Yes, you can. To watch the Sky Sports channels in full HD, you'll need to upgrade to Boost or Ultra Boost. It costs just £6 a month or £9 for Ultra Boost, and for that you get:

  • All Sky Sports channels in 1080p with Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound - plus, all Sky Sports channels stream at 50 frames per second (except on LG TV and Xbox One & Series X/S)
  • Selected Sky Sports+ streams in full 1080p HD (where the video feed allows for higher stream quality. Dolby 5.1 surround sound not available)
  • With Ultra Boost, 4 dedicated UHD channels (Sky Sports Main Event & Sky Sports F1, plus 2 ad-hoc channels, Sky Sports UHD 1 & 2)

  • Plus you can stream on-demand sports ad-free (as well as ad-free shows and movies if you've got Cinema or Entertainment Membership). Find out more

Help tipIf you upgrade via our website, your account could take up to 4 hours to catch up. To get around this, you can trigger it to update by signing out of the NOW app and signing back in again. You'll then be able to enjoy Sky Sports in full HD or UHD. 

Boost or Ultra Boost will renew automatically each month (unless you cancel it) as long as you’ve got an active monthly membership. But if you’ve only got a Sports Day Membership on your account, your Boost or Ultra Boost will only run for one month, and won’t auto-renew – so you don’t need to remember to cancel it (unless you're subscribing via a third party, like Apple).

Good to knowYou'll need a compatible device and an internet speed of at least 12Mbps to stream in 1080p, or 30Mbps for UHD. Boost and Ultra Boost aren't available with Sports Mobile Membership. Find out more about Boost and Ultra Boost

The Sports Mobile Membership gives you 5 channels:

  • Sky Sports Premier League
  • Sky Sports Action
  • Sky Sports Mix
