You could continue watching West Brom play offs if you like-
I can’t find anything to watch. There was a Gordon Banks interview on catch up which was interesting but other than that-
Just google, pause sky sports and you’re taken to a link online where you can pause your sky sports payments so you don’t need to ring up.

Cancelled my subscription 6 weeks ago due to the extortionate monthly cost. Couldn't have timed it better  |

Last week there was a 2017/18 premier league review on sky sports. Pretty depressing reminder, Mark Hughes out. It all went wrong from there. Great tv |

They should be doing this as as given, without an application, for every customer, if they have any Customer Service standards.

Cheers for the info, just done it,took 2 mins but really this should be automatically done by Sky. |

Great tv No it means the channels will still be available but you can’t watch them. They will automatically become active again when they resume broadcasting live sport. If you’re struggling to pause it on line phone them up. I did it yesterday. Only on hold for a couple of mins. They couldn’t pause it but just cancelled the sports package with no early cancellation fee. Only difference is I will have to physically reapply the package when I want it rather than Sky rebooting it automatically. Saved me £34 pm anyway 👍 |

The youth told me you couldn't but I assume anyone who has paused it could tell us. |

I tried the website but it left me with a spinning circle and an error message - www.sky.com/shop/tv/sports/pauseCalling was really easy though and will save me about £30 a month. Just ring 0800 151 2747 and say 'cancel Sky Sports' to the IVR. The automated message will ask you for your postcode and then confirm if you want to suspend the subscription. You can still watch the channels in the meantime (just without any live sport) and payments will automatically start again when things get back to normal. |

Paused it online this morning - and still able to watch.
So seems like an absolute no-brainer.
Why they're making people jump through the technicality of a 90-second online process or ring them for something they should be doing automatically is the strange part.
Absolutely nowt worth watching on Sky Sports at the moment - and you suspect it'll be months and months until that changes

After the pause, they'll probably start you at a new subscription rate, which will remove any discounts. For instance, I paused mine 3 days ago with a present subscription that gave me Sky sports at half price for 18 months. I may find that it will cost me more if/when I reactivate it. I'll cancel it if it does, & go to my 'other option'.

I've done that several times and got loads of discounted deals from them. Plus they'll be desperate to retain customers after all this. |

Virgin aren’t offering this as yet I rang Virgin last week to cancel, they said I could keep the channels, but not pay for them for the next 3 months. If things are the same in 3 months, I assume I'll be having the same chat. |
