I have had iFollow for our 2 seasons in the Championship; being in the US, it sounded pretty good, although I thought the terms were a little harsh for supporters in the UK. Turns out I was a victim of our success as our matches are frequently flexed over 'for television' to Sky. Well, those matches are blacked out in the US. I assume it's because Sky has some sort of relationship with ESPN because all of those matches are shown on their platform, ESPN+. So the good news is I get to see every match, the bad news is I need 2 subscriptions; iFollow costs 160 give or take for the season, ESPN+ is 5.99 a month. I'm going to guess that last season around a third of the matches were on Sky and this season it's gotta be getting close to half. I'm really getting hosed on the iFollow subscription. (iFollow has yet to offer a refund for matches not shown
, not holding my breath.)
I also subscribe to The Athletic and their article was very enlightening, especially the number of teams that have opted out. I'm thrilled that we'll have a bespoke streaming service next year. In the US, we get all of the Premier League games on NBC; although unless you are playing one of the top 6 those matches are on their online platform, NBC Gold (50 per season). You read that right, you get to watch the big boys for free but have to pay to watch mid-table and lower teams.
Worth every penny!
