Theoretically, Friday’s game is on the Sky red button and Now TV bonus streams. But I haven’t managed to access a single bonus stream on Now TV this season even though I have a Samsung TV which should be compatible. Anyone know if the game will be available this way?

Don't know how you watch NowTV but last time I looked at this I think I learned that red button games weren't available with a NowTV day ticket.
Yes that’s right but I’ve got a full monthly sports pass (not mobile) which should work (allegedly) but still can’t access any.
I have done previously with a monthly pass, but it wasn't easy. From memory, you have to keep scrolling down all the sport for quite a while before you find the bonus streams (or maybe scrolling right, can't remember)
With NOW TV you need to access the home page and scroll all the way down to the bottom where all red button matches are located. The stream starts 5 minutes before kick off
Now showing as available to buy, including for UK viewers. £10

I have a NOW TV annual subscription and then use it either on the Now TV app on my Sony TV, or on my laptop. I haven't seen these 'bonus streams / red button games' before. Seeing the comments above, I then just looked this up .... https://help.nowtv.com/article/now-features
So, it's not so straightforward. And I don't understand why!! So, if you've got the devices listed, you can get those 'bonus streams'. I don't understand why it's not available on all devices that have the app, including a laptop?!?! Odd?
Can I watch Bonus Streams and use other Red Button or interactive services?
Got a Sports Membership, and one of the devices listed below? You can access extra channels on selected sports events using Bonus Streams, including additional EFL matches and F1 Race Control.
- Amazon Fire TV Edition – all supported models
- LG and Samsung Smart TVs – all supported models
- Amazon Fire TV – 2nd gen (2015), 3rd gen (2017)
- Amazon Fire TV Stick – 2nd & 3rd gen, 4K, Lite & Basic Edition
- Apple TV – 4th gen or later
- NOW Smart Stick or Box
- Roku boxes and streaming players
- YouView box
- PS4, PS5
- Xbox One, Xbox Series X & S
Keep in mindYou can't watch Bonus Streams with a Sports Day or Mobile Membership. NOW Boost features, including full HD and 50 frames per second, aren't available on Bonus Streams.
Other interactive services
If you've got a NOW Smart Box with Freeview, you can use Red Button and interactive services on live BBC channels. Just hit the red button on your NOW remote to get started. (If your NOW remote doesn’t have a red button, just use the star (*) button to access interactive services through your NOW Smart Box instead.)
We’ve got two Samsung TVs, one Amazon fire TV, plus another with a Now box (don’t ask - professional reasons). Can’t get them on any of them anymore!
Can you remember when it shows up on the page - is that not until the day of the game?
I got it 15 minutes before kick off last time but I've got a very fast TV!

No 'bonus stream' option on Now TV using a laptop / web. Seems crackers to me. It's like they don't want you to watch it if they can't make them available for web access.
