How To Follow The Rams’ Season Opener At Sunderland

From the 2017/18 season, supporters will be able to enjoy a far greater digital offering when it comes to following on Derby County every step of the way.

Over the summer, there has been significant enhancement of RamsTV after Derby chose to partner with StreamAMG, Europe’s premier online video specialist, to provide their own platform – rather than join the EFL’s digital streaming service, iFollow.

For 2017/18 and beyond, the club will be providing a streaming service which will be in line with the EFL’s price structure for those clubs who have remained in the new EFL Digital agreement.

The service on RamsTV will include:

* Live streaming of first-team Sky Bet Championship fixtures (with the exception of those selected for live TV coverage) for supporters based outside the UK – including a full Matchday Live show with exclusive interviews, expert analysis and match commentary.
* Full Matchday Live replay the day after each first-team fixture for supporters based in the UK.
* Live streaming of Under-23 matches with match commentary, both inside and outside the UK.
* Audio commentary of every first-team fixture for supporters worldwide.

Supporters were given a flavour of what they can expect after numerous trials were held over the course of pre-season and the club streamed all of its friendly matches LIVE.

With reference to this game, here’s a breakdown of what you can expect from our #SAFCvDCFC production:

• A preview show, hosted by Jack Woodward alongside special guests Darren Bent and Roy McFarland, that will be live from 6pm on Thursday 3rd across dcfc.co.uk.
• A pre-match show that will begin a 7:15pm. Darren Wassall and Marc Edworthy will join host Colin Gibson as live studio guests to discuss the game ahead and the team news coming out of the Stadium of Light.
• A pre-match interview with Gary Rowett ahead of kick-off.
• Listen to live audio commentary from BBC Radio Derby and follow all the action every step of the way.
• A live post-match show – starting at approximately 9:30pm – analysing all of the action, whilst reaction from Rowett and his players will be provided as soon as possible across dcfc.co.uk and RamsTV.
• A review show, aired on Monday to reflect on the match at Sunderland with a first-team player as well as look ahead to Tuesday’s Carabao Cup game at Grimsby Town.

Match Highlights and the Matchday Live show will be available to view for supporters in the UK the day after each first-team fixture, as per with the EFL’s digital terms.

The new RamsTV streaming service is available to all supporters who register on our new-look website dcfc.co.uk – which launched In June and has been developed with significant supporter input.

To access the full RamsTV streaming service will cost the following:

First-Team Match Streaming (outside UK) - £110 annual subscription or £12.50 per month
First-Team Audio Commentary (worldwide) - £45 annual subscription or £5 per month

A link to packages can be found here.

The two premium services are in addition to the regular pre-match and post-match interviews on RamsTV.

Supporters will also be able to follow all of the action, as usual, across our social media channels.

We will be providing behind the scenes content across Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat, where we will also provide a blow-by-blow account of proceedings at the Stadium of Light.
