After an on-going issue around live streaming and broadcasting in the UK & Ireland, NIFL have confirmed to the club that a Saturday 3pm black out will now be enforced in Irish League football under UEFA Article 48. As of this season, clubs will no longer be permitted to stream matches that kick-off at 3pm on Saturdays.

This sudden change to streaming permissions in the league significantly impacts our ability to provide the service the club had been hoping to and as a result all supporters who purchased a Streaming Season Pass will be refunded in the coming days.

Streaming has played a role in Irish League football since it was introduced during 2020 to allow fans access to games online as they could not attend due to restrictions, and we are disappointed that we are no longer able to bring our Saturday games to fans.

Linfield TV will still show live games throughout this season on a Pay-Per-View basis, however only games that are on days that do not clash with this black out will be permitted.
