FOOTBALL fans with selected Sky TV services will gain access to two more channels just in time for the 2024-25 season.
Sky‘s newer services Sky Glass and Sky Stream have been missing this duo since their launch.
Sky Glass was the company’s first internet-based platform built directly into a bespoke TV, unveiled in 2021.
Sky Stream is the company’s tiny set-top box version of Sky Glass that allows you to watch via the internet using your existing TV instead.
Their channel offering differs slightly from the main Sky Q service which relies on traditional satellite and a dish.
Now the difference in sports channels available has just narrowed.
MUTV and LFCTV, channels dedicated to Manchester United and Liverpool fans respectively, will be available on Sky Glass and Sky Stream next week.
Just like on Sky Q and Sky+ HD, the channels are still premium standalone extras.
So if you want them as part of your package, you’ll have to pay £7 per month.
The channel numbers are slightly different for the UK and the Republic of Ireland, which you will find below.

Both stations will join Sky Glass and Sky Stream on July 10.
It also means if you switch from Sky Q to the internet-based alternatives you should get a seamless transition.
The move comes as the broadcaster prepares to launch 100 extra sports channels later this summer.
Sky Sports+ will host of bonus content that is not currently shown on the linear channel, as well as exclusive access to Sky’s sporting documentaries.
It brings a significant increase in live sports coverage to paying customers, which Sky says is 50 per cent more than the standard channel.
The content boost, which will see up to 100 sporting events air at a time, will also be available to Virgin Media and EE TV customers too.
Sky Sports+ will broadcast over 1,000 EFL games per season, thanks to a new partnership between Sky and the English Football League (EFL).
