House of the Dragon: how to watch HBO hit on NOW TV in the UK - and monthly cost

• House of the Dragon is exclusive to Sky Atlantic and NOW TV  in the UK. 
• The second season of the Game of Thrones spin-off is coming to a dramatic conclusion. 
• NOW has special offers available on its entertainment packages right now. 

The explosive second season of House of the Dragon has come to and end as the Targaryen civil war reaches a boiling point. For UK audiences, the season finale of the Game of Thrones spin-off airs tonight and that means if you’ve been waiting to binge it all in one go, it is finally time to catch up.

Sky subscribers are able to watch the show live on Sky Atlantic tonight (5 August) and on catch-up, whether you are Team Green or Team Black. But if you don’t have a Sky box, you might be wondering how you can legally watch the hit HBO drama. 

Thankfully, if you are a Virgin subscriber or Freeview watcher, you can stream House of the Dragon on NOW TV - and don’t have to miss out on the water cooler chats at work after every dramatic twist and turn. And even better you won’t have to take out a loan from the Iron Bank to fund it.
