Can’t find anything new to watch? If you’re struggling to find your next boxset binge-watch or movie night, Sky might be able to help.

For a limited time, Sky VIP customers can claim 6 months of Paramount+ and 6 months of Apple TV+ for free. Cancel anytime and you’ll pay nothing for these streamers ―a saving of £95.88 compared to subscribing to both services for half a year.


Both popular streamers are available to watch on Sky Q, Sky Stream, and Sky Glass. The apps are preinstalled on your box, so all you’ll need to do is login.

The giveaway ends at 11.59pm on Sunday December 31, 2023. So you’ll need to claim the freebie before the clock strikes midnight and the fireworks start ―or miss out on the savings.

To redeem the free subscriptions, you’ll need to load up the MySky app on your iPhone or Android device and sign in. Next, click on the Sky VIP tab at the bottom of the screen and tap on Giveaways.

You should find free subscription offers for Paramount+ and Apple TV+ waiting for you. You’ll be asked to provide an email address so that Sky can send over a link to activate your free trial.

Best of all, it's possible to activate both trials simultaneously ― adding thousands of exclusive series, classic shows, documentaries, and blockbuster movies to your Sky box overnight. You definitely won't need to worry about not having anything new to watch when you redeem this offer.

Apple TV+ has a packed library of shows and films that you won’t be able to watch anywhere else. The iPhone company has poured money into original content, commissioning big-budget shows like Severance, Ted Lasso, Slow Horses, Lessons In Chemistry,and Foundation, to name a few.

Films like the Academy Award-winning CODA, documentary Billie Eilish: The World’s A Little Blurry, and epic Napoleon ―currently playing in cinemas ― are exclusive to the streamer too. If you want to continue watching after the free trial, you’ll need to pay £8.99 per month.

Paramount+ is a streamer dedicated to shows and movies from Paramount Studios and its other properties. It’s the only place to watch hit western shows 1923 and Yellowstone as well as the revival of Frasier.

The service will also be home to 14 South Park films, following a deal struck with the creators in 2021. A number of these extra-long episodes, including Joining the Panderverse which released in October, are already available to stream.

The Mission Impossible film franchise, Top Gun: Maverick, Scream 5 and Scream 6, Transformers and Star Trek movies are also included with the streamer, which usually costs £6.99 per month.

The latest giveaways are only available to Sky TV viewers who haven’t previously redeemed a free subscription to either of these streamers.

For those who don’t know, Sky VIP is a loyalty scheme designed to reward subscribers with free tickets to events like the British Masters and the Premier League, as well as exclusive preview screenings of the latest blockbuster movies.

Sky has also opened VIP Lounges at a number of venues across the UK, allowing gig-goers to have a quiet drink before the concert in these exclusive suites.

The longer you’ve been with Sky, the more rewards you’ll unlock. The current Sky VIP tiers are as follows:

  • Silver | 0 – 3 years
  • Gold | 3 – 8 years
  • Platinum | 8 – 15 years
  • Diamond | 15+ years

The amount of time spent with Sky can be based on how long you’ve continuously held a Sky TV, Sky Mobile, Sky Talk, and/or Sky Broadband contract. Rewards are cumulative so, if you’re a Diamond Sky VIP, you’ll still be able to take advantage of all the benefits of Silver, Gold, and Platinum.

New customers can instantly join as a Sky VIP Silver member and claim a free movie rental from the Sky Store as a welcome gift. If you’re quick, you’ll also be able to nab the free subscriptions to Paramount+ and Apple TV+ too.
