Are the sports channels live only?

I have a sports day pass and have never used the sports channels before.

Can anyone tell me if the sports channels can only be viewed live or do they have a catch up, on demand type feature like the movies and entertainment channels do?

 

I want to watch the UFC event on BT sports in the early hours on sunday morning, but know i will fall asleep long before the main event.

Would i be able to view it as  "on demand" later on sunday morning, prefereably before i see the results online?

Its not on TV again till 10 0`clock that night, i will know the results by then.

Yes @Anonymous User you can only watch what is being broadcasted. Some content might be repeated though this is rare.

Just to let you know that BT Sports Channels are not part of the NowTV Sports Passes (all you will get is the Sky Sports live channels).

 

See link below for more details.

Really?, i always thought BT sports was included??

That was a waste of money then, i have zero interest in any other sports.

Your sports pass will sit in your account for up to 365 days so there's no rush to use it, hopefully something will be on Sky Sports before then you want to watch. If not though you can try popping onto live chat, explain you've bought it in error thinking you would get BT Sports and see if they will be willing to refund you.

 

To get to live chat, go to the following help page and choose the live chat option.

Its been on my account for a while, its actually a week pass, not a day as i thought.

Was BT sports ever included?

 

I have no idea why the UFC is so hard to watch in the UK, i will not buy a sky subscription just to watch it on BT.

@Anonymous User No it's always just been Sky Sports channels on NOW TV, your week pass is the same, it can be used anytime within a year so hopefully you'll get chance to use it.

Unfortunately for some reason BT make it very hard to subscribe for an online only solution to their sports package. They insist on having their broadband or mobile, or if you've Sky satellite or Virgin cable you can add it to your existing packages..
