Both the blue SuperMax and blue Sport subscriptions are cheaper if you sign up for a full year.

Renting and buying films and sports events

blue+ offers the option of renting or buying films. This is often worthwhile if you only want to watch a specific film.

9. Summary

With blue+, Swisscom offers a comprehensive selection of films, series, TV shows and more. By dividing them into packages with different themes, customers can book only what they are interested in. However, unlike other streaming providers, the packages are expensive and offer less variety.

If you are interested in sports, it is worth comparing the service with Sky Sport and MySports. The sports and leagues on offer vary. If you want to watch all the games of the Super League, blue Sport should be the right choice.
