Game of Thrones – how to watch it all and mark the 10th anniversary

After eight explosive years and 73 episodes, fans of Game of Thrones finally waved goodbye to the fantasy saga in 2019.

The series, based on George RR Martin's novels, went out with a bang, Arya doing THAT THING, Daenerys doing ANOTHER THING, and plenty of deaths, obviously.

You might still be recovering from all of the drama and have no desire to dive back in just yet. But if the show's 10th anniversary has put you in the mood for some medieval misbehaviour – or perhaps you missed out the first time around – here's how you can watch all eight seasons.

Game of Thrones – how to watch in the UK

You have a number of options. Game of Thrones seasons 1-8 are available via Sky on demand, or, if you fancy something cheaper and a little more flexible, then they're also available on NOW, or to buy and keep via Amazon.

Sky currently has seasons 1-8 available on demand via its Box Sets service, plus a selection of featurettes about the show. It has a variety of packages, starting at £25 per month for 18 months, plus setup fees, and you can find out more here.

Meanwhile, NOW has seasons 1-8 available to stream until July 17, 2021, according to its website.

New customers can take advantage of a 7-day free trial of NOW's Entertainment membership – otherwise, it's £9.99 per month for the best of HBO such as Thrones and acclaimed Sky Originals like Gangs of London and Chernobyl.

If you want to download and keep episodes, Amazon has this option, with prices varying per season and between HD and SD quality. There are also a variety of full-series boxsets available, including a 4K Ultra HD version for £159.99.

The season 1-8 boxset prices for DVD and Blu-ray vary, but you can usually find them for between £60 (if there's a decent offer on) and £100.

Game of Thrones – how to watch in the US

Alternatively, if you're an Ice and Fire obsessive based in the US but don't already have HBO, you now have the option of watching Game of Thrones seasons 1-8 on streaming service HBO Max, which costs $14.99 per month (existing HBO customers can add it for free). Note that HBO Max is not available in the UK.

As well as being able to get stuck into a Thrones rewatch, you can also catch up on other HBO originals like The Flight Attendant, and it's also the home of some co-productions in the US such as Russell T Davies' acclaimed drama It's a Sin.

You'll also be able to take advantage of day-and-date movie premieres from Warner Bros, including awards season contenders like Judas and the Black Messiah, and superhero movies such as The Suicide Squad.

Hulu also offers a free week of HBO Max streaming to new subscribers. Again, though, you'd be paying $14.99 after that seven-day period. Amazon customers in the US can also sign up for HBO Max that way – and if you prefer, you can download and keep episodes or individual seasons instead.

So fans in both 'kingdoms' are officially sorted: now kick back, relax and enjoy everything Thrones has to offer.

Kate (they/she) is a freelance writer, editor, digital editorial trainer and data technician who first joined Digital Spy as an overnight freelance sub-editor in January 2011, after studying a postgraduate diploma in journalism at Salford University while working part-time as a social researcher.
In July 2013, Kate joined the DS staff team as chief sub-editor and following six years as the site's managing editor, their role expanded to incorporate Hearst UK's entertainment portfolio (including Digital Spy and its sibling titles Best and Inside Soap) between late 2024 and early 2026.
  Kate has worked as a writer and editor since 2006, with bylines syndicated across the Hearst network and at organisations including Metro. They started their career as a TV production runner for the BBC and contributed to various music websites, blogs and zines while based in Manchester.
  During her time at DS, Kate has previously been a freelance sub-editor and chief sub-editor.
  Kate's team at Digital Spy were proudly nominated in the Best Subbing/Production Team category at the BSME Talent Awards 2022. Over the years, she has contributed to coverage of many, many Prime Days and Black Friday/Cyber Monday, and was part of the team that launched the DS weekly TV newsletter in November 2019 – followed by the Top of the Shops e-commerce newsletter in May 2024.
   Kate's screen passions include Taskmaster (their biggest career regret remains turning down the opportunity to visit the house), nature documentaries, and live sport (up there with the greatest of all soap operas although if asked to choose, it's Corrie… every time).
   Her highlights while working at DS have included interviewing Stevie Nicks on the red carpet for her documentary In Your Dreams, sitting at a press roundtable with Formula 1 commentary icon Murray Walker, watching a life-sized LEGO car being driven around Silverstone, writing an album-by-album retrospective of Lady Gaga's genre-defying career for Living Legends, and raising awareness of receiving and understanding a late-in-life ADHD diagnosis through the lens of Bianca and Freddie's EastEnders storyline.
 Upon remembering to log off the internet, Kate enjoys live theatre, dance and comedy, appreciating nature, baking (badly), tending a recently-rented allotment (equally badly) and pampering one very spoiled rescue cat named Jolene.
