Sky Sports on Amazon Fire Stick?

Yo,
I understand that an Amazon Fire Stick is a purchase that is a one-off payment. Not a subscription. I have read that a user would then have to use a NOWTV membership to stream Sky Sports.
Is this free?
Am I honestly looking at just a one-off payment and then I can enjoy Sky Sports forever?

Perfectly possible to buy a Firestick that will give you free access to all sorts of (normally) subscription-only stuff.
It is, of course, illegal.

I would be loathe to do without Sky Sports.I can see a 6 month offer at £26.99 a month for Sky Sports on the Now website. After that it's full price but you may be offered a retention deal when you go to cancel after six months. Which may be less than £34.99."6-Month Saver Membership £26 a month. 6-month minimum term. Then £34.99pm unless cancelled.
After the 6-month minimum term Sports Membership auto-renews at £34.99 a month, unless cancelled. Cancel anytime effective at the end of the minimum term. Boost or Ultra Boost do not remove ads from live sports and channels. Not available to third party billed customers, e.g. Vodafone, Apple, EE etc."

That £26/mth does not include Boost, which is what NOW TV needs you to add in order to get HD telly.
£6/mth (offers may be available).
There's also a UHD version called (natch) Ultra Boost, £9/mth, but I've no idea how much NOW Sport (or anything else) is broadcast (or rather streamed) in UHD.0 -
Nowhere did the OP mention about requiring HD. They just wanted Sky Sports, so the £26.99 mentioned does what it says on the tin.There are only four UHD channels on Now - "With Ultra Boost, you can also enjoy 4 live UHD sports channels (Sky Sports Main Event & Sky Sports F1, plus 2 ad-hoc channels, Sky Sports UHD 1 & 2) and selected shows and movies in UHD HDR (on supported devices)". But of course you need suitable hardware and a 4k Firestick in the first place.0
