Howdy ya'll

I'm in the USA. Last year I was able to watch all(?) games thru combination of iFollow and ESPN+. From what I can tell, iFollow should be good-to-go mostly. But, there seems to be some new distribution rights, etc. I looked up the upcoming schedule on ESPN+ but couldn't find any Championship games on offer. A quick look around the web told me it seems maybe the Rights are now with CBS and/or Paramount+ ??

What streaming service do I need to get all the games that won't otherwise be available via iFollow.

Cheers you all are great people, and any advice and input you lot can offer to assist my being able to fully follow along our teams (possibly) historic season is greatly appreciated.

Respectfully yours,

JohnWH

I do iFollow plus a dodgy IPTV stream because I can’t be bothered to do a new investigation every time there’s some kind of rights clash

American here.

Combo of CBS Sports/Paramount and iFollow.

I am really interested to see how many matches end up on Paramount platforms versus iFollow this year, especially since the price has doubled. I went ahead and did the yearly pass rather than paying per match but we will see if that was the right call.

Thank you Chris, this link leads to to this link Championship 2024 TV Schedule USA and Streaming Links

So my best guess is that Paramount+ may be the best go-to for this upcoming season I hope?

Anyone else: is CBS and Paramount two different things and two different subscriptions? I'm not very young or very old, just very uncertain in my middle years, and not looking to get ripped off with services I don't need. Looks like maybe ESPN+ can take a hike?

Is it the same if we use a VPN to locate ourselves 'outside' the UK? That's what I have done for years so I am hoping I can still get around it by VPN'ing to France

The new deal with Sky+ is promoting over 1000 games live. That as I understand it is all matches in the Championship. (46 fixtures x 12 each week) 552 matches.
The rest are spread throughout league 1 & 2.

Is that not over 1000 spread over the length of the contract? Again, would be amazed it they included Sat 3pm. Not arguing Pax just doesn't seem right.

Wouldn’t recommend this, they‘re very good at detecting premium VPNs.

technically but as @Sick Boy said they have upped their game with locating people using VPNs

But if you do choose to use one and it works it will be the same for you as last year,

Thanks for sharing that TV schedule. From the early looks, I may have made a mistake.

Best call is probably subscription to Paramount and paying for matches that are on iFollow only as they come up. Oh well. Live and you learn.

I had Forgot it had all the Star Treks. $5/month for all my Star Trek + the odd Coventry game here or there not a bad deal.

Sky have announced their schedule up until the end of the year. Typically it’s five weekend matches per week. One on Friday, one on Sunday and three on Saturday lunchtime.

yes but you can buy every game seperately. NowTV and 14.99 per game I think. All fixtures are there.
they were all there last week end, every game.
