Sky Sports Main Event

Sky Sports Main Event is a flagship sports TV channel from Sky Sports that focuses on showing the biggest live sports events of the day from across Sky’s entire sports portfolio. It’s designed so you don’t have to switch between individual sport-specific channels — instead the key matches or major live events are broadcast on one main channel.
📺 What Sky Sports Main Event Shows
Sky Sports Main Event typically broadcasts:
Premier League football and top EFL matches
Major cricket tests and ODI/T20 internationals
Formula 1 and other big motorsport events
World Darts Championship and other marquee darts coverage
Rugby union internationals and major tournaments
High-profile golf, such as majors and big tours
Other noteworthy live action depending on the day’s schedule
Because it picks the top live events across multiple sports, it’s perfect for casual sports fans who want the biggest action without checking the channel guide for every sport.
📆 How It Works
One main destination for top live sport: When a big event is happening — like a big Premier League match, F1 race, or a major darts tie — it will often be shown live here.
Live schedule varies by day: What’s shown depends on what major events are happening at that time; the channel switches to the appropriate sport.
📺 Channel Info
Channel number: Often Sky Sports Main Event appears on channel 401 (HD) on Sky’s UK platform (HD and UHD versions may vary by provider).
In short, Sky Sports Main Event brings you the top live matches and competitions across football, cricket, F1, darts and more — all on one channel without needing to know which specialized channel is showing which sport.
