Sky Go is a standalone app for valid Sky TV customers in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It lets you stream on-demand content, including TV channels like Sky Cinema, Sky Sports, TNT Sports, etc. Sky Go is unavailable on the Amazon appstore, so you can’t directly install it on Firestick. Luckily, you can sideload the Sky Go APK on your Fire TV using Downloader or screen mirror the app from your phone. This guide will show two ways to stream Sky Go on a Fire TV Stick.
How to Screen Mirror Sky Go on Firestick
To begin the process, connect your Firestick to WiFi. Ensure it is paired to the same wireless network as your Android smartphone.

2. Mirror Content from Your Device
