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.
NOW TV Entertainment membership
Previously known as the NOW TV Entertainment pass, the NOW Entertainment TV membership has 14 channels you can watch either live or on-demand, which includes access to Sky original content as well as the best of US TV. The NOW Entertainment membership is also one of the few ways to watch Sky Atlantic, the home of HBO in the UK.
