Sky Sports on Tap: How NOW Lets You Guzzle Premier League Action Without the Full Monty Subscription
NOW TV's Sports Membership offers footy fans flexible access to all 12 Sky Sports channels and extra Sky Sports+ streams for Premier League, EFL, and more, with Day or Month options starting cheap. Stream on loads of devices, upgrade with Boost for HD action, and cancel anytime without strings. Perfect for casual viewers dodging full subscriptions while catching every key moment.
Alright, footy fans, picture this: it's Saturday teatime, the pub's heaving, but you've got mates coming round for the big Prem clash. Your dodgy old Sky box is on the blink, and you're not about to shell out for a full-blown satellite dish that comes with 500 channels of guff you never watch. Fear not, because NOW TV's Sports Membership is here to save your bacon – and your wallet. It's like having Sky Sports in your pocket, without the long-term commitment that feels like signing a nine-year contract at a mid-table club.
Let's break it down, pub-style, over a pint. With a NOW Sports Membership, you're getting the full monty: all 12 Sky Sports channels, packed with live Premier League fireworks, EFL drama from the Championship right down to League Two, and a shedload of on-demand highlights to relive that dodgy penalty decision. And here's the kicker – Sky Sports+, their fancy extra streams that chuck in more EFL matches, US Open tennis (if you're into that posh racket-bashing), ATP and WTA tours, and even Betfred Super League rugby for the northern hardmen among you. No extra dosh needed; it's all bundled in.
Flexibility? Mate, it's flexier than a yoga-loving winger. Go for a Day Membership at a cheeky £14.99 and you've got 24 hours of non-stop action from the moment you hit 'buy'. Perfect for those Arsenal vs. Spurs grudge matches where you know it'll go to the wire. Or splash on a Month Membership for £34.99 and stream unlimited for 30 days – cancel anytime, no faff, and it doesn't auto-renew into a black hole of your bank balance unless you forget. Starts straight away, no faffing about with trials (sorry, no freebies on the monthly, but that day's punt is cheap as chips).
Now, devices – this is where it gets properly modern. Fire up NOW on over 60 gadgets: your iPhone while dodging the missus in the kitchen, smart TVs that make your old CRT look like a museum piece, laptops for office skivers catching lunchtime kick-offs, or even PS5 and Xbox for gamers who moonlight as pundits. Download the app, log in at NOWTV.com, and you're golden. Just make sure your broadband's not deader than a Sunday league defender – 12Mbps for the basics, 30Mbps if you want the bells and whistles.
Fancy poshing it up? Add Boost for Full HD glory, Dolby 5.1 sound that rattles the windows, and two streams at once (one for you, one for the lad in the shed). Ultra Boost? That's 4K Ultra HD, Dolby Atmos immersion like you're in the Stretford End, and three devices simultaneously – ideal for family feuds over who controls the remote. Selected content only, mind, but for the big Prem games, it's lush.
One heads-up: Box Office beasts like Tyson Fury punch-ups or WWE smackdowns aren't in the package – grab those separately via the Sky Sports Box Office app if you're that way inclined. But for pure footy? Premier League every week, EFL cup runs, F1 if you're a Verstappen tragic – it's all there, live and kicking.
Why bother? Because life's too short for pixelated streams on pirate sites that buffer mid-celebration. NOW's your no-nonsense mate: tap, pay, watch. Whether you're hyping the next Man City masterclass or laughing at another VAR meltdown in the EFL, this is how proper fans stay glued without the hassle. Next time someone's moaning about missing out, hit 'em with this – you'll be the hero with the golden ticket to footy nirvana. Cheers to that!
