Those from the UK have one and the same question — Where can I watch Game of Thrones in the UK? Most use various streaming websites but to be honest, they have tons of ads, trackers and pop-ups and are generally not secure. Not to mention, they share the content illegally and the video quality leaves a lot to be desired. The other kind use torrents to download the episodes but this method is no better either, as you can download viruses, malware and other kinds of nasties to your device. And once again — the content is illegal, even more so, because you are downloading copyrighted material to your device.

However, there are a few ways you can watch Game of Thrones legally and support it because there are ways for you to do so, even if you’re not from the US. Season 8 is the last Game of Thrones season, so show your dedication and stream it legally, as there are a couple of advantages to that. One, you will get the best video quality there is (HD, Ultra HD, etc.) of the show. Two, you will improve its ratings. Three, you will just enjoy it more, believe me. So read on to find out how you can watch Game of Thrones in the UK without much nuisance.

The Game of Thrones start time and the release date in the UK will be 15th of April,as the show will premiere on 14th of April in the US.

Sky Atlantic

Sky Atlantic is an entertainment TV channel that officially broadcast Game of Thrones and will be broadcasting season 8 too. Game of Thrones on Sky is the easiest to access to the UK residents, as it’s mostly a UK TV pack. The Ultimate on Demand package includes all Sky channel box sets, and the Sky Atlantic channel which is the official UK Game of Thrones broadcaster. However, to grab the Ultimate on Demand pack, you need to have a Sky Q Entertainment subscription, which is £22 per month, and pay an additional £12 per month for the Ultimate pack. This does end up being a pricey option though.

How to watch Game of Thrones in the UK without Sky? There are a few more options for you to choose from.

Now TV

Another platform that the UK offers to its residents is Now TV. It is an entertainment channel that offers an Entertainment pass for your box sets. Now TV includes Sky Atlantic channel, that has Game of Thrones in its show selection. This platform also offers a variety of other channels. The Entertainment pass costs £7.99 per month.

HBO Now

There are dozens of ways to watch Game of Thrones legally, for example — Hulu and Amazon Prime have HBO add-ons, so anyone who already uses these streaming services can legally watch Game of Thrones season 8. Of course, the best way is HBO Now, the official Game of Thrones broadcaster. This on-demand streaming service costs $14.99 per month. The sad part is, that HBO Now is only available to those who live in the US, therefore cutting of a very big part of the GoT fandom and making it inaccessible to those outside the US. But there is an easy workaround for this — get a VPN service.

A VPN service is a software that virtually changes your IP address. It’s mostly used for cyber security, as it also encrypts all your Internet traffic, but streaming enthusiasts also use VPNs to bypass geo-restrictions such as these. Cheap or free ones just won’t do, as you need a premium VPN to unblock HBO (and only a handful of them do). I would personally recommend these 3, as they have no data or bandwidth limits which is a great thing when streaming:

NordVPN ($2.99 per month, 75% discount). NordVPN has thousands of servers in the US and more than 5000+ overall, not to mention that it easily unblocks HBO.

($2.99 per month, 75% discount). NordVPN has thousands of servers in the US and more than 5000+ overall, not to mention that it easily unblocks HBO. ExpressVPN ($6.67 per month, 49% discount). This provider also has a lot of US servers and you can access HBO with it.

($6.67 per month, 49% discount). This provider also has a lot of US servers and you can access HBO with it. Surfshark ($1.99 per month, 83% discount). Has a moderate amount of servers and lets you stream HBO and is also incredibly fast.

Yes, there are other ways to watch the epic TV show online. Some of them are cheap, some of them are not. The cheapest way to watch Game of Thrones? Stream Game of Thrones or watch it online via numerous streaming websites like Putlocker, 123movies and similar. Yes, these are free, but are they secure? No. Most of them have malicious trackers, annoying ads and pop-ups. And let’s be honest here — would you want ads and crappy video quality ruin the last season of this amazing show? Do you want to buffer your way through the video and end the show on a sour note? I hope not. If you want to support the show and watch the season 8 of it like a champ, do so via the official broadcasters.
