It's now possible to watch Sky Sports online with NOW TV, a new internet streaming service that offers pay-as-you-go access to anyone with an internet-connected device.

NOW TV already gives users instant access to Sky Movies with no need for a contract, or even a monthly subscription like rival services Netflix and LOVEFiLM.

For a £9.99 one-off payment, customers get access to all six Sky Sports channels for 24 hours on their PC, laptop, smartphone, tablet or Xbox 360.

The service is aimed at people who just want to watch specific matches, races or events, without the need for a contract or Sky TV subscription.

Barney Francis, managing director of Sky Sports, said: "Sky Sports has never offered a greater choice of high-quality live sport and we've got our biggest ever summer ahead.

"Whether it's the Ashes, the Lions, F1 or the finale of the football season, there's something for all sports fans on Sky."

Simon Creasey, director of NOW TV, added: "The launch of Sky Sports on NOW TV is a landmark moment for sports fans. It's perfect for those who want the flexibility to dip in and out."

Events that will be available to watch on Sky Sports with NOW TV in 2013 include:

• Live matches from the Barclays Premier League and UEFA Champions League


• All 19 Grands Prix from the Formula One season, including qualifying and practice sessions


• Exclusive coverage of the British and Irish Lions 2013 tour of Australia


• All 10 Ashes test matches from home and away - as well as all one-day internationals and Twenty20 internationals


• Three of golf's four majors, including The Masters
