Now TV, the pay-TV subsidiary of the Hong Kong telecommunications group PCCW, has extended its rights to broadcast the Premier League in Hong Kong, for the 2019-2022 cycle, on 04/01/2019. Now TV will broadcast all 380 games per season of the English league exclusively.

China's Internet and mobile streaming platform LeTV had acquired the broadcasting rights to the Premier League in Hong Kong for the 2016-2019 cycle on 22/09/2015 and sub-licensed them to Now TV in the process. The Premier League was broadcast by both entities until the closure of LeTV during the 2017-18 season.

In Hong Kong, Now TV co-broadcasts the Champions League, the Europa League (2018-2021 cycle), and LaLiga Santander (2018-2023 cycle) with beIN Sports, and distributes the channels of the Qatari pay-TV group, which also holds the broadcasting rights to the Serie A TIM (until 2020-21) and Ligue 1 Conforama (until 2023-24). Fox Sports (pay-TV), a broadcaster of the Bundesliga, is also distributed by Now TV.
