Partnerships

Four partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• Amazon LEO (Project Kuiper)coreTechnology or Integration · 24 February 2026SKY Brasil expanded its collaboration with Amazon LEO (formerly Project Kuiper) for satellite internet services, enabling the company to offer satellite-based broadband connectivity to customers in areas with limited terrestrial internet infrastructure. This partnership combines SKY's established DTH distribution network with Amazon's LEO satellite constellation for expanded connectivity services.
• Disney+ and Star+minorGTM or Marketing PartnerSKY Brasil offered promotional bundles including Disney+ and Star+ streaming services as part of subscription packages, providing cross-promotional access to Disney's streaming content catalog for SKY subscribers.
• Programmers and Content ProviderscoreOthersSKY sublicenses content from various programming companies (programadoras) including sports leagues (Brasileirão, state championships), movie studios, and broadcast networks. These content partnerships are fundamental to SKY's service offering.
• DirecTVcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerSKY Brasil operates as part of the broader AT&T/DirecTV satellite television ecosystem in Latin America, sharing technology, content licensing arrangements, and operational infrastructure with DirecTV and other regional satellite TV operations.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• DirecTV Latin America (Vrio): Vrio operates DirecTV-branded satellite pay-TV services across Latin America (excluding Brazil operations run by SKY Brasil). It is the parent/sister ecosystem sharing content licensing, technology, and operational infrastructure with SKY Brasil, making it the most directly comparable peer in business model and DTH delivery.
• Claro (América Móvil): Claro is one of Brazil's largest pay-TV operators (cable, satellite, and fiber) and a direct competitor to SKY Brasil across residential and SME segments. Both compete for Brazilian households seeking multi-channel TV packages, with Claro leveraging its mobile and fixed-line telecom infrastructure.
• Vivo TV (Telefônica Brasil): Vivo (Telefônica Brasil) provides pay-TV services bundled with its mobile and fiber offerings, directly competing with SKY Brasil for Brazilian households. Both target converged services (TV + internet + mobile) with overlapping distribution channels in Brazil.
• Sky México: Sky México operates the same DTH satellite pay-TV model as SKY Brasil under the broader DirecTV/Vrio umbrella. It is highly comparable in product offering (postpaid, prepaid, sports content, hybrid receivers) and serves a Latin American market with similar dynamics.
• Oi (Oi TV): Oi TV was historically one of Brazil's largest pay-TV operators via cable and DTH. Although Oi TV has retrenched significantly, it remains a peer in the Brazilian pay-TV market and a residual competitor to SKY Brasil in certain regions and customer segments.

Broad incumbents

• Amazon Prime Video (Channels): Amazon Prime Video offers streaming content and live sports (including NFL Thursday Night and select Brasileirão games) in Brazil. It competes with SKY+ for streaming attention and, via the Amazon Kuiper partnership, could also become a bundled connectivity competitor to SKY.
• Netflix: Netflix is the dominant global SVOD platform with a significant Brazilian subscriber base. It represents the primary OTT alternative drawing Brazilian consumers away from traditional pay-TV subscriptions, including SKY Brasil's core offering.

Emerging players

• Max (formerly HBO Max): Max (the Warner Bros. Discovery streaming platform) offers premium series, movies, and HBO content in Brazil. It competes with SKY's premium movie tiers and has been integrated into Brazilian pay-TV bundles, making it both a competitor and a potential content partner.
• Globoplay: Globoplay is Globo's DTC streaming platform offering live TV, novelas, sports (including Brasileirão), and on-demand content. It competes directly with SKY+ streaming for Brazilian consumer attention and increasingly bundles live sports rights that historically anchored SKY's pay-TV value proposition.

Others

• Star One (Embratel): Star One is Brazil's leading satellite operator (Embratel subsidiary) that provides satellite capacity used by SKY Brasil for DTH distribution. It is an ecosystem/infrastructure participant — not a direct pay-TV competitor — but its satellite capacity terms directly affect SKY's cost structure.
