Sky Glass TV Channels And Apps: The Full List

The streaming-based TV from Sky, Sky Glass has been around since 2021, marking the first step in Sky’s shift towards streaming services. In addition to Sky’s channels and the Freeview channels, it also includes streaming apps – much like other streaming devices.

One of Sky’s 4K QLED TV’s prominent features is the ability to stream Freeview channels (as well as Sky’s own channels) via broadband – without an aerial or a satellite dish.

That was a significant change for Sky, along with the promise of contract-free content (so you don’t have to get a fixed long-term contract with Glass).

Since its launch, Sky has kept adding Freeview channels and premium streaming services and apps to Glass. Today, while the list is not as comprehensive as dedicated streaming devices (like Amazon’s Fire TV or Roku), most of the major UK streaming services are there – but not all.

The same can be said about the selection of Freeview channels on Sky Glass – most of the major ones are available, but some, including a few popular channels like SportyStuff TV, That’s TV and the NOW music channels that you can normally get with an aerial – are still missing.

Also, the list isn’t even identical to Sky Q’s list of apps and channels – but the differences aren’t as big these days.

Sky Glass shares a lot with its young brother, Sky Stream, which Sky launched last year – including the list of available channels and apps, and the way it records some content to the cloud.

Sky Glass Streaming Apps

Since its launch, Sky has added several additional streaming apps to Sky Glass that weren’t there in the beginning.

However, note that some content partners won’t show up as “apps”, but instead require a direct subscription via Sky – BT Sport is one such example.

And, just because an app is available, doesn’t mean its service is part of your Sky subscription – you will still have to sign up and pay for premium 3rd party services like Amazon’s Prime Video, Disney+ and the rest.

Here’s the full list of Sky Glass apps, as of this writing:

BBC iPlayer – The catch-up and streaming app from the BBC, with thousands of back-catalogue programmes, and the ability to stream live channels.

ITVX – The catch-up and box-sets streaming app from ITV, with thousands of shows and films, including many exclusive productions.

Channel 4 (Previously All4) – The catch-up and streaming app from Channel 4, where you can watch live streaming of the channels, as well as thousands of box-sets from the past.

My5: Channel 5’s streaming and catch-up app was curiously missing from Stream for a long time – but it was finally added in 2023.

STV Player – The on-demand video streaming service of the popular Scottish broadcaster, with box-sets and exclusive programmes.

Netflix – Netflix needs no introductions at this point. Sky Stream’s “default” package already includes the basic tier of Netflix, which is good for one screen at a time, and SD video quality (but you can upgrade to HD or 4K).

Amazon’s Prime Video – Amazon’s streaming video service, with programmes and films (see our Prime Video review). Most of the content requires a paid Prime Video membership (you can get a 30-day free trial).

Prime Video also offers many Prime Video Channels, which is a way to get some channels that are otherwise missing from Sky.

Disney+ – The popular streaming subscription service from Disney, with content from the worlds of Disney, Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars and National Geographic, as well as more “mature” content in its Star category (see our Disney+ review).

Paramount+ – The streaming service with TV programmes and films from CBS, Showtime and Paramount. Sky Cinema subscribers (on Sky Q, Sky Stream and Sky Glass) get Paramount+ for free.

Apple TV+ – Apple’s subscription streaming service had a rocky start, but now includes plenty of critically acclaimed programmes such as Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, Severance and more.

Discovery+ – The streaming service that replaced Discovery’s Dplay (which was totally free), with a combined offering of both free and “premium”channels. Sky Stream (as well as Sky Q and Sky Glass) customers can currently get Discovery+ at no extra cost.

YouTube – Google’s massive video site.

LIONSGATE+ – A subscription-based localised streaming-only version of the US premium channel Starz, with premium TV shows and films.

YouTube Kids – The curated child-focused version of YouTube, that only holds age-appropriate content.

Spotify – The popular music streaming service, with more than 60 million songs – there’s a free tier (with adverts), and a Premium paid tier.

Amazon Music – Amazon’s music streaming service, with more than 60 million songs.

BBC Sounds – The BBC radio app, which includes both live versions of BBC’s radio channels, as well as a rich library of podcasts and radio dramas.

RadioPlayer – Stream live radio stations.

Global Player – Capital Radio’s streaming app, with live radio stations and thousands of podcasts.

XITE – A free music videos app that offers a “personalised video experience”, where you can build playlists catered to you.

Vevo – The ultimate place to watch official music videos and live performances – with some being exclusive to the service.

Peloton – A subscription-based workout and fitness app, where you can watch (and take part in) studio-style workouts.

PlayWorks – Games that you can play directly on your TV screen, by using the Sky Stream remote. The games include classics like Tetris, Solitaire and Mah Jongg, as well as mobile hits like Doodle Jump and Crossy Road.

Sky Kids Games – Native games for Sky Stream, which you can play with your remote.

GolfPass – A subscription-based service that brings you golf tuition from the world’s best players and coaches as well as exclusive shows, Golf Channel films, programming, original content and live feeds.

Highbrow – a children’s subscription video-on-demand service with educational videos.

Some notable apps that we would love to see on Sky Glass in the future, but are currently missing, are Pluto TV, Plex, Twitch and others.

And as strange as it sounds, it also would have been useful to have a NOW (Formerly NOW TV) app on Sky Glass – Yes, Sky’s TV is all about streaming directly from Sky with a Sky subscription.

But if you buy the TV, and then stop your Sky subscription at some point – you might want the cheaper option to watch some of Sky’s content. Well, that’s not possible (also see our full comparison of Sky Glass VS NOW).

Sky Glass: Freeview And Sky Channels

As with Sky Stream, Glass uses broadband to deliver Freeview, Sky and other premium TV channels to your TV.

Linear channels are accessed via the device’s Electronic Programme’s Guide (similar to how it works on Sky Q or a Freeview box) – but instead of coming to you via an aerial or a satellite dish – all channels are streamed via broadband.

Also remember that some of these channels (like Sky Cinema, Kids and Sports) require an extra subscription on top of Sky Glass’ basic £26-£29/month Sky Ultimate package.
