How to watch pay per view events on Virgin Media
Watch premium live sport and other events for a one-off fee on your Virgin Media TV.
What is pay per view?
Premium live sport and other events you can watch for a one-off fee on your Virgin Media TV. Virgin Media brings you the best in pay per view boxing, mixed martial arts, wrestling events and more.
How does pay per view work?
If your account is up to date, you can order most pay per view events up to 5 days before they broadcast. Buy your chosen Live Event from your Virgin TV account and get ready to watch it live, or on repeat the following working day.
If you’ve already missed the event, not to worry, as you can still order the repeat and watch it there and then, from the comfort of your own sofa.
Please be sure to check any scheduling details at the point of purchase and note that pay per view events cannot be recorded on your Virgin TV box.

How to watch a pay per view event on another Virgin Media set-top-box?
If you have a TiVo®, Virgin TV V6 powered by TiVo® or Virgin TV 360 set-top-box you can watch your pay per view event on another Virgin Media set-top-box, rather than the one you purchased it on, provided it is the same set-top-box type associated to the account.
Pay per view events can be viewed on any second TiVo® or V6 set-top-box associated to the account.
Pay per view events can be viewed on any second Virgin TV 360 set-top-box associated to the account.
If you’re interested in having more than one Virgin Media TV box, see Set up multi-room (it’s easier than you’d think).
