Is there a free trial?

Yes — 24 hours, with no card details and no obligation. You get the full service rather than a cut-down demo, so you can test the channels and sport you actually care about before paying anything.

What devices does it work on?

Amazon Firestick and Fire TV, Samsung and LG Smart TVs, Android boxes, Android phones and tablets, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, MAG and Formuler boxes, and Windows or Mac computers. No new hardware is required.

How fast does my broadband need to be?

About 15 Mbps for HD, 25 Mbps for Full HD and 35 Mbps or more for 4K. A wired ethernet connection is noticeably more reliable than Wi-Fi for live sport.

No. Plans simply expire at the end of their term — there is no minimum term, no notice period and no auto-renewal, so there is nothing to cancel.

PayPal, Visa or Mastercard, Revolut, UK bank transfer or crypto. There is no checkout on the website — you confirm the plan on WhatsApp and we send a payment link for your chosen method.
