How to watch match on Sky Box Office

Post by CardiffClaret » Fri Nov 06, 2020 1:58 pm

Sorry if this has already been answered on another thread

I'm trying to sign up to pay to watch the match on Sky Box Office tonight. I don't have sky, but was planning to watch via NowTV. I've gone onto the Sky Box Office webiste to book the match and when I click to book it, I get a message saying that I have to have sky tv in order to book and view the event.

I'm confused! I thought the PPV matches were available to anyone, irrespective of whether you have Sky or not?

Has anyone else come across this?

I don't have Sky and have just booked it to watch via the NowTV app. I had similar problems on the main sky website but it seems to work ok on this site:

Lets hope it's better value than the Chelsea game was.

Do you have a Now TV box? If so is it white? If it is then it's not available...otherwise you should be able to....go to the NowTV website and search it....

Is it still priced at 15 quid a match?

Yes, but this could be the last time with the pressure from supporters (which includes Burnley FC Supporters Groups) forcing the Premier League clubs into a rethink. No definite decision but it does look likely that from the next game (Palace) through to 2021 at least the games will be shown via the Sky/BT/Prime platforms so you will be able to see the games for no extra charge if you have Sky Sports/BT Sport/Prime, whichever each game is shown on.

Great, thanks for that! I've managed to purchase through that link.

First game I've watched on the new PPV scheme (and I'm guessing last given the recent news). As you say, let's hope it's better than the previous offering!

Yes, have a Now TV box, but it's not white. Managed to purchase via the link GDK sent, and seems to have registered my payment on the NowTV box.

Fingers crossed for at least a point!

Sean Dyche and his team are definitely doing their part in making a case for reducing the cost of PPV. After West Brom and Brighton the £15 looks overpriced if you got our full season worth of matches thrown in
