As a Newcastle United fan, fretting whether my team will make it to the Champions League isn’t something I am burdened with on a regular basis. If it was, I might be tempted to pay for BT Sport.
If that was the case, however, I’d be among the 10 million people who, from April 2, will have to shell out more to watch their football teams chase European glory.
For people who have BT broadband but watch BT Sport through a Sky box, they will be landed with a rise of £1.50 per month to £7.50 on April 2. And non-BT broadband customers who watch BT Sport with a Sky box will see prices increase by £1 to £22.99 per month on the same date. In the past, BT TV customers have previously not had to pay anything extra to access BT Sport but from 1 August the yearly subscription will be £42.
