Doncaster Rovers confirm viewing options for supporters ahead of Blackburn Rovers cup clash

Using the iFollow platform via Rovers’ official website, supporters will be able to purchase a match pass for £10 to watch the clash at Ewood Park, complete with full match commentary from the club’s media team.

Matches that take place in the coming season without supporters present are set to be broadcast on iFollow after an agreement was reached between EFL and Sky Sports for the broadcaster to waive their exclusivity for live games.

Season ticket holders are expected to be given free access to the live streams as part of their package. As Saturday’s game is in cup competition, there will be no free access.

The two clubs will share revenues generated from the streaming service, as they would have done with ticket sales.
