The question Nottingham households ask is a simple one. Will it hold up when the match is on? No website can answer that, so we hand you a full day on your own screen, no card taken, nothing to cancel afterwards, and Nottingham Forest and Notts County in the Premier League and the EFL, plus the Champions League and the rest of the European nights to test it against.
Local viewing guide
Nottingham has two clubs separated by the width of the Trent, with Nottingham Forest at the City Ground and Notts County, one of the oldest clubs in the world, at Meadow Lane. You can see one ground from the other. Forest's European history still shapes how the city sees itself. The East Midlands derby with Derby County carries genuine heat. Nottingham is also a strong cricket city, with Trent Bridge hosting Test and international cricket a short walk from both grounds. That concentration of football and international cricket in one small area is unusual, and it is the reason households here are more likely than most to need coverage across two quite different sports calendars.
Nottingham has good coverage across the city and out through West Bridgford, Beeston, Arnold and Hucknall. The city has two large universities and one of the higher student concentrations in England, with the short-lease churn that implies, alongside substantial terraced stock in the inner areas where installation is awkward. What makes Nottingham distinctive is the concentration of football and international cricket within a very short radius, with Trent Bridge a short walk from both grounds. The valuable 24 hours here is spent checking whether a service handles both calendars, because a package built for football weekends frequently leaves the cricket out entirely.
The honest test in Nottingham is not whether the menus look tidy. It is whether Nottingham Forest and Notts County in the Premier League and the EFL come through cleanly at kick-off. Find those channels on your first evening and give them a proper look. It will never be the City Ground on the banks of the Trent, though on a good line it comes closer than you would think.
Connection check
About the line in Nottingham: strong fibre coverage across the city. Ten Mbps or so covers HD and 25 Mbps covers 4K. Sky Sports and TNT Sports. Test it at nine on a weeknight rather than at noon, since the evening is when a stream has to prove itself.
Setup
If you are already with Sky or Virgin Media in Nottingham, do not cancel a thing yet. Run the trial alongside what you have, compare the two on the same match, and only decide once you have watched Nottingham Forest on both. That is precisely why we do not take a card.
Send a WhatsApp with your name and number. No card details are asked for.
We reply with your login, usually inside a few minutes.
Someone talks you through the setup on whatever device is already in the room.
You get 24 hours to judge it. Nothing auto-renews, because we hold no card.
No. The 24-hour trial never asks for card details. You send your name and WhatsApp number, we send a login back, and you watch. Decide against it and nothing happens, because there is nothing on file to charge.
No. It runs over your existing broadband, so there is no dish, no aerial and nobody calling to the house in Nottingham. If you have a smart telly, a Firestick or an Android box, you already have everything you need.
The library includes the Premier League and the EFL coverage, so if a Nottingham Forest game falls inside your 24 hours you can check it on your own telly. Rights and fixtures move around between seasons, so testing it on a real match night is the only honest way to know.
About 10 Mbps for HD and 25 Mbps for 4K. Strong fibre coverage across the city. Test during the evening peak rather than the middle of the day, because that is when the line is under load.
Nothing automatic. There is no card on file, so nothing renews and nothing is charged. If you want to carry on, The Taster is £85 once for 10 months and The Owner is £255 once for lifetime access on one device, both with a 90-day money-back promise.
The same free trial applies wherever you are. If one of these is closer, start there.
