I am a big fan of football and have a NOW TV Sports subscription. Will I be able to use this to watch the Euro 2016? Or will some other TV channel broadcast from the European Championship in 2016?
Thank you for the question. Unfortunately SKY TV does not have the rights to broadcast from the Euro 2016, because it seems like a goal that more public TV channels should carry the rights to big tournaments like this one. That is why the Euro 2016 matches will not be broadcasted by SKY in the UK, but instead BBC and ITV will show the different Euro 2016 next summer.
But, if you are living in the UK that means that you can still easily watch the matches, both on your TV and online, without paying anything for this. If you like outside the UK then you can easily watch the action online still, you will only need to get yourself an English IP address, and then you can start watching. So, the principle for watching the Euro 2016 on BBC and on ITV from outside the UK is exactly the same principle that is being used when you watch NOW TV from abroad.
For more information about who will broadcast from the Euro 2016 read the IP Guide article, and if you want to know more about watching Euro 2016 from abroad, Euro2016.one is the number one source for such information.
So, you may not be able to watch the matches live from the European Championship in 2016, but you can still use your Sky Sports subscription, that is NOW TV Sports subscription, to watch news reports from the Euro 2016, to see highlights from the events and of course to watch lots of other football matches, Premier League matches and highlights from other leagues in Europe and around the world!
