Those looking to watch the upcoming Premier League, Paralympics, or US Open sports action this summer can make the most of a huge streaming deal. Virgin Media is back with its freebie handout, and it'll cut hundreds off bill payer's plans.
Virgin Media is offering a free 43-inch Hisense TV or a £250 bill credit to customers who choose one of its plans. This deal provides a brand-new TV for streaming, which could be particularly useful for football fans.
This offer is only available to customers who select one of four plans: the Bigger Movie Combo Bundle, Bigger Sports HD Combo Bundle, Biggest Combo, or Mega Volt Bundle. Each plan offers something different for viewers, whether it's access to Sky Sports, Cinema, Netflix, broadband, or all of them combined.

Virgin Media has previously offered similar deals, including free Nintendo Switches and PS5s, making it a popular choice among tech enthusiasts. As thousands of Premier League, Paralympic, and US Open fans prepare to watch live, this deal could be an excellent fit for those in need of a new streaming package.
However, this offer is only available until the end of the week, concluding at 11:59 pm on Sunday, August 18. The date of Virgin Media's next free bundle offer is currently unknown, reports the Mirror.
Keen shoppers should be aware that to snag this deal, you'll be locked into a 24-month contract with no flexibility to exit halfway without incurring a hefty fee. The plans kick off at £59.99 per month, meaning the minimum total cost over the full term is £1,439 - which includes a free 43-inch Hisense TV or £250 bill credit, access to 200 TV channels, Sky Sports HD and Movies.
Here's a breakdown of what each plan includes
The Bigger Sports HD Combo Bundle has more than 195 channels, including Sky Sports, ultrafast fibre with an average speed of 516Mbps, and weekend calls. The Biggest Combo Bundle has even more, with 210 channels, including Sky Sport, Sky Cinema and Netflix, ultrafast fibre with an average speed of 132Mbps, and weekend calls.
Moving over to the Mega Volt Bundle, it has more than 230 channels, including Sky Sports and Sky Cinema in HD, ultrafast fibre with an average speed of 1130Mbps, anytime calls, and an unlimited 10GB O2 SIM. And the fourth Bigger Movie Combo Bundle has over 200 channels, including Sky Cinema and 11 kids' channels, ultrafast fibre broadband with an average speed of 516Mbps, and weekend calls.
Sky rivals Virgin Media's £0 Hisense TV
TV deals are coming thick and fast, with numerous options available for streaming fans to secure cheaper subscriptions, discounts on broadband and channel bundles, or even cash towards an existing bill. Rival company Sky is also pulling out all the stops to offer sports fans a more affordable price this summer.
The competitor's offering has become even more tempting, with the price for its Sky Stream, Sky TV, Sky Sport, and Netflix package being slashed to £43 a month. This deal does not come with broadband which makes it an attractive pick for those purely in search of top-notch telly.
Its commitment to a 50% boost of coverage is also a one-up for streamers, as The Mirror highlights. "A standout selling point is Sky's pledge to supercharge its sports coverage.
"According to a statement on the Sky Sports website: "Launching this August, Sky Sports+ will be transformational in the amount of choice sports fans will have access to via live streams on Sky TV, streaming service NOW and the improved Sky Sports App on mobile".
The site promises a boost including extensive EFL, an enriched tennis tour, and every clash of the men's Super League. So while the primary pull is the increased sports content, another compelling motive for customers to consider this provider is due to its competitive pricing when pitted against Virgin."
Another retailer worth comparing the prices on is NOW TV, and as part of its NOW 6-Month Save Sports membership, viewers can tap into six months at the cheaper £26 per month rate, and watch all 12 Sky Sports channel and Sky Sports+ Stream in full HD.
