The Vanarama National League Launches Its Domestic And International Streaming Service
By Ray Simpson
Starts on Boxing Day
The Vanarama National League is delighted to announce the full launch of its official
streaming platform National League TV. All National Division Boxing Day fixtures will be
available to stream live at www.nationalleaguetv.com following a successful two-week beta
test period of its centrally produced and managed platform.
The site will allow both UK and international football fans to watch and switch between
National Division matches on any given matchday as the action happens.
For all UK-based fans, matches that sit outside of the 3pm Saturday kick-off and those
broadcasts live by BT Sport, will be available on a Match Pass basis at £9.50 per day. Whilst
for international supporters, an additional Half Season Pass at £80.00 and a pay monthly
option at £22.50 are also available.
Alongside live streams, all matches will be available globally as well as BT Sport Saturday
night highlight programmes as Video on Demand free-of-charge.
Mark Ives, General Manager of the National League, commented: "The response by fans to
the beta test streams have been fantastic. The number of both site registrations and
Matchday Passes has exceeded expectations. Our goal is to give fans who can’t get to
stadiums the ability to be part of the live match day experience no matter where they’re
based around the world. The numbers have only endorsed the passion for football at this
level. We didn’t want to limit supporters to just one match stream on the platform, our
unique offering has been designed to allows fans to switch between matches to keep track
of all the action as it’s happening live that day”.
The National League has had fantastic support throughout this project from its Broadcast
Partner BT Sport, its Title League Sponsor Vanarama and its 72 league clubs. It also
welcomes StreamAMG, Other Media and 247.TV who will produce, manage and deliver
National League TV globally direct to fans.
Mark Ives added: “Our priority is all our 72 clubs and their supporters globally. In providing
a further opportunity for football fans to watch matches live, we are raising the profile for
our clubs and our leagues. We are also planning test streaming events for our North and
South Division with a view to include them in phase 2 of our streaming platform expansion.
We are confident that we can build on the already record attendances in stadia as well as
delivering a fantastic platform for fans who ordinarily would not be able to attend matches."
