    Same as previous seasons. Saturday 3pm and any games on Sky not available 'in this country'. Midweek and bank holiday matches available for £10 per match.

    Great thanks, too old for away matches so it's nice to see the odd away game on lap top

    Going to be an avalanche of games from Sky in the 24/25 season. Every midweek game and international weekend games available to watch on Sky. Every weekend 10 games from Leagues 1 and 2 available to access and every league cup tie and Papa John’s shown live.

    Ifollow need to offer away packages to stop (some of) the black market firesticks. The cops are targeting IPTV service providers and clamping down heavy these days.

    its madness clubs arent seeing a penny of that money and so many watching games fly under the radar.

    Are they targeting them? or just going for the big fish. Problem is there are loads of little fish out there. I know of at least 50-100 different suppliers and I'm not actively searching them

    There are only 2 ways to do that:
    1) play matches outside the blackout
    2) remove the blackout

    Neither are good options for the EFL, fans and clubs. If the EFL got rid of the blackout you can guarentee the next time the Premier League rights are available 3pm Premier League games will be available.

    That won't stop it... IPTV £50 per year you get everything sport movies the lot

    Ifollow £10 per match... It wouldn't stop IPTV if ifollow was free because it's more than just football

    They haven't announced full details yet so it might not matter if you have Sky or not

    These are the matches as of today that will be available to watvh on ifollow (unless they get put on sky sports)

    • 15/16 August 2023 - away to Stockport
    • 3/4 October 2023 - away to Tranmere
    • 24/25 October 2023 - away to MK Dons
    • 28/29 Nov 2023 - away to Forest Green
    • 13/14 February 2023 - home to MK Dons
    • 12/13 March 2023 - home to Forest Green
    Interesting how two of the fixtures are home and away to the same team.

    Clearly, if we win a few cup games and some matches are shifted off a Saturday then the list will be added to.

    It's not even purely price. It's also about availability and the annoyance that someone in say, Peru could watch City at Crawley from the comfort of their arm chair but a regular, season ticket holder, can't.

    That's just got to be wrong, however you want to dress it up

    I have all tv channels, movies etc but still pay for iFollow every season as I’m often travelling and prefer to pay for the it. I only use tv box for movies as mentioned and watching foreign football

    You can get a firestick for the price of less than 1 months sky subscription. That just seems less of a hassle than using a VPN to bypass the UK blackout and paying £10 per game to the club. Blackout the Premier League games but make the EFL games on a pay per view basis, last season proved that people will go regardless of it being on TV.

    There is no way the Premier League would agree to that

    It wouldn't effect the premier league. Their games are sold out anyhow so it's not like they would lose trade.
