Streaming information for 2021/22 season confirmed

With the Cherries kicking off the Sky Bet Championship season against West Brom on Friday, passes for afcbTV Live have now been launched.  

DOMESTIC

With the return of supporters to stadiums this season, the UEFA blocked broadcasting hours have returned. This means matches that are played between 14:45 and 18:45 on a Saturday are not allowed to be televised.

However, afcbTV Live will be able to broadcast matches domestically if the following criteria is met:
- If kick-off isn’t between 14:45 and 18:45 on a Saturday.
- The game is not shown on Sky Sports (excluding red button).  
- The game is not on the final weekend of the season
- In the case of displaced matches or games held on a Bank Holiday, the home club retains the option to stream the match.

INTERNATIONAL

Supporters who live outside the UK & Ireland can watch all games this season that aren’t selected for live television coverage.

Prices for international passes have been increased as per the EFL pricing strategy and will now be in line with domestic prices. This means match passes will be priced at £10, while season long passes will cost £170 (an early-bird price of £140 will be in place until the end of August).

If a match is selected for television coverage, only supporters in dark market countries – nations without a local EFL broadcasting agreement – can access the live video feed on afcbTV Live. This will be the case for our opening league game of the season against West Brom on Friday, as it's been selected for live television coverage.   

Please note that matches may be selected for television coverage exclusively in international areas. In this situation, the game may be restricted to international viewers but available to supporters in the UK & Ireland. The club will communicate if, and when, such a situation arises. 

A full list of dark market nations in confirmed below.
