If you’re considering subscribing to Netflix, it’s worth exploring the option of doing so via Sky Glass TV, Sky Stream, or Sky Q. This allows for full interface integration, enabling you to browse both Sky and Netflix content together. Additionally, you can use Sky’s search function to discover new shows and movies to watch.
When you subscribe to Netflix through Sky, your billing for both services will be consolidated, potentially saving you money compared to paying for them separately. Here is a comprehensive guide to help you navigate the process.
Can Netflix be accessed on Sky Glass?
Sky now offers TV services that do not require a satellite dish, such as Sky Glass. Through the Sky Essential TV package, Netflix is available on Sky Glass Gen 2 and the more affordable Sky Glass Air.
The pricing for accessing Netflix on Sky Glass starts at £29 per month, with no discounts for the premium Gen 2 model. This includes fees for the TV hardware and the Essential TV package with Netflix. For the cheaper Sky Glass Air option, you can get the TV with Netflix starting from £21 per month.

How is billing handled for Netflix on Sky?
If you already have a Netflix subscription, you can simply log in with your existing account details on Sky. Sky will then facilitate the billing process, allowing you to pay for Netflix through your Sky bill. This consolidated billing approach can result in cost savings compared to separate subscriptions.
Individual pricing for Netflix subscriptions ranges from £4.99 to £17.99 per month for different plans. By subscribing through Sky, customers can access Standard with Ads at no extra cost, Standard for an additional £6 per month, and Premium for £11 per month on Sky Glass or Stream. Sky Q customers will incur extra charges for the Netflix Standard and Premium plans at £10.50 and £15.50 per month, respectively.
Navigating Netflix on Sky Q, Sky Glass, and Sky Stream
Accessing Netflix on Sky is straightforward – simply open the Netflix app within the Sky interface (located under ‘Apps’ on Sky Glass) and use it as you would on any other device. The integration ensures that Netflix content is seamlessly integrated into the Sky interface, allowing you to discover and access Netflix shows alongside Sky content.
If you’re using Netflix on Sky Glass, ensure that you log into the app directly on your TV rather than on a Stream Puck for secondary devices in your household.

Nevertheless, you can still sign in and utilize an existing Netflix account on your Sky device.
