If you follow the link here;

https://www.efl.com/how-to-watch/upcoming-tv-games/

you can then enter the name of any team, i.e. Doncaster Rovers, and it will show you exactly what games are being shown live.

Could be handy!

[Jimmydee]

I’ve found them, thanks.

[Padge_DRFC]

Did I see something that the next 2 months worth will be announced in August for October onwards?

[Chris Black come back]

They said that before the season starts, we will have confirmation on games from end September until third round of FA Cup. Assume they will do this probably on the night before.

To date the only confirmation you have is until end of September.

Okay I have 3 really easy questions, because all this is confusing the hell out of me….
1) So I put in Donny, and I get the Salford away game, is that on sky or the replacement for IFollow?

2) I can’t find any details on the opening game v Stanley, how do I watch that? (I am an overseas viewer)

3)Who am I supposed to be paying for a full season ticket?

Cheers

If you use the link above like it says you will see there are 2 games listed Accy at home and Port Vale away. that is all so far. Hope that helps.

There is 3 games listed the 2 you mentioned plus the Carabou Cup match away at Salford.

[RoversInSpain]

Thanks for your replies.
It must be my link as I click on league 2 put in Donny and it says no available options with the only match listed on the 10th being MK v Bradford.
Hmmmm?

I got to the stage where Rovers v Accrington is listed and an option to go to the Match Centre. On clicking that you are given a link to a purchase a pass for Live Stream. On clicking that, a 404 File/Page Not Found error comes up. It all seems a bit of a shambles and as for Rovers+ …. well, still no information on this/no option to buy a season pass or even details on obtaining a match pass. If indeed this is the replacement for iFollow, with just three weeks to go to the start of the season, as exiles, we are still in the dark about how this can be accessed.

[ravenrover]

Have any of you exiles taken it up with the Club?

[RoversInSpain]

That looks like the next stage, and as Scilly says we’ve had nothing from the club.


Can anyone suggest the most appropriate departments email address….?

[silent majority]

There's a bit of confusion here.

The link I put up is purely just when DRFC, or any EFL club really, has its games shown live on Sky+, and is not to be confuced with anything else.

iFollow is being replaced but the detail is still to be announced. Rovers have opted out of the collective EFL deal in order to provide more specific and nuanced coverage of their own content. This is marketed under Rovers+.

I'll ask the club to share what they have.

The EFL have also recently struck a deal with CBS to show a lot more games, this is going to get very confusing!

[RoversInSpain]

Oh lord! It’s going to get confusing? Crikey, I’m already lost.
All the exiles want is to be able to watch Rovers live for the season as we have done via IFollow for at least the last 4 years, happy to pay whatever…. So …

Come on Rovers give us some clue what we need to do…

[adamtherover]

I can't see any Donny games?

[donnievic]

I can just see
Accy
Salford
Port vale

Can’t see the Harrogate game

[RoversInSpain]

There must be a problem with the site, I’ve only seen Salford and Harrogate which is a September match.

[roversdude]

Strange how there seems to be different views on this - I get the same as donnievic

[Superspy]

Mainly, the different views are down to poor user experience design on the site.
The filter for the matches is being applied in a very specific order (competition selection first, then team selection). And when you select the competition along the top first it's not just filtering the list of teams, it's also filtering the matches for that specific competition.

To see what I mean try the following:

- Go to the link, leave the top selector on "All competitions", select Donny from the list
-- You should see 3 matches, Accrington, Salford and Port Vale

- Refresh the page, this time select "League Two" along the top, then select Donny,
-- This time you'll see 2 matches, Accy and PV, because you filtered all the Cup games out by selecting League Two first

- However, if you now click "All Competitions" again, it won't add the Salford game back in, because the filter doesn't get re-applied until you remove the club and re-select it.

Shit UX design with too many assumptions about user behaviour baked in. Not sure about the Harrogate comment though - I can't see that anywhere.

Suspect it’s geographical if you are in Spain, sky sports+ streaming is domestic market only while the Harrogate game is on one of the sky sports tv channels

[ChrisBx]

Anyone managed to find the Sky Sports + app on Virgin Media TV?

Thank you Ldr, you are spot on, when I turn on a vpn to UK and then try the link it now gives me the Donny v Accy game on sky+

[Ldr]

Anyone managed to find the Sky Sports + app on Virgin Media TV?

No, I was told it’s not live until august

[Ye-Aul-Tavern]

No games at all coming up for me. Obviously due to my location (Ireland). I'm going to get sky sports and watch whatever games are on that sky plus.

[ravenrover]

Just had an e mail from Virgin, free new box is required to watch the Sky+ games. Just ordered mine

[Padge_DRFC]

When are October fixtures expected to be announced in terms of moving? No doubt they'll move the M180 derby

[Chris Black come back]

All they have committed to is “before the season starts”. I think we all suspect that will likely be one minute before kick off on first game of season.

[donnievic]

Grimsby 5th oct away now 12.30 and Tranmere 21st dec against Tranmere 12.30 both for sky

[Peebles Rover]

May be a silly question, but does anyone know how you select the rovers match through bt broadband on TV. I’ve got a sky box and I can see how I select it on my tv. But my dad has a bit box and it just shows the no dons v Bradford game.

[Ldr]

On virgin media box it’s press red button whilst watching sky sports+ could it work similar on bt?
