So that means they’ve completely changed the rules on viewing then, because in the UK, prior to Covid, you could watch any match which didn’t kick off at 3pm on a Saturday, or was scheduled for Sky coverage. According to this you can now only listen to audio. That’s crap if it works that way.

Below is the email I received after my query on July 26th. (Posted on the other thread) Slightly different as he says "subject to availability, some video match passes. You may also visit efl.com/broadcast-schedule/ for more information." I will ask him to explain.

Reply from a very prompt iFollow advisor!

Overseas supporters can watch any league game live that is not selected for broadcast by the EFL’s overseas broadcast partners or Sky Sports. These matches will have a full match replay available to users with an active iFollow premium subscription from 1am (UK) the day after the live event.

Latest blackout rules and the list of international broadcasters can be found on the EFL website.

Under our restrictions, UK classed as a 'domestic' territory and therefore they would not be able to watch live games, unfortunately.

As stated at the bottom of this link (https://www.efl.com/iFollow/live-streaming-restrictions/):

*Domestic is defined as UK, Ireland, Channel Islands, Jersey, Guernsey and Isle of Man, with International being all other countries.

It does mean however that you will still be able to access the iFollow audio passes, and subject to availability, some video match passes. You may also visit efl.com/broadcast-schedule/ for more information.

I hope this resolves your query, however, if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us again.

Cheers for the update Pedro. So what determines “subject to availability” then? I don’t understand why they’ve gone backwards with availability since last season surely proved its value to the EFL clubs involved and the previous season before Covid, it was just 3pm games that were unavailable. I suppose we’ll just have to wait and see what happens but other than the local games I’ll attend live here in S Yorkshire, I’d have paid to watch the other away games, which would surely have been good for the club?

I really enjoyed being able to watch last season's away games on iFollow and agree they helped to make money for clubs. I had hoped to watch this season again on my computer. I understand Sky has cameras at most fixtures, so what's the problem ?

So a fan in the UK has less access to iFollow than an overseas fan. Perhaps I am missing something as it seems a very simple solution...but couldn't someone in the UK just set up his VPN to be overseas and watch whatever game he wanted?

Mate of mine has one of these dodgy ipTV connections to watch his Blackburn Rovers and says it’s never let him down once and he only paid £60 annually
That’s really really bad that is..
Not that he has a dodgy subscription, that I have a Dingle friend with 7 fingers on each hand😬😬😬

It is a shame we can’t watch Saturday games but how many would buy season tickets if they could just watch at home? We have to protect the clubs income and not just from tickets but also merchandise and other takings when we attend games and at the end of the day you can’t beat the real match day experience when sitting alone at home. It’s also extra revenue for the club when we buy a pass so I think the way it’s set up is just right. Despite having a ST there will still be some night games I can’t get to, so at least I won’t now miss them completely and of course I will watch all of the available away games.
