It will stream league matches across the three divisions not already aired by BBC Scotland or BBC ALBA on matchdays where broadcast blocked hours are not applicable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The move follows the successful trial by the SPFL in May, which saw every single William Hill\u00a0SPFL play-off match broadcast live for the first time, and positive discussions with clubs around looking at new ways to further improve the delivery of live matches.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">A 24-hour pass to watch a match costs \u00a310.99 and is available for fans in the UK and Ireland, plus supporters will be able to view all of the non-top-flight league matches taking place that day on catch-up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The SPFL will produce and stream the matches, with revenue distributed back to the home club in each fixture.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Neil Doncaster, SPFL group chief executive, said: \u201cThe launch of the SPFL Player is an important step forward for the league and our clubs, as well as great news for supporters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor the first time, fans in the UK and Ireland will be able to watch their team in the William Hill Championship, League 1 and League 2 whenever matches fall outside blocked hours. Following the success of last season\u2019s play-off broadcasts, we\u2019ve been in ongoing discussions with clubs about new ways to enhance the production quality of matches, and the SPFL Player delivers that while returning revenue directly to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Non-blocked hour dates for this season include 15 August, 12 September, 26 September, 14 November, 27 March and 1 May, plus further potential dates to be confirmed in due course.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Simple Share Buttons Adder (8.6.0) simplesharebuttons.com -->           \t            <\/div>\n<p><script>\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n{if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\nif(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\nn.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,document,'script',\n'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n fbq('init', '1192059580980274'); \nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script>#Fans #score #SPFLs #payperview #deal #Daily #Business<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Step forward: Neil Doncaster. &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13835,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2],"tags":[266,265,110,1703,19004,6866,19002,19003],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32627"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=32627"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32627\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/13835"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=32627"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=32627"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=32627"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
