How to play Sky Go on Fire TV Stick

by Flo

Sky Go is not officially available for Amazon Fire TV Stick, as there is currently no dedicated app for the device. Workarounds include the streaming service WOW, screen mirroring, or an HDMI connection.

How to get Sky Go and WOW on Fire TV Stick

Even without the official Sky Go app on the Fire TV Stick, there are still ways to stream Sky content on your TV. Here are two of the most popular options:

  • Using WOW on the Fire TV Stick: There is still no official Sky Go app for the Fire TV Stick (as of May 2025). However, if you have an active WOW subscription, you can conveniently stream content via the corresponding app:

  • To do this, open the search function on the Fire TV Stick. Enter “WOW” and install the app. Then log in with your access data.

  • Prices for WOW: Depending on the package, the service costs between approximately $7 and $25 per month (as of 05/2025). It offers access to most Sky content, including series, movies, and live sports.

  • Stream Sky Go via screen mirroring: Sky Go can be transferred to the Fire TV Stick via screen mirroring, for example from a smartphone or tablet:

  • Select the desired content in the Sky Go app on your mobile device. To start streaming, tap the screen icon (casting icon). The connection can be made via Miracast (Android) or Apple AirPlay (iOS/macOS), provided your Fire TV Stick or an additional device such as Apple TV supports this.

  • Please note: Depending on the quality of your Wi-Fi connection, this method may cause connection problems or image interference.

HDMI cable – the most stable solution

The most reliable and highest quality way to watch Sky Go content on your TV is to connect via HDMI cable:

  • To do this, connect your laptop to the TV via HDMI.

  • Select the appropriate HDMI source on the TV.

  • Start playback in the Sky Go app on your laptop – the image will be mirrored on your TV.

  • This option usually offers the best stability and image quality, as it works independently of your Wi-Fi connection.

Important information about use

Before you decide on one of the methods mentioned, you should note a few points to avoid potential problems or legal risks.

  • Avoid using unofficial third-party apps or workarounds that use modified APK files, for example. These methods may violate Sky’s terms of use and may pose security risks.

  • Sky regularly takes action against such applications, so these solutions often only work for a short time.
