IFollow question, Monday's game (1 Viewer)

Does anyone know what the situation will be internationally for iFollow and the play off games?

It looks like UK streaming is not allowed for any playoff games, but the international situation is always confusing:

They seem to have done away with the blackout for ifollow when games are on UK Sky but a lot of countries will have the games on domestic channels.

Sky have the rights in the U.K., there’s a list of international stations here: EFL Official Website - TV Broadcast

I don’t think it’s on (legal) streaming at all.

Looks to me like my country (Portugal) does not have EFL rights:


It's not listed - earlier in the season I think SportTV or Eleven here had EFL games on, but neither list it on their marketing sites as a league they have coverage of. So I think this means in Portugal at least, iFollow will be fine for the playoffs.

Do you know if a country is on that list it won't be available, or is it not that certain?

It is ridiculously unclear but I think it means that local broadcaster could choose to broadcast the game and in that case, iFollow would need to blackout and not allow you to watch the game from the same country as that broadcaster.

So, you could try contacting iFollow/EFL (likely won't hear back until next week!) or check that local broadcaster's listings to see if they are broadcasting the game. If they are, I would start making alternative plans - if you have access to a VPN, choose any country not listed with a broadcaster on that page and you should be fine.
