Sky TV. Ruining football since 1992.

Sky has ruined cricket and rugby league as well.

+ F 1 (or coverage of it, anyway,)

Don’t think so….

Read it properly -
“Domestic streaming audio services will remain alongside existing audio visual arrangements for international audiences via IFollow and club streaming services”.
So apart from the odd kick off time and day change featuring the Shrimps, things remain exactly the same.

As it stands you can pay for IFollow audio and can continue to do so. Abroad you can get pictures to go with the audio, and can continue to do so.
So those that watch on a dodgy stick in this country in all possibility, will continue to do so.
The highlight packages may well be on Sky rather than ITV, but it doesn’t say so.

I get the impression that some matches will be available to video stream, possibly more than at present, at £11 for a day pass or £26 for a month pass, so how valuable that is might depend on how many and which games are chosen. Hopefully all will become clear(er) in due course...

Must admit i was a little confused! The first email said, & I quote -
As a supporter who has used iFollow - the official streaming service of the EFL - we wanted to inform you that iFollow will no longer offer domestic live video coverage of EFL matches following the conclusion of the regular 2023/24 league season

the second email , was a little more ambiguous!


Or Freez, do you mean iFollow audio , as opposed to iFollow video?

From the extracts posted above, all seems pretty clear to me. You won’t be able to watch Tuesday night games live on I follow if you are in the UK. That’s a shame. But then again, I really wished I hadn’t watched certain games e.g. away at Walsall and Salford (which was a Sunday obviously).
