cases.
Sky Sports Football is one of Sky Sports’ channels to be rebranded, with its entire focus being football tournaments that don’t take place in the United Kingdom or have to do with top-tier competitions in the region. In the past, Sky Sports Football has covered the EFL Championship, Carabao Cup games, La Liga matches, Scottish Premier League games, MLS matches, and European Football Championship qualifiers. Sky Sports Football has also aired home games involving the following National Football teams: Scotland, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, and Wales.
Sky Sports Football broadcasts its content in HD, as most of Sky Sports’ channels. Sky Sports Football is one of eight premium channels available over the basic Sky package, along with Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League, Sky Sports Cricket, Sky Sports Arena, Sky Sports Golf, Sky Sports F1, and Sky Sports Action.
All of Sky Sports’ premium channels, such as Sky Sports Football, may also be available on other pay-tv carriers in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Check local listings for further details.
