How to Get NOW (Sky) for Free & Cheap in 2026

AI poweredThe short version

You can save 30% on a NOW subscription by signing up for a 6-month contract.
To get NOW without spending any of your own money, you can first use the free trial, and then gift cards from Freecash to pay.

NOW (called WOW in some regions) is Sky's subscription service. Packages start at £9.99/month for Entertainment or Cinema, and £32/month for Sport.

There are a few ways to reduce that cost, and one way to watch for free.

Use the Free Trial to Watch NOW for Seven Days

The free trial lasts seven days. Use it first before exploring the longer-term options below.

A one-week trial is short compared to competitors (some apps pay you just for signing up), but it covers a full week of content at no cost.

Fund a NOW Subscription Through Freecash

Freecash is a platform where you can earn money by testing mobile games, completing surveys, and signing up for apps. Earnings can be withdrawn via bank transfer, PayPal, or gift cards.

Getting started takes a few minutes:

Sign in to Freecash with Google or Facebook.
Pick a task. For game offers, install the game through the Freecash platform.
Complete tasks to build up your balance. Your first cashout is available from $20.
Withdraw and use the funds toward a NOW subscription.

How much you earn depends on the tasks you complete.

Save 30% by Committing to a 6-Month Contract

Subscribing for six months instead of month-to-month cuts 30% off Entertainment and Cinema packages, bringing either down to £6.99/month. Before committing, check the full NOW movie and TV catalogue to confirm the library suits six months of viewing.

The selection is narrower than Netflix, so it's worth checking before locking in. NOW Sport only qualifies for an 8% saving on the six-month deal.
