You’ll be pleased — and possibly a bit shocked — to learn that Viaplay starts from under a fiver a month. With streaming services such as Amazon Prime Video starting at £8.99 per month, Netflix at £4.99 per month, and Disney Plus at £4.99 per month, Viaplay’s £3.99 starting point is the cheapest out of the lot.
Viaplay has a few different membership options. The first is their Film and Series package for £3.99 which includes movies and TV shows, plus Viaplay Originals and Nordic noir thrillers.
Viaplay’s second package is the Total Monthly which is Viaplay’s premium membership at £14.99. This includes all the same content as the series and film package but with the added bonus of live sports.
You can also get Viaplay Sports on its own through Amazon Prime Video for an extra £14.99 a month. Virgin Media also offer Viaplay Sports through their sports package option.
The final option is the Viaplay Total Annual package. You buy 12 months upfront and save 20 per cent in total as each month works out at £9.99. The Annual package contains everything that Viaplay Total Monthly does (films, series and sports).
