why is it only the blackpool game is on sky sports and no red button stream feeds
To make people pay £10 to watch the other games on iFollow.

@redchiz1 unlike the Premier League who own the rights to broadcast, EFL clubs have a share in the broadcast rights. A few years ago they started their own streaming service called iFollow. You can subscribe to your clubs channel (providing they are part of the system) and watch games live.

Yeah, I know. But this round of matches is not available.
🤷🏼♂️ no different to other competitions with not showing every game every week. There must be a perfectly good reason and @sdan10 will have to take the issue up with the EFL!
@SweetBlitz not all of them. Coventry is audio only.
I read that the early rounds are not on red button as they don't count as midweek rounds, as they are rounds that would have been played on a Saturday, but were moved for the World Cup break. Don't know how true that is.
Everybody is saying today's Championship matches are on the red button, but i can't find anything on my Xbox Now TV app. The lack of communication from Sky is infuriating at times. They virtually never reply to anybody on twitter.
EDIT - They've just popped up this minute. They definitely weren't there before. Both Huddersfield v Blackpool and Hull v Sheffield United are up. They don't half leave things late, i've spent all week trying to find out if i could watch the Hull v Sheff Utd match, with absolutely no luck (or information) whatsoever until now.
iFollow is at the discretion of the home team…

In the Championship there are eight sets of midweek fixtures which will be streamed by Clubs, excluding Sky Sports selections. These matches will also be shown on the Sky Sports Red Button.
These dates are:
The following Bank Holiday fixtures can also be streamed at the home Club’s discretion, excluding Sky Sports selections:
On top of this, there are two extra rounds of midweek fixtures in August that have been moved from weekends in December to make way for the World Cup. These can be streamed at the home Club's discretion. These fixtures will be played on Tuesday 16th / Wednesday 17th August and Tuesday 30th / Wednesday 31st August.
@SweetBlitz Yes. Again, why would this have led you to make your initial reply regarding a match taking place on 31 August?
