Yes. In October 2026 ReleaseSky was reported running on three addresses, releasesky.xyz, releasesky.live and releasesky.com.ng, and by one estimate about 83% of desktop visits to the .xyz one came from the UK.
The .com is the address that's gone. US authorities seized releasesky.com in December 2022, in a second wave of World Cup seizures aimed at the comeback domains pirate sites had moved to after the first, and it remains seized. The site simply kept going on the other endings. releasesky.live, the oldest address anyone could date, was registered on 28 July 2022 and is one of the three still in use. No UK court order against it has been found, despite its mostly British audience.
Beside each domain at the top you'll see today's result from a check we run ourselves. F1, boxing and football from a real provider: watch here.
What Happened to ReleaseSky
- releasesky.live was registered on 28 July 2022, the oldest date WheresTheMatch could verify for the brand.
- releasesky.com was among the new domains seized by US authorities in a second wave of FIFA World Cup seizures that targeted comeback domains of pirate sports streaming sites.
- An affidavit by a Homeland Security Investigations agent listed releasesky.com among the Verisign-registered domains the registry was asked to hand over.
Is ReleaseSky Safe?
The name is the first trap. ReleaseSky borrows Sky's, but it has no tie to the broadcaster, and no one has said who runs it. Any page under this name that asks for a Sky login or payment details is after something.
A MalwareTips scan rated releasesky.live 'Moderate Risk' and described one or two pop-ups to close before a game appears. That's the gentle version. Sites like this also open new tabs, hide ads behind decoy play buttons, show 18+ ads and ask you to install a player or an extension. The harmful end is malware, notification spam and scam forms chasing a card number or an ID scan. Searches for the name also surface Tenor Sky and SlapSky, which have no proven link to it and their own ads to sell.
If one of those pages has your card details, call your bank and block the card today, then remove any app it made you install. For the same race or fight, go here instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is ReleaseSky?
ReleaseSky is a no-cost sports streaming site billed for football, F1 and boxing, with an audience that is mostly British. The earliest date anyone has confirmed for it is 28 July 2022, when releasesky.live was registered. US authorities seized releasesky.com that December, during the World Cup, and the site has carried on through .xyz, .live and .com.ng addresses. Its operator has never been named.
Is ReleaseSky part of Sky?
No. The name borrows Sky's, but ReleaseSky streams without the rights holders' permission and has nothing to do with the broadcaster's own apps. To see which broadcaster really has the games in your country, Sky included where it holds rights, check our Premier League page.
What happened to releasesky.com?
It went in December 2022, in the second American wave of World Cup seizures, handled in the District of Maryland. A January 2023 affidavit from a Homeland Security Investigations agent listed releasesky.com among domains whose registry, Verisign, was asked to hand them over to the government.
What is the new ReleaseSky address?
Three addresses were reported in use in October 2026: releasesky.xyz, releasesky.live and releasesky.com.ng. None of them is guaranteed to last, and the list at the top shows how each one answered our check today. We print them as text only, never as links.
Is ReleaseSky the same as Tenor Sky or SlapSky?
Nothing shows that. Searches for ReleaseSky bring up both names, and tenorsky.com was seized in the same December 2022 wave as releasesky.com, but no source links the operators. Treat each as a separate unknown.
Is ReleaseSky legal in the UK?
It shows football, F1 and boxing without permission from the rights holders, which is why US authorities took the .com. Nobody has turned up a UK blocking order so far, even though most of its visitors are in Britain.
Where can I watch F1 and boxing instead?
Does a VPN make ReleaseSky safe?
It doesn't. A VPN can't close a pop-up or stop a fake download from running. It is useful for real services: if you pay for a UK sports app and travel abroad, a VPN keeps it working, and it can also open a service from another country, streaming in up to 4K.
What else do people call ReleaseSky?
People search for release sky, releasesky, release sky streams and sky release, make typos like realeasesky and releasesku, and type the addresses releasesky.com, releasesky.xyz and releasesky.live directly.
