Compare NOW TV deals

NOW (formerly NOW TV) gives you Sky Atlantic, Sky Sports and Sky Cinema as monthly streaming passes — no dish, no long contract. Bundle with NOW Broadband to save more.

What Is NOW and How Does It Work?

NOW is owned by Sky and gives you access to Sky's TV channels, sports coverage and movies without a traditional Sky subscription. Instead of one package, you buy individual membership passes — Entertainment, Cinema, Sports or Hayu — and combine them however you like.
You stream everything over your existing broadband. There is no satellite dish, no set-top box to wait for, and no installation appointment. All you need is a compatible device: smart TV, laptop, phone, tablet, games console, Amazon Fire Stick or Apple TV.
Bundling NOW with NOW Broadband usually unlocks a small monthly discount on the Entertainment pass, but you do not need to be a NOW Broadband customer. Any broadband connection running at 2 Mbps or above will stream standard quality; 12 Mbps is recommended if you add the Boost HD upgrade.

NOW TV Passes — Prices and What's Included

Flexible passes can be cancelled anytime. Saver plans require a minimum 6-month term.

When NOW Is the Right Choice

You want Sky Atlantic exclusives — Succession, The Last of Us, House of the Dragon — without committing to an 18 or 24-month contract.

You follow Premier League, Formula 1, or golf and prefer to pay for Sports only during the season, then cancel during summer.

You're renting and can't install a satellite dish. NOW streams entirely over broadband — no engineer visit required.

You travel frequently and need access on a laptop, phone, or tablet rather than a fixed set-top box.

When NOW May Not Be the Right Fit

  • You want Netflix and Disney+ in the same subscription — NOW does not include either
  • You want 4K on a budget — Ultra Boost adds to the monthly cost on top of the pass price
  • You stream on more than 3 devices simultaneously — Ultra Boost allows 3 streams maximum
  • You want a fixed monthly cost long-term — Sky or Virgin bundles may offer better value per month

How to Get a Better Deal on NOW TV

1

Choose the 6-Month Saver Plan

Opting for a 6-month Saver plan on Entertainment or Cinema saves around £36 over six months compared to the flexible monthly price — roughly a 30% discount.

2

Bundle Entertainment + Cinema

The 12-month combined Entertainment and Cinema deal drops to £8.99 per month — significantly cheaper than paying for both passes separately month to month.

3

Use a Sports Day Pass

For one-off events — a Champions League final, a Grand Prix, or a golf major — the £14.99 Sports Day Pass is far cheaper than a full monthly pass if you're not a regular viewer.

4

Add Boost Selectively

Boost (£6/mo) removes on-demand ads and unlocks Full HD and Dolby 5.1 audio. Add it when you're actively watching, cancel when you're not — flexible passes make this straightforward.

How to Compare NOW TV Deals on Switch

From pass selection to signed up in minutes

1Step

Enter Your Postcode

Switch checks availability of NOW Broadband plans at your address. If you want to bundle TV passes with NOW Broadband for a small discount, this confirms which speeds are available on your street.

2Step

Pick Your Passes

Compare the Entertainment, Cinema, Sports, and Hayu passes side by side. Filter by flexible vs Saver plans and add Boost to compare the full cost including HD upgrade.

3Step

Check Total Cost

Switch shows total contract cost, not just the headline monthly rate. For Saver plans with a 6-month minimum, seeing the full term cost helps you compare fairly against Sky or Virgin bundles.

4Step

Sign Up Directly

Click through to complete your order with NOW at the same price as going direct. No mark-up from Switch. Flexible passes go live immediately — no engineer required.

Why compare NOW TV deals with Switch

Up-to-date prices, honest filters, no-pressure switching — every plan we list is from a verified UK partner.

Verified prices

Every broadband tariff is sourced from a verified UK partner and refreshed daily — what you see is what you pay.

Switch in minutes

Most customers complete a switch in under ten minutes from comparison to confirmation — no phone calls required.

No hidden fees

We never charge a comparison fee. Our partners pay us a referral when you sign up — your price is the same either way.

Real choice

Compare every major UK supplier in one place — including the smaller challengers the big sites skip.

How switching works

Switching is genuinely fast — most customers go from comparison to a confirmed plan in under ten minutes.

1Step

Enter your postcode

We cross-reference Openreach and CityFibre availability so you only see packages that work at your address.

2Step

Compare deals

Filter broadband packages by speed, monthly cost, setup fee and contract length — sort by whichever matters most.

3Step

Order online

Sign up directly with the provider. Most installs happen within 2 weeks; full-fibre installs need an Openreach engineer visit.

What to look for in a broadband deal

Headline broadband prices are usually for the first year only, after which they jump 30–50%. Filter by total contract cost (not just monthly) to compare like-for-like, and watch for setup fees that some providers waive seasonally.

Full-fibre packages cost only marginally more than copper FTTC and are far more reliable — if your postcode supports it, taking the upgrade is almost always the right call.
