Watching Bristol City vs Blackburn While Travelling
UK Sky Sports and NOW access is subject to territorial broadcasting rights and account restrictions. If you are travelling abroad, your usual UK stream may not be available.
The EFL has separate international broadcasting arrangements. Supporters outside the UK should check the authorised broadcaster for their country or any eligible international club streaming service.
Domestic club video streaming is generally superseded by the EFL’s Sky Sports agreement, so UK viewers should use the confirmed Sky Sports+ coverage.
Live Audio, Highlights and Match Replay
BBC Radio Bristol has scheduled coverage of Bristol City against Blackburn Rovers, including a pre-match programme from 7pm and match commentary from 7.45pm BST.

Highlights should be checked through Sky Sports and the clubs’ official channels after full-time. NOW offers selected EFL catch-up content, but the availability of a full-match replay for this particular fixture has not been confirmed.
