SPOTV NOW Introduces New Premium Plan with TV Functionality

• SPOTV JAPAN has launched a new premium plan with TV compatibility, multi-view, and ad-free features.
• The premium plan includes TV compatibility, allowing users to watch on a large screen TV.
• Users can watch up to four live broadcasts simultaneously with the multi-view feature.

SPOTV JAPAN, operated by SPOTV JAPAN Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo), has launched a new premium plan with TV compatibility, multi-view, and ad-free features starting from January 20, 2024.

A free trial of the premium plan is currently available until January 31.

The new features of the premium plan include TV compatibility, allowing users to enjoy SPOTV NOW on a large screen TV. Supported TV devices include Android TV-based smart TVs, Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, and Google Chromecast.

The TV app is currently in beta version and will be expanded with more features in the future. Users can simultaneously watch on one smartphone/tablet/PC and one TV device.

The multi-view feature allows users to watch up to four live broadcasts simultaneously on one screen, with the addition of picture-in-picture functionality.

Users can also individually control the audio settings. This feature is available for live broadcasts and PC only.

The ad-free feature eliminates ads that appear during video playback and app startup.

However, some content may still include ads that are integrated into videos produced by leagues and local broadcasters.

The premium plan was launched on January 20, 2024, with two pricing options: the Basic Monthly Plan for 2,000 yen per month (including tax) and the Premium Monthly Plan for 3,000 yen per month (including tax). The previous monthly payment option will no longer be available for new contracts after January 20, 2024.

For annual contracts, the previous Annual Pass for 18,000 yen (including tax) will be discontinued, and the new Premium Annual Plan for 27,000 yen (including tax) will be introduced. The Basic Plan is not available for annual contracts.

Accepted payment methods include credit card payment (web browser), Google Play billing (Android), Apple ID billing (iOS), Amazon in-app billing (Amazon Fire TV Stick), and carrier payment (web browser) such as d payment (docomo payment), au easy payment, and SoftBank collective payment.

Monthly billing is automatically renewed every month, while annual passes/plans are valid for one year from the purchase date and do not renew automatically.

After the trial campaign period, the premium features will no longer be available, and the previous subscription plan will continue. Users who wish to continue using the premium features after the trial campaign period should upgrade to the premium plan.

For more information on how to change your subscription plan and other details, please refer to the SPOTV NOW announcements and the FAQ section on the website.

For the upcoming broadcast schedule, SPOTV NOW will be the only platform to watch all Premier League matches. The schedule includes the MLB Spring Training starting in mid-February.

During the trial campaign period, the premium plan can be experienced without additional charges until January 31.
