It's Sky Sports that you really need though if you want to stream the likes of Celtic and Rangers on a weekly basis. The broadcaster shows a number of Scottish football matches each week, from the very early stages of the season to the second phase when it comes down to the business end.
There are a number of Sky Sports packages available, so you can watch the Scottish Professional Football League Premiership, all suiting a variety of budgets. These are detailed below...
Sky TV, Netflix & Sports
Sky TV, Netflix & Sports is becoming a popular Sky TV package at present, priced at £46 per month. This is because it's a rolling contract with no installation or sign-up fees. Unlike other Sky packages, it doesn't use a satellite dish, but is rather connected to your Wi-Fi, allowing you to set-up the package and start streaming Sky Sports in no time at all.
Of course, if you are to go for this package, which also includes a Netflix subscription, you are going to need a solid Wi-Fi connection. The last thing you want is it to start buffering in the last few minutes of the Old Firm!
Complete Sky Sports
A good option for those already with Sky TV, you can get Sky Sports added to your package for an additional £24 per month. The most basic Sky TV subscription begins at around the £23 per month mark, so you'd be looking at a similar cost to the Sky TV, Netflix & Sports package, but on a minimum 18-month term. This gives you all the Sky Sports channels, including the eight dedicated sports channels.
There are other options available too. You are able to add just one Sky Sports channel to your Sky TV package for £18 per month. In this case you'd want Sky Sports Football, to stream SPFL games.
Sky Glass & Sky Sports
Sky Glass is the new all-singing, all-dancing offering from Sky TV, which provides you with a television and built in Sky. Naturally, it comes in at a higher price, beginning at £35 per month for your television and Sky Sports, but rising significantly after three months.
Of course, price points are dependent on the size of the television you want, so it is worth exploring your options fully here.
NOW TV
Now TV is Sky TV's streaming platform that allows you to get the likes of movies or sports on a monthly subscription fee. It's available on many smart TVs these days, alongside being able to purchase via a HDMI plug-in too. You can also download Now TV as an app or watch Scottish Premiership on it through your laptop or desktop device.
To get Sky Sports through Now TV, it's £33.99 per month, giving you access to all their channels with no fixed contract. Similarly to the Netflix package, it is reliant on your Wi-Fi connection, so ensure you have a broadband package capable of good quality streaming.
Sky Sports 24 Hour Passes
If there are only a handful of games you're interested in each season, such as the Edinburgh or Glasgow derbies, then you might just want to consider a 24 hour pass. These are available through Now TV or your Sky TV subscription, priced at £11.98 per day.
Ideal for watching a big Rangers or Celtic game, you can do this as few or as many times as you wish, but of course if you are using it regularly, it can work out more cost-effective to just purchase a package.
