The release date for Game of Thrones Season 7 has been confirmed! Here’s what you need to know if you want to watch GoT, plus watch the Season 7 announcement trailer. See: Best media streamers 2015.
Season 7 of GoT will be the penultimate series, although rumour has it that HBO is in talks with author George RR Martin about a potential spin-off series.
When is the Game of Thrones Season 7 release date?
While Season 6 aired on 25 April 2016 in the UK, Season 7 is coming a little later in 2017. We’ll see the first episode of season 7 broadcast on Monday 17 July 2017. In the US it will air on Sunday 16 July 2017.
Although there’s little to go on at the moment (unless you want some really filthy spoilers, which you won’t read on this site because we all love GoT far too much to ruin the experience) you can view the official teaser trailer at the top of this page.

How to watch Game of Thrones Season 7 online
When it does eventually arrive, Game of Thrones will be shown exclusively on Sky Atlantic in the UK, so if you’re a Sky customer with the right package then simply tune in via your Sky Box. If you want to watch online with an internet connection then you can do so with Sky Go or other methods.
Sky Go
Sky Go is available through web browsers and a wide range of devices including games consoles, smartphones and tablets. You simply download the app if necessary and log in with your Sky ID and password. Note that on consoles you may need an extra subscription such as Xbox Live Gold.
We imagine Game of Thrones Season 7 will be available on demand at 10pm each week following the broadcast of each new episode, following the schedule of Season 6.
Now TV
If you’re not a Sky customer then don’t worry as there is still an easy way to watch Game of Thrones Season 7 online. Sky Atlantic (and various other channels) is available through Sky Now TV as part of the Entertainment package which costs £6.99 per month.
You don’t have to sign up for a year or anything so you can cancel the subscription after Game of Thrones finishes if you want. If you’re a new customer you can do a 14-day free trial which will cover a couple of episodes.
Like Sky Go, Now TV is available on a wide range of devices including Chromecast, Roku, YouView, Xbox One, PS4, PC, Mac, Android and iOS. Sky also has the Now TV Box which you can buy for just £14.99.

HBO Now
Since Game of Thrones is an HBO TV show you can also use the broadcaster’s streaming service, HBO Now, to watch Game of Thrones Series 7 when it arrives. However, it’s only available across the pond so you’ll need to use a VPN in order to gain access.
