Everyone wants great TV without overpaying. The cheapest TV subscription in the UK is not always the one with the lowest headline price — it is the one that gives you the most for your money. Here is the honest breakdown for 2026.
Cheapest TV Subscriptions Compared
Here are the real monthly costs for the most popular UK TV options, from cheapest to most expensive:
- TVfast 1-year plan: £4.91/month — 20,000+ channels, all sport, 4K, no contract
- Netflix with ads: £5/month — films and series only, no live TV
- Amazon Prime Video: ~£7.92/month — limited live sport
- Disney+: £5–£12/month — no live UK channels
- Freeview: Free — limited channels, no Sky Sports
- Sky TV (base): £30–£35/month — then add-ons for sport and cinema
What "Cheap" Actually Means
Freeview is free but gives you around 100 channels with no premium sport. Netflix and Disney+ are cheap but offer no live TV. Only TVfast gives you everything — all UK channels, Sky Sports, films and series in 4K — at a genuinely low price, with no contract.
💰 Best value verdict: For live TV with all the sport, TVfast at £4.91/month is by far the cheapest option. No competitor comes close to matching the channel count at this price.
