As summer comes to an end, TV deals are soaring in popularity, mainly as fans tune into the new Premier League season, the US Open, or the new Walking Dead spin-off in the UK. And now you can watch without paying a single penny.
Sky's newest deal is giving new customers free access to 100 Sky TV channels, the Sky Stream box and Netflix... all for £0. It's incredibly rare that this deal comes around, as the providers gives viewers the chance to watch before they pay.
As part of its free trial, new viewers will get the more than 200 TV channels, the nifty Sky Stream box, and a standard Netflix account to use for free for 30 days. And even after this huge freebie deal, you won't be locked in to paying hundreds, and you can sign up here.

Unlike other plans at the provider, anyone who picks this £0 free trial deal will pay £31 after the first month, but there's no tie. This is on a rolling contract, so you can leave exit-fee free after each 31 days.
This deal is perfect for film lovers and streamers who want to relax with Netflix's latest shows while also upgrading their TV sets. And the Sky Stream device can help you do just that.
The nifty plug-in device is compatible with any smart TV, as long as it has an HDMI port and gives it features like voice recognition, app navigation, and satellite-free streaming - all you need is a reliable wi-fi.... and it doesn't have to be via Sky.
However, Sky does have a few downsides, and our team would advise keen shoppers to be aware of them before they buy. As we recently highlighted in a Sky Sports deal: "There are however a few things eager shoppers will want to consider.
"Sky also states in the T&C's of its plans that "prices may change during this period" which is to reflect rise with inflation costs. If shoppers fancy taking a look at Virgin Media one thing it offers that Sky doesn't is bundling in SIM offers so you can pair it with your chosen TV or broadband plan."
At £0 for the first month Sky's newest free TV deal will certainly catch shoppers' attention, but it's worth noting that, firstly, this plan will be quite costly at £31 after the trial ends, and it doesn't include any sports packages.
Sports fans may also want to look at NOWTV for rival packages too, as Henry Burrell, the deputy tech editor for our sister site The Express told us when chatting about the many Premier League-inspired deals.
He said: "I prefer it because I only want Sky Sports, I don't want any of the other Sky channels, and this is the cheapest way for me to get access to them without committing to a long-term contract."
