Sky is raising prices for broadband and TV packages from Tuesday, April 1 even for customers who are mid-contract - but because of a legal loophole you could be able to cancel for no charge.

Sky has increased the prices of TV packages and broadband from April 1, 2025, including for existing customers mid-contract. From April 1, Sky TV and broadband customers will pay 6.2% more for their packages. That means a £30 per month deal becomes £31.86 per month, and a £40 per month deal becomes £42.48. But in January, regulator Ofcom changed the rules on phone and broadband, telling providers they would need to set out in pounds and pence how much a customer’s prices would increase during the course of the contract, at the outset.

Any supplier not doing so would have to give customers the right to cancel within 30 days instead.

Sky has opted to stick with percentage rises, with a 6.2% mid-contract price rise for customers from today, taking advantage of a loophole on price rises which will allow it to increase prices as a percentage instead of pounds and pence, but gives customers the ability to cancel within 30 days of a rise in exchange, as per Ofcom's new rules.

This, however, only applies to broadband and phone contracts, not to TV packages.

As the Express first reported,Sky says that the ability to cancel does not apply to its TV packages, only to broadband.
