Package prices have been slashed ahead of football's return, as rival companies look to outdo their competition and secure long-term subscribers beyond the current campaign.

Sky have knocked £10 off their Sky TV and Sky Sports package, bringing it down to £39-per-month. As well as Championship action, they've got the bulk of the remaining Premier League games - 62 of them in total.

It is important to note that this deal requires the purchaser to commit to an 18-month contract, which includes a one-off £20 set-up charge.

Alternatively, NOW TV have reduced their Sky Sports monthly pass from £39.99 down to £33.99 - this will last for three months, taking viewers up until the end of the season, in what looks to be a more flexible option.

BT Sport have slashed the cost of their 'Big sport' package from £40 down to £20. This includes all their sports channels, along with the Sky Sports suite via a Now TV pass. This package lasts 24 months, but it's flexible, so it can be turned off at the end of the season, and restart again at the start of the next.
