WHEN TRYING TO WATCH, I GET AN 'UNAUTHORISED COUNTRY' MESSAGE

This means the game is not available to broadcast in your region.

If you are abroad, please ensure you are connected to a local WiFi network and not roaming on your UK operator's 4G/5G. When roaming, your IP address is recognised as still being in the UK as you are still a UK mobile subscriber even if roaming. Connecting to local WiFi will solve this.

This message may also occur if you have purchased a pass in an eligible country but are now trying to view from a different country where content cannot be viewed due to rights issues (e.g. when on holiday).

WILL FULL MATCH REPLAYS BE AVAILABLE?

Where available, full match replays can be viewed on National League TV from 10.30pm Sunday for weekend games.

Holdback for non-midweek games is TBC.
