In case you missed it, UK premium satellite TV provider Sky announced late last year that it would finally be bringing the Sky Go app to Apple TV devices, allowing Sky TV subscribers access to live and on-demand Sky TV through their Apple TV set-top box for the first time after adding Apple TV+ to Sky Glass and Sky Q products in December.
Last year, Sky said the Sky Go app for Apple TV would be launching “in the first half of 2022,” with the app giving Sky TV subscribers the ability to watch content around their homes in rooms that don’t have a hardwired Sky or a Wi-Fi Sky Q box, but have an Apple TV set-top box.
Sky Go as it stands is available on the web and through the Sky Go app for iPhone and iPad, giving users the option to watch live TV, access recorded shows on their Sky Q box, and watch catch up content from Sky channels or other broadcasters such as the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, TLC, and Comedy Central to name a few.

Sky is yet to provide any details on the capabilities of the new Sky Go app for Apple TV, but presumably, functionality will be similar to the existing apps available for PlayStation and Xbox that require users to have a Sky account with Sky Go Extra to watch TV shows and films.
The exact release date for the new Sky Go app for Apple TV is unknown, however, a release “in the first half of 2022” would mean the app is slated for launch before July.
