Rovers were unable to back up their excellent win at Sunderland as they lost in disappointing fashion to Ipswich Town and remain eight points from safety.

Pompey, who sit 11th in the League One table, beat Burton Albion 2-1 in midweek to end a six-game run without a win. Michael Jacobs, who Rovers tried to sign in January, was on target for Danny Cowley’s side.

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.
