If you want to watch Sky content but don’t want to be tied into a contract, Now’s Memberships are a great option. With services for Entertainment, Cinema, Sports and more, there’s loads of content to stream.
Now is exclusive to the UK. However, if you want to catch the latest sports game or episode of your favourite show whilst you’re travelling, then there is a simple workaround. Here’s how to stream Now from abroad.
You can see how Now compares to rivals such as Netflix and Prime Video in our chart of the best streaming services .

Can I watch Now outside the UK?
We can confirm that you can watch Now from abroad. However, you’ll need to have bought a Now Membership while you’re in the UK before you travel, or have access to login details for an existing account.
If you have that, then all you need is a VPN (virtual private network). This reroutes your IP address, so you can appear as if you’re browsing the internet from other countries.
Once you’ve downloaded your VPN, connect to UK server. Then, head to Now website and log in. You should be able to stream as usual – we’ve tested this method and can confirm it works.
Here’s the full pricing for Now Memberships, though new users can get discounts and bundles:
- Now Entertainment Membership – £9.99 per month
- Now Cinema Membership – £9.99 per month
- Now Sports Membership – £34.99 per month
- Now Hayu Membership – £4.99 per month

We tested this method, and were not able to get through to the payment page – even with a VPN. You’ll most likely see this page appear:
