How To Stream EFL Matches If You’re Abroad

Fans of EFL clubs are undoubtedly the most committed around. And they love nothing more than going to games. But sometimes, it’s not always possible.

This could be because a supporter is on holiday and out of the country. They may be working abroad for work. Or they could even be living abroad. However, this doesn’t mean they can’t keep up with the action.

The first thing to consider is where in the world you are if you’re a fan of an EFL club and want to stream live matches. We say this because there may be opportunities to head to a local bar that is perhaps showing the game because it’s being broadcast on Sky Sports, for example. Or, it could be a case of there being a supporters club in the region, where the matches are streamed for everyone to watch, removing the hassle for individuals.

However, if the above isn’t the case, the next step is to visit your club’s official website and check for iFollow. The iFollow service is operated in conjunction with the EFL, and it allows anyone outside of the UK and Ireland to watch games live by paying for a subscription or for match passes. Everything is reasonably priced, and it’s also an opportunity for fans who perhaps live out of the country to contribute to their club.

The iFollow service is incredibly easy to get to grips with once you have set up an account and paid for a subscription or a match pass. On game day, you log in, move to the iFollow screen, and there will be the option to “Watch Now.” When you give this a click, the screen will expand slightly, and the show will start. There is also the ability to watch in full screen, with iFollow working on various devices, including mobiles, tablets, laptops and desktops.

What’s worth pointing out that the iFollow service often begins just before kick-off, and there is usually a bit of a break at halftime where the commentators stop talking. It’s at this point fans could go and make a drink, grabs some more beers, and you can even play some slot games to take the pressure off; there’s even some football ones if the game isn’t going the way it should. And the same applies if a stream also suffers from buffering during the game. It’s like being at a football match, but food and drink prices are lower, which will be music to people’s ears.

If an EFL team’s fixture is being shown on Sky Sports, it can be a different story. As mentioned above, when this is the case, if you’re in a country where English football and Sky Sports are popular, there will often be opportunities to watch in pubs and bars. And if not, Sky Sports itself has a bespoke app and user-friendly website that can deliver an excellent experience for those tuning in from their smartphones or laptops wherever they’re based.
