Sky has announced a new partnership with Team GB and ParalympicsGB, reinforcing its commitment to British sport, and bringing the country together around significant cultural moments, inspiring stories and achievements that matter most.

Sky will play a central role in connecting audiences across the UK to the athletes, celebrating their achievements, challenges and breakthroughs along the road to the world's biggest sporting stage.

Team GB chief commercial officer Tim Ellerton said: "We are incredibly excited to embark on this unique and innovative partnership with Sky.

"Team GB is made up of extraordinary athletes with powerful stories to tell, and having Sky's support will allow us to amplify their journeys and build even deeper connections with fans across the nation.

"As we stand on the eve of Milano Cortina 2026 and look ahead to an era-defining Games in Los Angeles 2028, this collaboration ensures we are championing our athletes every single day to inspire the next generation."

Paralympics GB commercial director Jenny Seymour added: "We can't wait for the partnership to get started and to work with Sky to champion inclusion, challenge perceptions of disability and inspire the next generation of fans and athletes."

"Athletes put in years of work behind the scenes, and it's really special when the fans get to come along for the ride. The road to LA28 was always going to be a big one for me, but I can't wait to see how this partnership takes that excitement to the next level."

Tokyo Paralympics gold medallist Lauren Steadman said: "I'm really excited about this partnership between ParalympicsGB and Sky as we look towards LA 2028.

"Our work together is more than medals, it's about changing perceptions, championing inclusivity and showing what can be achieved when opportunity and ambition come together."
