RagsYep, although the NOW offers do change so total may be different. Also there’s the opening day 3pm which will be televised on this new platform.Yeah the 20 include the midweeks, think that’s normally around 13 a season. I reckon we’ll see over half our games televised, which will mean a lot of Saturday lunchtimes.
Blues TV won’t be available for midweeks domestically. NowTV (I pay £20 a month) will show midweeks plus the other SkySports games if you don’t want to sign up to a Sky contract.
So £200 / season for Now TV gives me every Blues game except Saturday afternoon kick-offs ?
There’s an exception for any non afternoon which are internationally selected. Doubt this will happen mind.
Just looked at the Now TV page ... £34.99 / month

Yeah looks like no offers on at the moment for the flexible, there’s a 6 month contract at £26. I’d maybe wait till before the season when I’m sure they’ll do another.
I signed up during an offer at the start of last season with a mate, think it was £30 with the Boost and we split it. When I saw another offer for £20 I moved to that so we were only paying about a tenner a month, plus the entertainment and cinema for about £6/7.
Be interesting to see if the international break fixtures will all be non 3pms, or if they’re breaking the blackout rules for them.
First games of the season are being shown at 3pm
HackneyBlueSo maybe no HD then on those gamesguessing SkySports+ will be similar to the red button if theres multiple games on at once
Wagner’s DreamBe interesting to see if the international break fixtures will all be non 3pms, or if they’re breaking the blackout rules for them.
reads as if there will be no 3pm blackouts on international breaks, same as opening weekend, no premier league on seems to be the justification.
DAZN wanted to remove the 3pm blackout entirely in their bid
I hadn’t considered our season won’t be impacted by international breaks now.
I’m warming up to this League One lark
HackneyBluetheres plenty of ways to get around paywalls these days, but im not going to post them here, im sure you can work it out
Yes, exactly. I subscribe to the Blues TV international package that lets me watch all the games online, as I always seem to be temporarily abroad during matches. This isn't going to change for next season.
If what the Athletic says is true, then iFollow and Club Streams are only going to be stopped domestically, but streams on those services for people abroad will still be fine. So if you're like me and you live abroad during matches, then you should have no problem watching the games on Blues TV like normal.

...all depends on how many Internationals we have left or how many new ones we buy/loan 😤

We’re buying Joselu now he’s done taking the piss out of Bayern Munich, does that impact us
Will this be available if subscribing to sky sports through virgin?
Just about to leave sky for virgin so this may influence my decision
Pretty certain it will. All the other sky sports channels are

So if I understand correctly Blues TV will still be available for those of us who live overseas as per the same arrangements we had this season (certain games being blacked out when streamed via alternate international channels ESPN+ for example in the US).
