My device is not supported for the PPV event. What can I do?

If your preferred device does not appear in our supported device list, you can try the following options: 

Option 1: AirPlay 2 using Apple devices

Some TVs and streaming devices are released with AirPlay 2 enabled. Please check here to see if your device is listed as AirPlay 2-enabled.

If you have confirmed that your device is AirPlay 2-enabled and:

  • You have a supported iPhone or iPad - you can AirPlay the PPV stream using the SHOWTIME app.
