It’s relatively easy to download the Sky Go app, but we’ve run through everything you’ll need to know about where to find it, supported devices, any additional costs, and what you’ll need to subscribe to before getting any use out of it.

Sky Go app: what can you watch on it?
As a Sky TV subscriber, you’ll be able to watch any of the content available to you through the Sky Go app. That means films, TV shows, and live sports are all on the table – while the app also incorporates free-to-air channels like ITV and Channel 4.
Depending on what kind of subscription you have, you may be able to access Sky Atlantic, which hosts a wide number of films, and has the UK broadcast rights for many HBO shows such as Chernobyl. Sky Cinema, too, adds in a slate of movies with (famously) a new film premiering on the service every day.
A Sky Sports-included subscription, too, will give you access to all the live sport from the “Premier League, EFL, England Cricket and more”.

You’ll only be able to download content that’s already available to you through your Sky TV package, of course, and there are some time restrictions around your ability to watch anything you select for download. Selected programming will remain for up to 30 days in your Sky Go app, and be available for 48 hours from the moment you start watching it.
We’re not sure if anyone wants to spend several weeks watching one football match, but it’s worth keeping the time limits in mind.
