10 Sky Sports channels are FREE to ALL users on Christmas Day and Boxing Day
Doesn't matter how you access these - as a Sky user but normally DO NOT subscribe ..
OR like ME :j
by having Virgin TV on cable.
Instead of being "greyed out" there's a good selection of channels to click on.
AS a DERBY COUNTY fan I've just discovered that the play-off final of 2006/07 where we played West Bromwich Albion at Wembley is on in a little under 3 hours time - so I'm recording it (00:30 on 26/12)
Never saw the TV coverage because I was there.
Looking online a Sky page seems to suggest there will be coverage of ...
the 1st day of the Test Cricket from South Africa,
3 (THREE) Boxing Day EFL games
BRENTFORD v SWANSEA
LEEDS V PRESTON
READING v QPR
An SPL game
HEARTS v HIBERNIAN
There appears to be quit a few reruns of many 2019 F1 Grand Prix
and "an extra bonus" outside of these channels & days
A Premier League match, Norwich vs Tottenham on 28 December at 5.30pm on SKY ONE
and some of the Darts World Championships
