About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
Sky Sports will be free to all Virgin Media TV customers for one weekend this month.
From 6am on the 24th September through to 6am on the 26th September Sky Sports 1-4, Sky Sports News and Sky Sports HD 1 & 2 (HD versions only available to customers with an HD box) will be free to all TV customers.
The free weekend will include the following LIVE football games:
Man City vs. Everton (Sat 12:45pm)
QPR vs. Aston Villa (Sun 4pm)
Cardiff vs. Leicester (Sun 1:15pm)
Dunfermline vs. Rangers (Sat 12:45pm)
Plus three La Liga games (fixtures TBA)
AFAIK the free weekend is available on Virgin Media only (not Sky).
I've posted this in the deals section as you obviously need to have Virgin in the first place to qualify. Which equates to a "spend".

sorted bySo your "deal" is wanting people to spend about £150 minimum for the privilige of having a weekend of free sky sports?
It doesn't require a spend. IT'S FREE to existing customers. Nobody will subscribe to virgin TV because they are getting that free for a weekend.
If we word this deal "subscribe to Virgin TV for a year and get sky sports free for a weekend" it's a pretty **** deal.
Good freebie for people who have virgin TV, crap for anyone without it.
All the sky customer screenings seem to be allowed as free.....
Cheers OP will put the date in my diary
That deal is a bit misleading.The correct deal is what the op has posted.
Well found OP.
One of the perks of living with mummsy wummsy.
True. They always seem to have these free weekends when the **** games are on.
Well it's better than the competitions that are listed daily just can get my head round that.
Where is the offer for the loyal long standing sky customers?
It's not a freebie it's a deal. You have to make a spend (ie. have to already have a Virgin Media subscription on a lower package) to get it!
Great deal then! Let's all tie ourselves into a 12 month contract for a weekend of free sky sports! It's a freebie offer for existing customers.
Whatever way you may want to look at it it still requires a SPEND. Which the last time I checked the forum rules qualifies postings of it's nature as a DEAL.
As for your daft comment about them "always doing free weekends when **** matches are on". What exactly do you expect to see? The "big 4" all playing each other or something?
If I remember correctly when Sky or ESPN have offered free Sports weekends to their customers in the past they've done it when there's been no Premier League matches on whatsoever.
The fact that Virgin are offering not one but two free live Premier League games, amongst other matches, featuring the likes of David Silva and the rest of Manchester City's world class stars seems pretty generous to me.

I've never suggested anybody should take out a subscription just to get a free weekend of Sky Sports. That would ludicrous. However when deals like this have come along in the past they've been posted / moved to the deals section because technically it does require a spend. That's all I'm saying.
Nice one! I bet it doesn't come in handy when it comes to picking up the ladies though! X)
Apart from the football, any details on any other sports being shown on the weekend?
Would be amazing if we also got to watch the NFL that weekend!!
You don't have to do anything; the channels will just become available for that weekend...like magic!
Also only 1 Premier League game on Sunday (QPR v Villa) which is not great
Definitely a good freebie though as I am on the £5.50 basic HD package!

Thats this weekend and the offer is for next week.
Which deal is misleading? They both state sept 24th - 26th. This one is a dupe
EDIT
Now the threads have been merged, it makes my message incorrect
This thread is the original, not a dupe

Free sky sports channels from 6am on Saturday September 24 to 6am on Monday 26.
Not sure if it's a deal or that but hopefully some can enjoy
