What is Sky Go?

Sky Go lets Sky TV subscribers in the UK and Ireland stream their channels, Sky Sports, Sky Cinema and box sets on phones, tablets and laptops. It is tied to a home Sky account.

Why is Sky Go geo-blocked?

Sky Go is licensed for the UK and Ireland. Travel outside and, aside from limited EU roaming rules, it blocks your IP and stops your channels from playing.

Which ROOT server unblocks Sky Go?

Connect to a ROOT UK server so Sky Go sees a British IP, then sign in with your Sky account and stream your usual channels from abroad. You can browse every option on the the UK VPN page or the full list of ROOT locations.

Sky Go unblocking questions

Can I use Sky Go abroad with ROOT?
Yes. Connect to a ROOT UK server so Sky Go sees a British IP. You need a valid Sky subscription and the right to watch the channels.
Why does Sky Go stop working overseas?
Sky's channel rights are UK and Ireland based. A ROOT UK exit gives you a British IP so your Sky account streams as if you were home.
Will Sky Sports work for live matches?
Yes, with a Sky Sports subscription. Pick a UK exit and keep the connection stable for smooth live HD.
Which UK server should I choose?
London is usually fastest for Sky Go. Manchester is a good backup if London is busy.
Is using a VPN for streaming legal?
Using a VPN is legal in most countries and ROOT is a legitimate privacy tool. ROOT changes where your connection appears to be, not what you are allowed to watch. Only stream content you have the right to access, with a valid subscription or entitlement where one is required.
