Viewers on Sky's cheapest £15 package, Sky Essential TV, will benefit from the boost to Sky Ultimate TV.
However, the channels will only be available from today until Monday.
It's designed to give people a taster of the shows to watch elsewhere.
They include Sky Max, Sky Crime, Sky Documentaries, U&Gold, and Comedy Central.
Highlights at the moment range from Matlock and The Rookie on Sky Witness, Hacks and Rob Beckett's Smart TV on Sky Max, Boyzone No Matter What on Sky Documentaries, Planet Weird on Sky Nature and The Righteous Gemstones on Sky Comedy.
Customers don't have to take any action to gain access to the channels.
They will all be unlocked for the duration of the giveaway.
Sky Essential TV was launched at the end of last year as a cheaper way for telly fans to watch Sky TV, with Sky Atlantic, Netflix and Discovery+ all included.
Sky Ultimate TV costs £7 more (a total of £21).
It comes as Sky just launched a brand new TV product in the UK, Sky Glass Air.
Discover new features on Sky TV that make it even easier to find favourite shows
The device builds on the company's existing streamed TV offering, which does away with a satellite dish on the side of your house.
Instead, channels are all transmitted via a broadband connection.
Sky Glass Air is a cheaper option with no built-in soundbar unlike the main Sky Glass model, making it much thinner.
The Sky Essential TV package is only available to those with Sky Stream and Sky Glass.

Sky offers you 35 extra channels for free this weekend, here's how to claim them
Sky is back with a limited-time incentive that's offering over 35 premium channels for free. It's not every day you get something for free, but that's exactly what Sky has decided to offer over this weekend. Customers can bag themselves over 35 premium channels without having to reach for their credit cards. This blockbuster update has been launched as part of Sky's Ultimate TV Weekender, and those who subscribe won't want to miss out. So, who gets the free channels and how do you claim them? Sky says there's no action required with the bonus getting unlocked unti Monday, June 9. It's available to those who currently subscribe to Sky's Essential TV pack, with the upgrade offering full and instant access to Sky Ultimate TV bundle instead. For those not in the know, the change adds extra channels such as Sky Max, Sky Crime, Sky Documentaries, U&Gold, and Comedy Central to TVs. Shows that can be found on these platforms include Matlock and The Rookie, Hacks, Rob Beckett's Smart TV, Boyzone No Matter What, Planet Weird and The Righteous Gemstone. Explaining more, Sky said, in an email sent to Mirror Online: "From 6 – 9 June, Sky Essential TV customers can access Sky Ultimate TV at no extra cost. "There's no action required, all Sky Essential TV customers will have access to Sky Ultimate TV and 35,000 shows over the rainy weekend." Now you might be wondering what Sky gets out of giving away free channels. Well, we are guessing it hopes that the little taster will get Sky Essential TV users upgrading to Sky Ultimate TV for good. If you do tune in and fancy switching things up it will cost you an extra £7 per month. It's certainly been a very busy week for Sky. Along with announcing this free content boost, the company has also revealed when its all-new Sky Glass Air telly is going on sale. This screen will arrives in homes next week, and offer live and on-demand telly via your broadband so there's no need for a dish. It also comes packed with all the most popular streaming apps, features a 4K display and Dolby Audio for better sound. There are three sizes to choose from (43', 55', and 65') plus three colours (Sea Green, Carbon Grey, and Cotton White) to suit your room. It's not quite as impressive as the Sky Glass Gen 2 TV, but it's worth a look if you're on a budget.
