The games continue to come thick and fast with a third successive midweek match for Doncaster Rovers.

Following defeats to Rotherham United and Ipswich Town under the Tuesday night lights at the Eco-Power Stadium, this week sees Rovers make the short journey to Lincoln City hoping to bounce back from Saturday’s 4-0 defeat at Portsmouth.

Michael Appleton’s men are five points clear of the drop zone, in 17th, but have played at least one game fewer than the teams underneath them in the League One table.

That means Rovers fans in the UK will not be able to stream games that take place between 2:45 and 5:15 on a Saturday afternoon.

Only fans overseas will be able to stream those games, provided that they have not been selected for international television broadcast in a territory that has an overseas broadcast partner.

However, the EFL have also confirmed that clubs will be able to offer a streaming service to UK supporters for any games that take place outside of that Saturday window.

That means that all midweek games not selected for TV can be streamed, as well as matches moved from their Saturday slot for non-TV purposes.
