BT to start charging BT TV customers for BT Sport

BT Sport will soon no longer be free for BT TV customers. From 1st August the service will cost £3.50 a month, or £42 for an annual subscription.

If you have BT broadband and watch BT Sport through a Sky box, you'll pay an extra £1.50 a month (taking the price to £7.50). Have Sky and watch BT Sport but use another broadband provider? You'll pay extra £1 a month, taking your bill to £22.99.

The price of the standard BT TV subscription will remain unchanged. Line rental will also stay at £18.99 a month.
