How to watch Game of Thrones online: HBO Go vs. HBO NOW

Trying to figure out the best way to watch Game of Thrones online? Wondering what is the difference between HBO GO and HBO Now?

The final season of Game of Thrones is here and watching the series live is a necessity.

But what is the best way to watch the series live and online? Should you use HBO Go or HBO NOW?

HBO Go is what current HBO television subscribers have access to that allows them to watch HBO online. If you watch HBO on your TV through the HBO subscription service and not using the internet, then HBO Go is accessible to you now. You can go there by following this link.

If you are only wanting to watch HBO online, then you want to go with HBO NOW.

HBO NOW allows you to watch all current and former HBO series, including live Game of Thrones episodes, via your phone, tablet, smart TV, computer or other devices that offer the HBO NOW website or app.

This option is best if you do not want to have HBO on your television, and instead want to stream it. You can find HBO NOW, here.

Personally, I would suggest HBO NOW if the only reason you want to subscribe to HBO is Game of Thrones. This allows you to watch Game of Thrones live on a computer, tablet, phone or smart TV (as well as any number of other HBO series) without purchasing a television subscription.

However, you may find yourself wishing you could watch HBO live all the time on your television, and you may cancel your HBO NOW subscription and purchase a typical HBO subscription, giving you access to HBO Go.
