Like Sky TV, NOW lets you mix and match subscriptions, called TV Memberships, to give you access to the channels and shows that you want but with even more flexibility.

NOW offers four TV memberships: Entertainment, Cinema, Sports and Hayu. Here’s a breakdown of what channels are on NOW TV.

NOW TV Entertainment channels

Previously known as the NOW TV Entertainment Pass, the NOW Entertainment TV membership has 16 channels you can watch either live or on-demand, which includes access to Sky's original content as well as the best of US TV.

The NOW Entertainment TV membership is also one of the few ways to watch Sky Atlantic, the home of HBO in the UK.

The Entertainment membership is available on a rolling monthly basis for £9.99, but it's often cheaper per month if you commit to a six-month minimum contract. There are also regular offers available when signing up with other services.

NOW Sports membership

Sky Sports channels offer specialised coverage of a huge variety of sports, with other channels dedicated to major events and news. A NOW Sports membership includes access to all 12 of Sky’s sports channels:

The NOW Sports membership is available on a rolling monthly subscription for £34.99 which you can cancel at any time, but you can usually get it for cheaper each month if you sign up for a year-long contract.

You can also get a Sports Day which gives you access for one day to watch a specific match or event on your TV for just £11.99.

This is a great option for those looking to cherry-pick important games and events they're keen to watch.

NOW Cinema channels

If you’re more of a movie buff then you can enjoy over 1,000 movies on-demand across 11 channels with a NOW Cinema membership.

Sky Cinema channels change throughout the year, with seasonal channels dedicated to a topic, theme, actor or director being released when relevant. For example, Sky Cinema Christmas, Sky Cinema Monsters, Sky Cinema Must See Movies, etc.

The NOW Cinema membership is available on a rolling monthly basis for £9.99, and similarly you can get it cheaper on a six-month minimum contract.

NOW Hayu pass

The undisputed home of reality TV, Hayu is available as an additional NOW TV channel, giving you access to over 3,000 episodes of reality TV on demand for £4.99 (after a secen-day free trial).

NOW TV Freeview channels

Unfortunately, you cannot access Freeview channels via NOW TV. However, as these services are free you'll be able to access them by downloading the Freeview app on your streaming device or smart TV if it isn't already included.
