I am looking to sign up to the sports package but want to ensure that I will be able to continue watching when travelling overseas? I am UK based but will be heading away on Holiday frequently so want to be able to continue watching using the app. Is this possible?

No, Now TV only works in UK. Might be possible to watch via VPN, but never tried it.

If Now detect that you are coming in over a VPN, they will refuse the connection.

Set a Payment PIN on your account so that no-one but you can buy memberships on it.
Check your bank accounts monthly for any other unexpected payments to Now.
That way you can at least nip them in the bud, while you and Now figure out whose fault they are.

Yes, I am in the UK and can’t sign in to Now if my VPN is enabled.

Thanks to Brexit we are no longer allowed to watch freely in the EU 😡

That’s not true,

They could perfectly well let us watch in the EU if they wanted to.

What’s changed with Brexit is that they are no longer forced to let us watch in the EU.

And they have chosen not to. Rather different 😢
