NOW is the easy way to get the movies, shows and sports you want, when you want. All you need to get started is an internet connection and a compatible device.
You can watch on loads of devices, including smart TVs and streaming devices, laptops, smartphones and games consoles.
How does it work?
To start watching NOW, just choose your membership and create a free NOW account to join.
There are 4 different types of membership: Entertainment, Cinema, Sports and Hayu.
Simply pick the combination that suits you, and change whenever you like, as often as you like.
Each membership gives you access to the latest on demand movies or shows, and live TV channels too (except for Hayu).
Sign up with a minimum-term plan
We'll sometimes have a minimum-term plan available for our Entertainment, Cinema and Sports Memberships, which allows you to sign up for a fixed period of several months at a lower monthly price.
This means that if you cancel your membership during your minimum term, your cancellation won’t take effect until your plan ends.
Head to NOWTV.com/ie to see our current minimum-term plans.
