All about NOW Sports Membership

* You can't currently use your Mobile Membership with foldable smartphones such as the Galaxy Z Fold. We're working on this and hope to be able to support these phones shortly. 

With Sports Day and Month Membership, you can watch the best of the live Sky Sports action and every live Sky Sports+ stream, plus selected catch-up content available on demand.

You get access to all 12 Sky Sports channels for the period covered by your membership:

If you've also got Ultra Boost (and a compatible device), you'll be able to enjoy the UHD channels Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports F1, plus 2 ad-hoc channels, Sky Sports UHD 1 and 2:

With a Sports Mobile Membership you just get access to 5 channels: Sky Sports Premier League, Sky Sports Action, Sky Sports Racing, Sky Sports Mix and Sky Sports News.

With a Sports Extra Membership you get these 6 channels: TNT Sports 1, 2, 3 and 4, and Premier Sports 1 and 2.

And if you've also got Ultra Boost (and a compatible device), you'll be able to enjoy the ad-hoc UHD channel, TNT Sports Ultimate:

• Sports Day Membership – €14.99
• Sports Month Membership – €38.99
• Sports Extra Day Membership – €14.99

Your Month Membership will auto-renew at the end of each month.

To watch the sports channels you'll need:

• Minimum 2.5Mbps broadband download speed.
• A NOW account
• With a Sports or Sports Extra Day or Month Membership: One of the devices listed here
• With a Sports Mobile Membership: An iPhone (5S or later running on iOS 13 or later) or Android smartphone (Android 5 or later).

A Sports Membership gives you access to huge live Premier League matches throughout the season, as well as action from the SPFL. You can now also watch over 1000 EFL matches each season exclusively live on Sky Sports, so you can enjoy more action than ever before from across the Championship, League One, League Two, Carabao Cup and EFL Trophy.

Keep in mindIf you've only got Sports Mobile Membership, you won't be able to watch any matches on the Football or Main Event channels.

With a Sports Extra Membership you can watch Premier League and FA Cup matches, as well as Champions League and Europa League games (excluding Red Button matches). There's also the Scottish FA Cup, Italian Serie A, Dutch Eredivisie and Chinese Super League.

Keep in mindMatches on the Red Button aren't available with any Sports Membership.

Ads are shown on the live channels and Sky Sports+ streams you can watch with your Sports or Sports Extra Membership. You'll also see ads when you watch sports on demand, unless you've got Boost or Ultra Boost, which let you stream on-demand sport ad-free. (You’ll still see promos for content you can access with your membership.) Find out more about Boost and Ultra Boost

Yes, you can. To watch the Sky Sports channels in full HD, you'll need to upgrade to Boost or Ultra Boost. It costs €5 a month for Boost or €8 for Ultra Boost, and for that you get:

• All Sky Sports channels in 1080p with Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound – plus, all Sky Sports channels stream at 50 frames per second (except on LG TV and Xbox One & Series X/S)
• Selected Sky Sports+ streams in full 1080p HD (where the video feed allows for higher stream quality. Dolby 5.1 surround sound not available)
• With Ultra Boost and a Sports Membership, 4 dedicated UHD channels (Sky Sports Main Event & Sky Sports F1, plus 2 ad-hoc channels, Sky Sports UHD 1 & 2) – or with Ultra Boost and Sports Extra Membership, the dedicated ad-hoc UHD channel TNT Sports Ultimate
• Extra devices, so up to 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 upgrade via our website, your account could take up to 4 hours to catch up. 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 stream in full HD or UHD.

Boost or Ultra Boost will renew automatically each month (unless you cancel) as long as you’ve got an active monthly membership. But if you’ve only got a Day Membership on your account, Boost or Ultra Boost will only run for one month, and won’t auto-renew – so you don’t need to remember to cancel them (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, or 30Mbps for UHD. Boost and Ultra Boost aren't available with Sports Mobile Membership. Find out more about Boost and Ultra Boost

If you've got a Sports Day or Month Membership, you can access Sky Sports+ streams for selected sports events, including additional EFL matches and F1 Race Control.

And if you've got Boost or Ultra Boost, you'll be able to view selected live streams in full 1080p HD where a higher quality stream is available.

Keep in mindYou can't watch Sky Sports+ streams with a Sports Mobile Membership.

You might see onscreen messages about using the Red Button or interactive services when watching the sports channels. Unfortunately these services aren’t available with NOW.

You can pause and rewind the live sports channels and Sky Sports+ streams for up to 2 hours on all supported devices, except for:

• LG TVs running WebOS 3.x and below
• Samsung TVs from 2016 and earlier
• Chromecast.

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.

No, you can only watch with your Sports Mobile Membership on your smartphone. If you want a slice of the sporting action on your big screen, you'll need a Sports Day or Month Membership.

Your Month Membership will start right away, and auto-renew each month.

You have 24 hours to use your Day Membership after purchasing it. (It doesn't matter what time of day you add 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 Boost or Ultra Boost, which let you stream on 2 or 3 devices at once.

You can have a Sports and a Sports Extra Membership at the same time. And you can have a Sports Mobile Membership alongside a Day or Month Membership.

But:

• If you've already got a Sports Month Membership, you won't be able to buy a Sports Day Membership.
• If you've already got a Sports Extra Month Membership, you won't be able to buy a Sports Extra Day Membership.

Day Membership

The one-off payment will be taken out on the day you add your membership.

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. Find out how to check your payment date

If you've also got another type of membership, your Sports Month Membership payment will appear separately on your statement.
