Millions of Sky Sports viewers are also being urged to check their TV guides after a major reshuffle hit the channel line-up this week..

The shake-up hit customers across the UK and Ireland from July 28, with rebrands, renames and major channel moves across Sky’s satellite, Glass and Stream services.

This week Sky confirmed that Sky Sports The Lions (Satellite 408/865 – Sky Glass/Stream 408) was reverting to its original name, Sky Sports Action/Sky Sports Action HD, after a temporary rebrand.

Sky 2025 Recap (Satellite 302 – Sky Glass/Stream 302) was also temporarily renamed Favourites HD.

Meanwhile, a wide reshuffle of the Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) resulted in many popular channels moving to new positions.

In the UK on satellite, Sky Sports+ HD moved from 412 to 404.

The broadcaster routinely makes changes to its channel line-up, particularly to reflect seasonal sports coverage or temporary promotions.
