NOW TV channels give access to all of Sky’s TV shows, movies and box sets with the freedom and flexibility of a streaming platform. Like Sky TV, you’re able to mix and match subscriptions –– called TV Memberships –– to give you access to the NOW TV channels and shows that you want but with even more flexibility.
NOW offers five TV memberships: Entertainment, Cinema, Sports, Kids and hayu. Here’s a breakdown what channels are on NOW TV.
