How Do I Purchase a Now TV Sports Day Membership?

BARNESIP — Sun, 04 May 2025 22:34:19 GMT

I'm a BT BB customer with a YouView Box and a Now TV Lite Entertainment subscription. Logging on to the Now TV website to purchase a Sports Day Membership, I am now redirected to My BT in order to make the purchase. I did this last month, but when I attempted to do this earlier this evening I couldn't find the option?!?! Hence, my son and I missed the Miami GP!!!!!!!!!!

So, can someone give me a clue please?

As far as I remember, you can't buy additional passes directly from Nowtv using your BT Nowtv account details and you'll need to set up a separate Nowtv account using a different email address. If you do this, you will need to log out of the Nowtv app and log back in using the alternative email address and you will have to watch via the app and not the EPG.

EE tv is effectively a middle man for now tv. You have to subscribe for at least 24 months.

All the good stuff like UHD cheap deals (I have never paid full price) and sports passes are only available if you subscribe direct.

You should be able buy it through your account on the BT website.

Choose Upgrade TV then Manage EE TV Extras, there you can buy a Sky Sports Day Pass for £14.99, it will be activated immediately.

I just checked and the option is there on my account.

You can and I have.

Not true. I have purchased Now TV Sports Day Memberships for years.

I am no longer getting the option to purchase a Now TV Sports Day Membership.

If I select ...

My BT (Home) > Get more from My BT (Products) Manage > Your Products (TV) Manage > Now Entertainment M'ship

I just get options to add monthly subscriptions for TNT Sports, NOW Cinema, Netflix, Asian Mix, and NOW Hayu.

Or if I go ...

My BT (Home) > Explore EE TV > Manage EE TV extras >

I get the same four monthly options.

Also be advised any changes to your subscriptions regarding EE tv usually triggers a new 24 month broadband contract.

BT allow you dip in and out of TV packages as you wish there is not a requirement to recontract.

Also I currently subscribe to the ''full works' TV package the first 3 months of which are costing me a total of £25 per month,Id like to see NOW match that kind of discount.

Often thought who fell for these "first three months " offers .

Obviously from months 4 to 24 you pay full price which the savings made from now over the same period easily wipe out any alleged savings you think you've made.

Of course there's no requirement to reconnect, it's often done without warning.

My usual option for a day with Sky/NowTV is to go to the pub and for my money get a few free pints thrown in. 🙂

I was looking to purchase month pass to Sky sports for the Lions games and found disappointingly that the option to purchase a pass as I have done in the past seems to be missing as well.

Is this a recent decision by BT or change to the service offered?

Been with BT a number of years now and did like the option to dip in and out as and when but this change could make me think about a new TV service approach.

@roguck it is still listed as an available addon by BT so it should be orderable.I hope BT are not going down the EE route of requiring customers to ring up due to their apps and website not keeping up with the product line.

Proceed with caution as there do seem to be instances of some orders resulting in customers being recontracted which is not the intention/purpose of addons. Also it seems some guides seem unfamilar with the products.,
