SKY DIGITAL is a bank statement transaction code that may relate to Sky, which is listed in the Subscription category. Sky offers TV packages, broadband, mobile and streaming through Sky Glass, Sky Stream and NOW. A recurring charge is normally your monthly subscription, which can vary with add-ons like Sky Sports, Cinema or Netflix bundled into your package. Statements usually show SKY DIGITAL or SKY UK, billed monthly. This descriptor appears because banks display a shortened payment code instead of the full company name.

If this is a recurring payment you no longer want, log in to your Sky account and cancel it in your account settings before the next billing date. If you recognise the merchant but have a question about the charge, contact Sky directly using the details on this page. If you do not recognise this entry, contact your bank or card issuer and ask them to confirm the transaction and merchant details. Only you and your bank can confirm whether a payment was authorised.
SKY DIGITAL (often followed by a reference number, or shown as SKY DIGITAL SP) is the long-standing billing name Sky uses for subscription payments — it dates back to the "Sky Digital" satellite service launched in 1998, and Sky has kept the descriptor ever since. It does not mean you have some separate "digital" product: it is simply how a Sky bill appears on many bank statements, usually as a monthly Direct Debit.
A Sky bill can bundle several things into one amount: your TV package (Sky Q, Sky Glass, or Sky Stream), add-ons like Sky Sports, Sky Cinema, or Netflix included in a Sky bundle, plus broadband, home phone, or Sky Mobile if you take those from Sky too. Because everything is combined, the single figure on your statement can be much larger than any one service you remember signing up for.
Sky bills commonly move around. An introductory 18-month offer ending can raise the price sharply; Sky's annual price increases (usually announced for April) nudge it up; one-off extras like Sky Box Office events, store rentals, or out-of-allowance calls are added to the following month's bill. If this month's SKY DIGITAL amount is different from last month's, compare the two bills in your Sky account — the line-by-line breakdown will show exactly what changed.
Sign in at sky.com or the My Sky app and open Bills & payments. Every bill is itemised with the billing period, package, add-ons, and any one-off charges, and it shows the payment date that should match your statement. If the charge is there but looks too high, the same screen shows when any discount ended.
To cancel Sky, you contact Sky directly (online chat or 0333 7591 018) — note that most packages carry a 31-day notice period. For a charge you believe is wrong, raise it with Sky using the itemised bill.
If you can't identify the charge, your bank can confirm what it relates to.
