Sky Go
Sky Go is a streaming app for Sky TV customers that lets you watch live channels, on-demand shows, and downloads on a Mac.
What is Sky Go?
Sky Go is an entertainment app for watching Sky TV on additional devices, including Mac computers. It is designed for existing Sky customers who want to stream live TV, sports, movies, and on-demand programmes away from their main TV setup. On macOS, the app is commonly used for personal viewing at home, while travelling, or when a television is not available. It also supports downloading selected content for offline viewing, which is useful for commuting and trips. Sky Go fits into the broader Sky viewing experience by giving subscribers access to their eligible channels and library across supported devices. The app is published by Sky UK Limited.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Sky Go is legitimate streaming software for Sky customers. It needs network access to stream or download video, and downloaded programmes may be stored locally for offline viewing. If you remove the app, you may lose downloaded viewing content and will no longer be able to watch Sky through the Mac app until it is reinstalled. Keep your macOS version and the app up to date for the best compatibility and security.
Recommendation: Keep Sky Go if you watch Sky content on your Mac or use offline downloads. If you no longer use Sky viewing on this device, you can remove it like other apps, knowing that any downloaded programmes in the app may also be removed.
