Sky Sports will be relaunching on Tuesday 18th July.

Sky Sports channels 1-5 are changing to become dedicated channels for individual sports, and two new channels – Sky Sports Action and Sky Sports Arena – will be joining the team.

Here’s all you need to know to enjoy the new line-up of channels – you just need to provide the armchair.

What’s the line-up?

Here’s what each new Sky Sports channel will offer:

Sky Sports Main Event
The new destination for the biggest live events

Sky Sports Premier League
The new home of the Premier League

Sky Sports Football
The home of EFL, SPFL, La Liga, Internationals and other football

What are the new channel numbers?

With these changes and dedicated sport channels some of your favourite channels may have a new channel number and name and have moved in the TV Guide.

There’s nothing you need to do, and don’t worry: the changes won’t affect your WishLists or your Favourites list.
