Next Tuesday’s game with Ipswich Town is set to be a special one, with RamsTV able to broadcast the match live to supporters in the UK for the very first time.
The match marks somewhat of a culmination of 18 months of hard work for the team behind RamsTV, after it successfully streamed the club’s first team fixtures to thousands of fans across the globe during the 2017/18 season.
Due to an EFL rule change at the beginning of this season, clubs are now allowed to broadcast mid-week league games to audiences in the UK – as long as the matches have not already been selected for traditional television coverage.
The fixture with Ipswich Town will therefore be the first to be available to stream in the UK through both dcfc.co.uk and the club’s official app for the one-off pay-per-view charge of £10 (a price set by the EFL).
RamsTV subscribers located outside of the UK will still be to stream the game or make a one-off purchase at the regular international pay-per-view cost of £5. Existing overseas video subscribers will have all domestic streams included in their subscription. Domestic audio subscribers will not have access to live video with their subscription and will need to purchase a pay-per-view package.
As with each of the games that RamsTV has been broadcasting to international territories, Tuesday’s edition of Matchday Live will include a packed programme of content to complement full match coverage.
Presenter Owen Bradley will be joined by special guests live in RamsTV’s Pride Park Studio half an hour before kick-off for a full pre-match show which will take an in-depth look at both sides using match clips, exclusive interviews and discussion on all the key facts and figures.
In game, RamsTV will broadcast a multi-camera mix accompanied by full commentary and match summarising. The broadcast also includes instant replays, ensuring fans won’t miss a second of action and can see all of the game’s key incidents from the best angles.
Half time and full time will see detailed analysis from Owen and his guests in the studio, with another chance to take a look at the game’s big moments.
The Matchday Live production is the jewel in the crown of RamsTV’s regular schedule of content broadcast across the club’s website, app, YouTube channel and social media platforms – The majority of which is free to view.
Alongside traditional player and manager interviews, RamsTV produces weekly comprehensive Review and Preview Shows that provide a more detailed look at Derby’s fixtures as well as the latest news from around the club.
There’s also the opportunity to watch the majority of the Rams’ Under-23s’ games live and for free, alongside highlights packages of both the Under-18s and Derby County Ladies’ matches.
It’s also worth remembering that RamsTV’s live pre-match build-up shows for each first team game, home and away, are also free to view wherever you may be.
Rams fans can login to the club’s website or download the official DCFC app to ensure they never miss a thing.
