Sky to cut 600 technology jobs

The Comcast-owned company has launched a consultation on proposed changes, which affect 900 roles. However, it expects 600 positions will be cut.

Employees working at the company’s Leeds, Livingston, and Osterley sites are to be affected.

The jobs are being cut as part of a reorganisation of Sky's technology team as it moves from creating new platforms, like Sky Glass and Sky Stream television, to working on existing services.

Since 2023, Sky has cut almost 3,000 roles, including engineers installing satellite dishes. Earlier in 2025, it announced the closure of three call centres, which cut 2,000 jobs.

A Sky spokesperson said: "Over the past few years, Sky has launched a set of market-leading products, including Sky Glass, Sky Stream, and our full fibre broadband service. These products are now firmly established and used by millions of customers, strengthening Sky's reputation for innovation and great service.

"As we look ahead, we are shifting our approach to bring customers the next generation of experience by investing in digital-first service, unbeatable content, and even better performance from our products, powered by the best of global innovation."
