Streaming Apps and Device Guide
Sky Sports customers can use Sky’s supported digital services where their subscription permits, while NOW viewers can watch through the NOW app. NOW supports a range of compatible smart TVs, phones, tablets, computers, consoles and streaming devices.

Casting and Smart TV Options
If you plan to watch on a television rather than a phone or computer, the simplest option is normally to use the relevant app directly on a compatible smart TV or streaming device. Supported casting options depend on the service and device being used, so it is worth checking your setup before kick-off rather than connecting at the last minute.
Watching While Travelling or Abroad
Broadcast access can change according to location. A UK subscription does not automatically mean the same match feed will be available when travelling overseas, so supporters outside the UK should check the authorised broadcaster serving the country they are in.
Streaming services can also apply geographic restrictions, meaning availability should be checked directly within the relevant service when away from home.
Live Audio, Highlights and Replay
Supporters looking for an audio alternative should check the clubs’ official channels close to kick-off for any match commentary information. After the final whistle, check Sky Sports and the clubs’ official platforms for any highlights or replay coverage that is subsequently published.
