NOW TV is really you only option. You can watch the red button interactive services but only on a 31 day contract and not a one day pass.

Heres the info form the NOW TV website:

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
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
Supported LG or Samsung Smart TV

When a Bonus Stream is available, you'll find the option at the bottom of the Sports page in the NOW app. Don't worry if you can't see any Bonus Streams right now – they'll appear automatically by the time the event starts.

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.

I am subscribed to NOW TV sports, monthly sunscription. I have an LG smart TV and an Amazon Firestick 4k. A couple of weeks ago i tried to get Bonus streams for EFL matches. I followed instructions to look for 'bonus stream' at the bottom of the sports page, but without success. Can anyone advise if there is something that I need to do to get the 'bonus streams' to appear. I spent some considerable time during the transmission time . According to the NOW TV information I understand I should be able to get it by the TV smart and the firestick.

@tightlines1 From reading previous post I thought it would end up at the bottom of the TV guide of sports channels but it doesn't. I clicked on the sport menu and then scrolled down to the football icon button. A row after the live games were the boost red button games
