What are my viewing options to watch Euro 2021 competition?

All I can find is that Sky TV appear to have the NZ contract. I do not currently have Sky TV and I don't think its really worth getting Sky connected for just one month. I have no desire to use/watch any other Sky TV services. I'm not really up to speed with Sky options regarding delivery of services eg I presume you still need a decoder box etc or are there streaming options I can connect to via a laptop etc?

At present we use a number of streaming services & I get my football fix by subscribing directly to the club I support (LFC) - all of which we are happy with.

Sky Fees p/m - Starter package $26, Sport $32 & MySky rental $15. In addition I presume there would be connection/disconnection & courier fees - all of which would make this a very expensive option.

If someone is aware of another option I'd be keen to know. My preference would be an on-demand option so that I can watch when I can.

Does anyone know whether Spark Sports would be getting access in addition to Sky?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Why dont you just go with Sky sport now, Sky's streaming service at $39.90 a month

https://www.skysportnow.co.nz

Common sense is not as common as you think.

Thanks, that looks quite promising & probably my only option. Hopefully they offer plenty of replay/on demand options.

As you could probably tell by now I have been out of the Sky eco system for awhile now and to be honest would love to never go back. We (like so many others) experienced absolutely shocking service and for quite some time were locked into their world due to both financial investment (purchased a mysky machine) and with having a child who was loving their disney options at the time. But we eventually left which was definitely the right choice.

It was probably only a matter of time before they purchased the rights to something important to me that I couldn't access somewhere else.

Cheers.

knowing Sky they will make 1 or 2 sport channels Euro 21 and only show live games and repeats, just make sure any pop up sport channels are included in the package.

All the games will be on Sky Sport 7 and one of the main sky sport channels for the last group stage games (when games are played at the same time) and Prime are showing some games live as well. Sky Sport Now will have on demand games plus if you have Sky Sport Now you can also login to BEIN Sports Connect OD

Thanks good to know. Especially regarding Prime as I will look to record these & watch in my own time. I doubt I will watch any games live and so OD and the days hilights will be what I'm looking for.

Coming to this late but all games are available on the Bein Connect app which you can login to with a Sky login if you're a Sky Sports subscriber. Know that's not much use to you but you may know someone who might let you use their login.

Alternatively, in the UK the games are being split between BBC and ITV and it looks like all games are available on demand on either BBC iplayer or ITV Hub so that could be a free option if you know how to access them from here.

Apple TV

Bein Connect app looks like my best option (via Skysports now). OD games plus their "minis" seems to be the way to go.

Thanks for everyones help.
