Free Sky Sports channels added to millions of TVs TODAY – essential codes to unlock them revealed
Viewers have gained a total of six new channels totally free in the latest boost for Sky Glass and Sky Stream.
Although Sky Q customers won't find them on their TV guide, they can access the channels another way instead.
The broadcaster has decided to add a series of so-called FAST (Free Ad Supported TV) channels to the main selection screen.
However, you can get to them even quicker by using your voice or keying into the channel number on your remote.
Among them is Sky Sports Classics, home to Sky Sports Premier League archives with the likes of Premier League Icons and Premier League Legends.
The full list of six channels are:
Sky Sports Classics
Sky Sports Vault
Sky Sports Stories
Pick Monkey Rescue
Emergency 24/7
Sky Artist of The Year
Elsewhere, Sky Sports Vault revisits a whole host of archive darts, EFL and boxing content including 30 Years of The PDC World Darts Championship and Fight Night.
And Sky Sports Stories is the place for sporting documentaries, from EFL Rivalries to Her Huddle.
If you recognise the channels you're not mistaken.
They were first made available a year ago via the little-known Xumo Play app, where you can find about 70 free extra channels.

Today's changes put Sky 's own six channels from the Xumo app directly onto the TV guide like any other channel.
The free Sky Sports channels can be found on 1001, 1002 and 1003 respectively.
Pick Monkey Rescue, on number 1004, shows episodes from the Monkey Life series.
And on 1005 it's Emergency 24/7 with programmes such as Highway Cops, Air Ambulance ER and Stop Search Seize.
Finally, Sky Artist of The Year, on number 1006, allows viewers to catch up on Sky's Portrait Artist of the Year and Landscape Artist of the Year.
Rival Virgin Media has been dabbling in a similar move with FAST channels.
So, although Sky Q customers won't find them directly on their TV guide they can still watch them via the Xumo app.

Katie Price slapped with new legal row as exes Kieran Hayler and Alex Reid team up
EXCLUSIVE: Former glamour model Katie Price has found herself at the centre of another legal row as her ex-husbands unite to block a new tell-all documentary from airing Katie Price is at the centre of a new legal row with her ex-husbands over a planned tell-all documentary. The show, due to air next year, is set to spill the beans on her relationships, according to TV insiders. Kieran Hayler, 38, and Alex Reid, 50, are consulting lawyers to try to block the film from featuring them. The pair are in contact via an intermediary as both are said to be aghast at the prospect of Katie talking. A source said: 'They feel like they have been backed into a corner and have no choice. They just want her to stop trashing them, and can't believe she is being given a platform.' It comes after Katie was left unable to complete basic functions after latest facial surgeries. Lawyers for Katie's first husband, Peter Andre, were already on 'red alert' even before news of the planned documentary surfaced last week. It comes as Peter, 52, released a statement blasting his ex-wife's 'lies'. Asked about the show, an insider close to the Australian singer said: 'His lawyers will be keeping a close eye on all things moving forward in terms of what Kate says or does.' The three-part series is reportedly being made by Louis Theroux's production company Mindhouse and put out by Sky. A strongly worded legal letter is being prepared on behalf of Kieran and Alex, urging the broadcaster to reconsider airing it. A spokesman for Kieran said: 'We are keeping all our options open. I can confirm Alex Reid is on the same page.' A TV insider claimed this week that the autobiographical show would 'likely spill the beans on [Katie's] many flings and love affairs' and would be the 'most authentic version of her story'. But a source close to Kieran said: 'Enough is enough. They want to move on with their lives, and they can't trust anything that comes out her mouth.' Katie and Kieran were married from 2013 to 2021. They had two kids, Jett, now 12, and Bunny, 11. Former cage fighter Alex wed the ex-glamour model in Las Vegas in February 2010. They separated in January 2011. Alex sued his ex for breach of confidence, misuse of private information and breach of contract after she disclosed to pals videos and photos of him performing a sex act. High Court judge Mr Justice Warby branded Katie's behaviour 'persistent, flagrant, arrogant, high-handed and inexcusable'. She was told to pay £25,000 in damages and £150,000 in costs. Reality TV star Alex said it had an impact on his career, adding: 'She was saying the most disgusting things about me... It was affecting me working continually because people were laughing at me.' Katie was married to Peter from 2005 to 2009, and they have Junior, 20, and Princess, 18. She has been in the spotlight recently around the launch of her eldest daughter's ITV show, The Princess Diaries. Her claim last week that Princess lives with her seemed to enrage Peter. Accusing his ex of repeated lies, he said: 'Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until... adulthood. In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement.' He also reminded fans of court cases in 2011 and 2015, saying they showed Katie had made false claims. Yesterday a source said: 'Pete felt he had to do this for the sake of not only him, but his wife [Emily], Princess and Junior. He has received so many messages of support from people who are glad he has called such behaviour out.' In response, mum-of-five Katie – who also has son Harvey, 23, with football coach Dwight Yorke – said: 'I know I will always be seen as a sinner. That's fair. I allowed myself to fall into a reliance on drugs and alcohol. At times I was not the mother I should have been while I struggled with mental illness. 'I have been at times a poor friend, an awful sibling, and an untrustworthy partner. I've self-medicated, been unfaithful, damaged myself and those that I love.' Princess, meanwhile, says Katie and Peter's feud does not trouble her, as she loves them both. When a fan asked if she was affected by her parents not getting on, she replied: 'To be honest it doesn't. At the end of the day, they broke up when I was two years old so I don't even have any memory of them being together.' She added: 'I love my mum and dad and that's all that matters.' Katie has claimed she was banned from Princess's 18th birthday party filmed for her show and that her daughter's management team thought she was trash. A source said Katie was not banned but had missed the party due to being abroad. Sky did not respond to a request for comment.

English cricket star rushed to hospital with horror injury as Hundred match suspended and screen put around him
AN ENGLISH cricket star was rushed to hospital with a horror injury as a Hundred match was suspended. Adam Hose suffered a serious ankle injury while playing for the Trent Rockets in their win over Southern Brave. 4 4 4 4 The batter went down with a dislocation after slipping for a catch, forcing the match to be paused for 10 minutes. A screen was put around Hose as he was treated on the field. And the star was then rushed to hospital for further treatment. Despite Hose's setback, the Rockets rallied to beat Brave by four wickets. But they now face a lengthy period of time without Hose in the side. It can take anywhere between six and 12 weeks to recover from a dislocated ankle. Scans need to determine whether Hose requires surgery, which could rule him out for an even longer period of time. Fans were quick to send their best wishes to Hose. One said: 'I have never seen an injury like that in a cricket game.' Another declared: 'Get well soon Adam.' One noted: 'One of the most horrific injuries I've seen on a cricket field.' Another added: 'This is absolutely mad, hope he recovers.' The Hundred's official account also tweeted: 'We wish Adam Hose a speedy recovery after an injury to his leg in the field.'
