US College American Football and Basketball on Sky Sports NFL

[michaelw89]

With the recent announcement that Sky has picked up ESPN's coverage of the above for the next two seasons if one wants to access this via NOW TV, will you have to subscribe to NOW's Sports Membership Package or the 'Fully Flexible' Month Membership package to access the Sky Sports NFL channel via NOW TV?

Hi @michaelw89 

A NOW monthly Sports Membership or Day Sports Membership will do the trick where you get all eleven Sky Sports channels.

If you are happy to watch on a smartphone then the Mobile Sports Membership will cover the live Sky Sports Action and Arena channels where the majority of American Football and Basketball is aired.

You won't have access to the other five Sky Sports channels with a Mobile Sports Membership nor access to on Demand or catchup Sports content (only live or on a live repeat broadcast).

Not sure if the above has answered your question.

Hi @michaelw89 

Further information about the different NOW Sports Memberships in the linked article below.

Though there is usually discount deals floating about, where for example there is a NOW Black Friday Deal currently available for a minimum 6 month term of £17.49 per month.

Or if you have a current NOW Sports monthly Membership, then a few people have cancelled their deal with NOW and got £17.99 per month for six months and you are not tied to the six months and can cancel anytime.

I think I read somewhere that this American US college events starts either on Sky Sports today or tomorrow (maybe check the TV Guide online for dates).
