I've only got BT Sport so I'm going to see what happens but....

"Sky have confirmed that paying customers can pause their Sky Sports subscriptions during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

The channels will have reduced sports coverage over the coming months with almost all sporting events currently cancelled or postponed, including the Premier League and Football League.

Under pressure from viewers now not receiving value for their money, Sky and BT Sport previously said that they would not be refunding customers who were missing out on their usual bumper sports packages with English football currently their biggest draw.

But Sky have now announced that subscribers to their sports channels can now press pause on their subscriptions without charge and resume when sporting events return.

Currently, you are unable to pause your Sky subscription online and must do so over the phone.
Others sports broadcasters, such as BT Sport, are yet to confirm if they will follow suit."


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Anybody who is successful in dealing with Sky, please pass on how they did it and what phone number was used.

I have tried several but have been confronted with the inevitable multitude of options which naturally do not include what you want or unbelievably to be told “ due to the extraordinary circumstances and high level of demand there is a reduced service” ??

I’ve just paused my sports subscription. Because I’m a priority customer they answered straight away. Details below

How do I pause my Sky Sports subscription?

You'll need to contact Sky on 0800 151 2747 if you want to pause your service, as it says you won't be able to do so online.

I've just had an email from them saying you'll be able to do it online from Friday.

Presumably, if the season is written off.  But this is probably the reason that clubs are desperate for all games to be played.
