What Is Nova (and Nova Sports)?
Nova is Greece's largest pay-TV operator, owned by United Group (a portfolio company of BC Partners). With roughly 432,000 subscribers, it is the dominant subscription platform in the country. Nova delivers its content through EON TV, which the company describes as "the leading viewing platform in Southeast Europe."
The Nova Sports lineup consists of 14 dedicated Novasports channels, 4 Novacinema movie channels, and 8 children's channels. The full EON+ package gives access to over 6,000 on-demand movies and TV episodes alongside live channels.
Premier League Exclusive Until 2031
The single biggest reason viewers subscribe to Nova Sports is the English Premier League. Nova holds exclusive broadcasting rights for the Premier League in Greece, extended through the 2030-31 season — covering six full seasons. No other Greek platform can legally show these matches.
Beyond the Premier League, Nova Sports broadcasts EuroLeague basketball, Spanish LaLiga, German Bundesliga, the Dutch Eredivisie, and all four tennis Grand Slams (Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, US Open). It also carries Greek national team matches in both football and basketball.
Greek Super League Teams on Nova
Greek Super League broadcasting rights are split between Nova and Cosmote TV. The teams whose home matches are broadcast on Nova Sports include PAOK, Aris Thessaloniki, Asteras Tripolis, Atromitos, Panserraikos, and Levadiakos. If you follow any of these clubs, Nova is where you find their games.
The Nova + Cosmote Deal (July 2024)
In July 2024, Nova and Cosmote struck a cross-carriage agreement. For existing Nova subscribers, adding all Cosmote Sport channels became available for as low as 1 euro per month. This was a landmark deal because historically Greek sports fans had to maintain two separate subscriptions to watch all Super League matches and European competitions.
With this deal, a single Nova subscription can now cover virtually all professional sports content available in Greece — Premier League, Champions League, Super League (both Nova and Cosmote teams), EuroLeague, and more.

Why People Watch Nova Sports via IPTV
Nova is geo-restricted outside Greece. The Nova Go app allows streaming within Greece and in some EU countries under portability rules, but it is not available in Cyprus, the UK, Australia, the US, Canada, or most other countries where the Greek diaspora lives. This is the core problem IPTV solves.
Geo-Restrictions
Nova Go is locked to Greece (plus limited EU portability). If you live in Cyprus, the UK, Germany, Australia, or the US, you simply cannot subscribe to Nova officially. IPTV delivers the same channels without geographic limits.
Cost Savings
An EON+ standalone plan costs 28 euros per month for just Nova channels. Combined fiber bundles start from 47 euros per month. An IPTV subscription that includes Nova, Cosmote, and thousands of other channels typically costs a fraction of this.
Nova + Cosmote Together
Even with the July 2024 cross-carriage deal, getting both platforms officially still requires a base Nova subscription plus add-on fees, contracts, and a Greek address. IPTV bundles both providers into a single subscription with no extra steps.
No Contracts
Nova official plans often require 12 to 24 month commitments with early termination fees. IPTV services are typically month-to-month — subscribe when the season starts, cancel when it ends.

Nova's full platform includes 14 Novasports channels, 4 Novacinema channels, and 8 kids channels. Here is what's on the sports side:
