IPTV vs NOW TV — Which Is Better?

Vivimate·April 2026

Verdict: IPTV delivers more content at a lower price — without the pass system.

NOW TV splits its offering across separate Entertainment, Cinema, and Sports passes. IPTV bundles everything into one flat monthly fee — 50,000+ channels, 99,000+ on-demand titles, and all major sports — for less than a single NOW TV Sports Pass.

The NOW TV Sports Pass Problem

At $34.99/month, the NOW TV Sports Pass costs more than twice a full Vivimate IPTV subscription — and it only covers Sky Sports. Vivimate IPTV includes all Sky Sports channels plus TNT Sports, international leagues, 500+ global channels, and 99,000+ on-demand titles, all for $14.99/month.

For anyone who watches sport regularly, the math is impossible to argue with. See also: How to watch Premier League on IPTV.

When NOW TV Still Makes Sense

  • One-off sporting events — day passes or weekend passes for a single match or tournament make sense financially.
  • Gifting — NOW TV gift cards are easy to buy and give as presents for sports fans.

For anyone streaming regularly — especially live sport — IPTV is the more cost-effective solution at every comparison point.
