Sky is set to cut 600 jobs in the UK as it refocuses on streaming and digital services. Around two-thirds of the affected positions are at its Leeds, London, and Livingston sites, with Leeds expected to see the largest impact.
The move follows a broader restructuring programme that has removed nearly 3,000 roles since 2023, including satellite installation and call centre positions. The current reductions are aimed at consolidating overlapping functions rather than cutting costs or targeting performance.
Sky is directing resources toward its digital-first services, including Sky Glass, Sky Stream, and full fibre broadband, with an emphasis on improving product performance and content delivery. Analysts note the job cuts affect under 5% of the workforce and reflect shifting priorities in how the company serves customers across its TV and streaming platforms.
