Simply download the BT Sport app through the App Store and sign in to your BT Sport account to access all 4 BT Sport channels – BT Sport 1, 2, 3 and BT Sport ESPN.
The BT Sport subscription isn't included in your NOW Membership.
Yes, you can. To watch the Sky Sports channels in full HD, you'll need to upgrade to NOW Boost. It costs just £6 a month, and for that you get:
- All Sky Sports channels in 1080p with Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound
- All Sky Sports channels at 50 frames per second (except on LG TV and Xbox One & Series X/S)
- Extra devices, so 3 people in your household can watch at the same time
- Plus you can stream on-demand sports ad-free (as well as ad-free shows and movies if you've got Cinema or Entertainment Membership). Find out more
Help tipIf you buy Boost via our website, your account could take up to 4 hours to reflect the fact that you've added it. To get around this, you can trigger it to update by signing out of the NOW app and signing back in again. You'll then be able to enjoy Sky Sports in full HD.
NOW Boost will renew automatically each month (unless you cancel it) as long as you’ve got an active monthly membership. But if you’ve only got a Sports Day Membership on your account, your Boost will only run for one month, and won’t auto-renew – so you don’t need to remember to cancel it (unless you're subscribing via a third party, like Apple).
Keep in mindYou'll need a compatible device and an internet speed of at least 12Mbps to stream in 1080p. NOW Boost isn't available with Sports Mobile Membership. Find out more about NOW Boost
No, you can only watch with your Sports Mobile Membership on a supported Android or iOS smartphone. To watch on a tablet, you'll need to have a Sports Day or Month Membership.
Your Sports Month Membership will start right away, and auto-renew each month.
You can start your Sports Day Membership at a time that suits you. When you add your membership, it'll automatically be saved for you for up to a year. And it'll start automatically whenever you start watching Sky Sports. (It doesn't matter what time of day you activate your membership – you'll still get the full 24 hours).
Your membership will run continuously once you start it. You won’t be able to pause it.
You can watch on 1 device at a time – unless you've got NOW Boost, which lets you stream on 3 devices at once.
You can only have one Sports Day or Month Membership at a time, but alongside either of these you can also have a Sports Mobile Membership.
Day Membership
The one-off payment will be taken out on the day you add your membership.
If you've also got another type of membership, the Sports Membership payment will appear separately on your statement.
Month Membership
Your first monthly payment will be taken on the day you add your membership. Your next payment will be taken on the same day the following month, or sometimes (if you also start another membership at the same time) a day or two later – in which case you get any extra days for free.

If you've also got another type of membership, your Sports Month Membership payment will appear separately on your statement.
If you're a BT customer, when you add Sports Membership as a bolt-on the cost will be added to your monthly BT bill. To check what you'll pay and when, log in to My BT and look for Billing & Usage.
If you’ve got an iPhone or Android smartphone, it’s easy to add a reminder to your calendar to make sure you don’t miss the big match.
To set a reminder you’ll need to have the NOW app installed (just search NOW in the App Store or Google Play), and be logged in with your email address and password. When you find an event that you don’t want to miss, hit Add to calendar to set a reminder.
The first time you add a reminder, or when you install the app, you’ll be asked to give NOW permission to access your calendar. Just select Allow, or go to your settings to grant access your calendar.
Don’t worry – we’ll never use this to access any of your personal data. You can remove permission to access your calendar at any time in Settings.
