Hey Leeds fans, want to see what us international fans have been complaining about?
LUTV will stream the Preston match live in the UK, the first official match that LUTV will have streamed to the UK. Well, at least the first time that Leeds fans didn’t have to resort to, ahem, “other” methods to see the LUTV stream.
| Can’t make the Preston game on Tuesday? For the first time ever, we’re streaming the game LIVE in the UK, and you can get closer to the action with an LUTV match pass
— Leeds United (@LUFC) September 16, 2018
No word if the sound or camera quality will be fixed for the match, or if a less-than-sell-out crowd will result in this experiment ending after this match.
Per the club’s official website:
This season the EFL are allowing clubs to live stream midweek games for domestic viewers for the very first time.
This means our fans in the UK will be able to watch the entire match via the Leeds United app and online, with 90 minutes of live action, replays and much more!
Thanks to LUTV’s unrivalled access to the club, viewers can enjoy:
- Pre-match build up with Emma Jones featuring Patrick Bamford from 7pm
- Full match commentary from Eddie Gray with replays
- Half time analysis and post-match reaction. LUTV is always the first to speak to players and coaching team at full time
- Exclusive interviews with players, coaches and club legends
It does make sense that Leeds would broadcast midweek matches, since those are usually more difficult for fans to make, and honestly, if Leeds can get more revenue from LUTV than it can from Sky, why not?
