Playoff coverage in Canada

Bcaddick

Canadian Addicks...It appears as though yet again coverage for the playoffs is not on beIN Sports despite it being on beIN sports in Australia...so frustrating.  Does anyone know if it is being covered on any other channel covered by Telus/Bell etc?

Correct, it's on DAZN which is online only. I'm deciding whether to subscribe or use a VPN and my Dad's sky login. *Edit* looks like they do a 1 month free trial so a no-brainier to do it that way and avoid risk if the VPN acting up.

iFollow isn’t an option for the playoffs. There’s a blackout when a match is selected for TV coverage.

Also correct, audio only through iFollow, and if I remember correctly what the commentators were like at the Keepmoat earlier in the season, then I'd rather pour petrol in my ears and set fire to them than listen to that.

Thank you all...Think I will try DAZN and link it up to my TV.

I think the blackout only applies within the UK.

IIRC, I couldn't watch the Pompey game that was on Sky earlier this season. Well, I could but only because I have access to a sky account, it wasn't available on iFollow in Canada.

I hadn't really looked into until you posted but DAZN makes sense - the free month will cover all three play-off games (assuming we get to play all 3!) and the Champions League Final so now is a great time to be signing up.

It’s in any country where the EFL has a TV deal.

At least, last time I tried to get it working I had to go with ESPN instead because iFollow was blocked.

From the DFC Site.

Overseas supporters can watch the match live through iFollow Rovers, however, live streaming is NOT available domestically for this match due to the game being shown on Sky Sports.

From the above link. International broadcasts are not available on iFollow.

I just did the DAZN month trial and it worked pretty well for the Champs League games and is showing all the EFL playoffs.

Doncaster iFollow is clearly saying the game will be available.

Playoff games are not on the list, I assume They must be different rules.

The game will be on iFollow.

“Overseas supporters can listen live through iFollow Rovers, but live streaming is not available in any territory where there is live TV coverge or domestically due to the game being shown on Sky Sports.”

Confirmed on Donny site now.

@Stu_of_Kunming looks like it’s on ssports.com in China, if that’s where you happen to be.

Just discovered it’s on Now TV with a one day Sky pass, so will be my first “live” game since the Sheffield Utd cup game in 2014!

Would I be able to use DAZN, if I set my VPN to one of the countries in which it operates?

Theoretically. Depends how good your VPN is and how hard DAZN is working to to detect people using VPNs. You can still get US Netflix if you have a good enough VPN.

Sweet. Just signed up for DAZN and will be tuning in at four forty five tomorrow morning from here in Whistler! Works like a dream.

Watching Sunderland vs Pompey on it at the moment.
