Can I access BT Sport on now TV? To watch champions League matches.

Hi @Anonymous User

Unfortunately at the moment there is no BT Sport on the NowTV service .

There is a cross supply agreement between BT & NowTV where the BT Sport App is maybe coming to the NowTV boxes & stick.

Where this information is still a little sketchy at the moment and no official date has been confirmed apart from it's apparently going to happen sometime during 2019.

Hi @UKTVPlayapp

The link from the third party website that was posted on this thread on here says Smart Stick or Smart Box with voice search which suggests to me the 4K Smart box.

Where if you believe the NowTV Tweet posted by the NowTV Twitter Help Team they are quoting the NowTV stick plus all NowTV boxes apart from the first generation white box.

Suppose we will have to wait and see, but i doubt very much the white box will be compatible with the BT Sports App where it doesn't offer the full range of Apps from the NowTV Apps Store due to the lack of processing grunt being a first generation box.

Surely it's going to be on NOW TV Smart Box with 4K & Voice Search as well. The two boxes listed are obsolete.

Hi @Anonymous User

If it's similar to the Sky Sports Box Office or Netflix App then i would expect all NowTV branded devices will support the future BT Sports App (except the white NowTV box).

Though i have no insider knowledge about this, just pure speculation / guess work on my part.

Where is your source for BT passes on Now TV?

Currently it is only Ireland that has the BT sport pass on Now TV. Nothing yet for the UK market.

Direct from BT regarding BT sport month pass.

https://www.bt.com/sport/monthly-pass

The BT Sport Monthly Pass allows you to watch through the BT Sport app on iOS, Android, Chromecast, Samsung Smart TV, Xbox One, Apple TV and Sony PlayStation 4. You can also watch online at sport.bt.com

Please note: you can't watch the BT Sport Monthly Pass on an Amazon Fire TV stick or a set-top box from any TV provider. This includes BT, Sky and Virgin

FYI that I do not work for NOW, just a NOW customer trying to help

It has already been confirmed the BT Sport app is coming to NowTV devices. All anyone knows for certain is that the cross supply agreement will be up and running in time for the 2019/20 EPL season.

There are links available if you search for them. I'm having too lazy a night to go looking now.

BT don't do Sports passes like NowTV do. It will be a contract, most likely 18 months for BT Sport, unless Sky can improve on the current deal.

Not in so far as I am aware. I've tried messaging 'BT Sport' through social media but they didn't even bother replying... which is annoying, to say the least, given we've now been waiting since the end of 2017 - when the whole "cross supply of channels" agreement was announced - and they originally said they expected it to be available from "early 2019" which (as we're now in the middle of April) is pretty much over at this point.

As mentioned previously, I would now expect a more realistic timeframe to be around the start of the 2019/20 football season... but there's no guarantee of this.
