Sky Go
Sky Go is the official streaming app for Sky TV customers in the UK, Germany and Italy. It provides access to live television, on-demand shows, movies, sports events and Sky Originals from Sky's channel lineup. The app is designed for Sky TV subscribers to watch content across multiple devices, with features including catch-up TV (available for up to 30 days after broadcast), multi-device registration (up to 6 devices with 2 simultaneous streams), and an optional Sky Go Extra tier that enables offline downloads. It is commonly used by sports fans for live Premier League and Formula 1 coverage, and by households sharing a single Sky subscription across multiple devices.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionSky Go for macOS remains an Intel-only build and has not been updated to run natively on Apple Silicon, despite multiple community requests dating back to 2023. The app currently runs under Rosetta 2 emulation on M-series Macs, with many users reporting installation failures, buffering issues and streaming problems. Apple is removing Rosetta 2 support in macOS 28, scheduled for September 2028, meaning this app will stop launching entirely on that release unless Sky releases a native build before then. With less than 28 months remaining, you should contact Sky directly to ask about a native Apple Silicon version in their product roadmap. In the interim, if you need to watch Sky Go on your Mac, the alternative is to use the web-based Sky Go at sky.com in a browser, though this offers a more limited experience than the desktop app. If Sky does not ship a native build before the September 2028 deadline, the Mac version will become unusable on current macOS releases.
