Help tipIf you upgraded to Boost or Ultra 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 or UHD.
Boost or Ultra 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 or Ultra Boost will only run for one month, and won’t auto-renew – so you don’t need to remember to cancel it.
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 the Sports Mobile Membership. Find out more about Boost and Ultra Boost
Highlights for each match, or for each day of a test match, will be available to watch on demand within 48 hours after the end of play.
