We just don't know but if they had, I would expect an announcement to that effect and suspect Sky would make it conditional on VM passing it on to their customers.

I would imagine if virgin got the discount or pause option from sky they would let customers know about it. They wouldn't be allowed to keep it to themselves I shouldn't imagine.

VIP/Ultimate Oomp @ £79 is one of those I believe.
The bundle promo discount on the entire bundle is bigger than the cost of Sky Sports so they are saying you cannot get a discount on it.
BT Sports aren't doing anything so far.
Sky are removing the Sports portion of a bundle if you ask to Pause Sports.
AFAIK Virgin Retention will remove Sky Sports cost for 3 months too if you ask for it and are paying the normal Sky Sports add-on cost to a lower bundle.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Sky are pausing the subscription for their Sports customers - they are not removing the channels.

Presumably, you also have discounts which would be removed?

What if your bundle includes SS as standard?

Good point - do any of the bundles include this as standard - I seem to recall taking the top bundle when I joined VM and having to add Sky Sports as an extra although BT Sports was included foc

I have the £99 top package, which includes Sky Sports, BT Sport and Sky Cinema in the package. I am not expecting any discount on Sky Sports or BT Sport for that matter.

Sky and BT will 'lose £1bn if sporting events stay shut until August'

“The hypothesis informing governments assumes an initial three-month long lockdown,” said Enders Analysis, which published the report. “Group activities of 25 people involving close physical contact without protection will not plausibly be the first to be allowed when when some social life resumes.”
