How much does NOW TV cost?

The way NOW TV works is you choose the pass/es that are right for you.

The passes are separate monthly subscriptions that give access to either live TV broadcasts – as with the sports pass – or a collection of TV shows and films.

The Entertainment Pass costs £7.99 per month, with a 7-day free trial available for first-time subscribers.

It gives users access to 12 live channels and 300 TV series boxsets.

The Sky Cinema Pass costs £11.99 per month, with a 7-day free trial available for first-time subscribers.

It gives users access to all 11 Sky Sports Channels.

There’s also a Sky Sports mobile-only pass available for £5.99 per month, which allows viewers to stream 5 Sky Sports channels on their phones or tablets.

The NOW TV Kids Pass costs £3.99 per month, with a 7-day free trial available for first-time subscribers. Users get 6 channels, plus thousands of episodes on demand.

The final pass option is one for the reality TV lovers. The hayu Month Pass costs £3.99 per month, with a 7-day free trial available for all first-time subscribers.
