How much does Netflix cost on Sky Q?
At the time of writing, you will need to pay £26 per month (pm) for Sky TV with Netflix included. It’s called Sky TV Ultimate and the offer requires installation costing £20 and an 18-month contract.
To break it, signature of the sky is your basic TV package with over 300 channels. It is normally £33 but is available for £22 for the duration of the contract. So Ultimate TV Supplement for £4 (normally £18) is your Netflix subscription.
Other packages are available if you want to include things like Sky Cinema or Sky Sports – these are £35 and £46 respectively.

How does billing work with Netflix on Sky?
If you already have a Netflix subscription, you will simply need to log into Sky with your existing details.
Sky will then contact Netflix and do all the paperwork so you can start paying Netflix through your Sky bill. Sky says you’ll save money compared to getting your subscriptions separately.

Getting them with Sky will cost 4h, 8h or 12h, saving you up to £3.99 per month or £71.82 on an 18 month contract.
How to use Netflix on Sky Q, Sky Glass and Sky Stream
In its simplest form, you can simply load the Netflix app into the Sky interface (located under “Apps” on Sky Glass) and use it as you would on any other device. You can sideload the app with Sky’s voice search and use it for voice search in Netflix.
The integration means you will also see and be able to access Netflix content from the Sky interface. So you’ll see Netflix shows like The Crown alongside Sky content on the home screen as well as other areas like On Demand (above).
If you’re accessing Netflix on Sky Glass, be sure to open and sign into the app directly on your TV, rather than a Stream Puck for secondary devices in your household.
