What is the NOW TV Sky Sports Pass?

The NOW TV Sports Pass includes access to 12 live Sky Sports channels so users can stream the biggest sporting events, from F1 to Premier League football matches:

  • Sky Sports
  • Sky Sports Football
  • Sky Sports F1
  • Sky Sports Tennis
  • Sky Sports Cricket
  • Sky Sports Racing
  • Sky Sports Action
  • Sky Sports Golf
  • Sky Sports Mix
  • Sky Sports News
  • Sky Sports Main Event
  • Sky Sports +

You can choose from three different subscription options for the Sky Sports Pass:

  • The Flexible Month Membership (£34.99 a month) is a rolling 30-day contract that auto renews monthly
  • The Day Membership (£14.99) gives you 24-hour access to the 12 channels so you can catch a particular game or tournament
  • The 6-Month Saver Membership (£32 a month) saves you 8% on the monthly price of the flexible month membership

With all three of these memberships, you'll be able to stream content on one device only, in 720p resolution with stereo sound, and live channels will feature ad breaks. 

However, you can upgrade to NOW Boost to stream on two devices at once in 1080p Full HD with Dolby 5.1 surround sound, or to Ultra Boost to stream on three devices in 4K Ultra HD with Dolby Atmos surround sound.
