Good news for Formula 1 fans: New subscription model from Sky Deutschland

The sports channel Sky Deutschland is reorganising its subscription packages. The pay-TV provider, which holds the exclusive rights to broadcast the MotoGP World Championship and the Formula 1 World Championship, amongst other events, within Germany, will in future adopt a much clearer pricing structure, shorter contract terms and more transparent prices.

The changes have been in effect since 18 June. As a reminder, the merger between RTL and Sky was recently approved by the competition authorities. The Monaco Grand Prix weekend was the first sporting weekend on which RTL and Sky covered major events, as reported by SPEEDWEEK.com.

Back to the changes at Sky: in short, anyone taking out a Sky subscription in future should be able to find their way around more quickly. According to the company, the offering will focus more strongly on a few core packages. At the same time, Sky is phasing out its existing 24-month contracts. Instead, it will offer tariffs with a minimum term of twelve months.

Pricing is also being adjusted. Whilst monthly fees will continue to rise after the first year of the contract, the structure is set to be presented in a way that is more transparent and easier for customers to understand. In future, the focus will be on packages such as: ‘All Fiction’, ‘All Sports’ and ‘Best of Paramount+’. However, customers will still be able to customise their package to suit their individual needs.

In the case of the ‘All Sports’ package, this means that customers who opt for the sports plan in future will have access to Sky’s entire range of live sports. The price for this is 34.99 euros per month in the first year of the contract. After that, the price rises to €39.99 per month.
