Sorry if this has already been raised elsewhere. We?re getting closer to the new season and still no service provided by the club. As far as I can see it?s in the hands of individual clubs contrary to last year.
I click onto the EFL link every day but no change and nothing from the club on the website as far as I know.
Hoping this gets sorted soon

It's a reasonable request to want to know what's going on regarding this. This affects CFC fans all over the world but the website seems more keener to tell us what kind of seats we have in the dug out.

I'm fairly sure that only affects the domestic market. OP is asking what is happening internationally which is determined by the clubs individually.

Last year on holiday in Mexico I watched Dorking H and Fylde A sat on the balcony by the pool at 9am. Didn?t watch Oxford as it was in the middle of the afternoon and we were out.
It was dead easy, tenner to NLTV and Bobs your Uncle.
This year I?ll be in Greece for the opener, 10pm local time KO and also the Derby Cup game. Unlike last year I?ve no idea how I?ll be able watch these. Will I be able to buy a Now TV pass and use a VPN? Will there be a bespoke streaming service for overseas fans? No idea.
I?ll be the first to admit I thought streaming would be bad for the game at our level but I?ll hold my hands up and say I was wrong. It?s now become palmist a given that if you can?t get to the match (aways for me) you?ll easily be able to watch at home even if you have to use a VPN to do so.
Sky Sports sub is not an option as the only Sport I watch is Town and it?s just not financially viable to pay that much when it?s not even every away league game.

Oh good, another bloomin' subscription for me to add to the pile

[Cum on u blues]

Unless I?m mistaken those who don?t live in God?s land still don?t have access to all matches. I regret that my support for CFC doesn?t quite go as far as being a Trump man or an Alzeimer president. Hopefully something will give before the season starts

It would appear the club will not be offering a bespoke option for overseas audiences as you would expect some information by now if they were. I can understand why as we are not a public service and it would be arguable if revenue would justify it. Your Now/VPN option sounds feasible at least in theory for those games on the main Sky channels or streamed

Who would have thought that entering the EFL would actually limit potential streaming options even if they are via the back door.

In which case how do we make our case heard ?

I?m sure they?re lots of fans like me who are in the EU for example who would appreciate an option and at the same time give extra income to the club. It?s a win win situation tbh

The more networks the more dodgy streams there will be 😂👍🏻

As Town Fan helpfully said when I asked a similar question on another thread, "ask the club"

Looking at the fixtures that's just a rehash of what's available on Sky minus the ones on Sky+. The Swindon game isn't on CBS for example.

Only the club will no for sure what, if any, individual broadcasting set up for international subscribers will be available.

It's a bit tinpot we still don't know, it will be even worse if we don't have anything.

Wonder if this deal will mean more money for the football clubs or whether the deal is the deal and the American and other subsequent international deals is pure profit of Sky

Have any clubs announced anything yet? Is the issue at club level or something with the league holding things up?

Most clubs have things in place already and are continuing to offer the same service to international customers as before.

Even the big hitters like Barrow have things sorted.

I had a look on a few clubs steaming platforms and I can't find anything specific about international video streaming availability for the coming season. I suppose the assumption is that iFollow or similar will continue with international streaming. Strangely some haven't even updated their help pages to mention that domestic video streaming via their platform is no longer available.

It is definitely worth noting that audio streaming seasonal passes are available for ?45 on these platforms. Currently our audio stream is free and long may that continue. I suspect there would be plenty of moans if we adopted the iFollow model and people had to start paying for audio streams

[Town_Fan]

Domestic 3pm streaming never was available
