I don't have BT sport and it appears that the match won't be on IFollow in the UK (and maybe abroad?). How are we going to be able to watch it? BT Sport have a 'month pass' for £25, but it seems that many of us will be stopped from watching because it's on BT Sport Extra 4 HD. Maybe I've missed something, but unless they put it on IFollow, a lot of us are going to miss it, especially as we can't go to a pub, or visit a mate who has BT Sport, because of the Tier 3 restrictions. Anyone know any better?

There's zero chance of it being on iFollow.

From the BBC website
All 32 FA Cup third-round ties will be broadcast live for the first time, with eight games free to air on the BBC.
Non-league Marine's game at home to Premier League leaders Tottenham on 10 January will be one of three FA Cup third-round ties shown live on BBC One.
The other two will be Crawley against Leeds United on the same day, and Arsenal against Newcastle on 9 January.
Five further fixtures, to be announced in due course, will be streamed live on the BBC Sport website and BBC iPlayer.
BT Sport will broadcast five games on TV and stream a further 11 online. The remaining eight will be broadcast on the FA Player.
The FA Cup third round will be played over the weekend of 8-11 January, 2021.
Presumably it will be possible to pay for the streamed games

Presumably it will be possible to pay for the streamed games Thanks for this. But I don't think we're the streamed game? Really frustrating that I can't pay a tenner to watch it as a one off or something. I refuse to pay £25 for a monthly subscription for one game. I actually think BT have missed a trick here. NowTV seem to be more on the ball for transactional sport.

Anyone know any better? Doesn't the £25 months pass include bt sports extra 4 then? The way I read it it seems to Think I'll wait until the day before the game to buy it cause we may get through to forth round and that only being on bt sport I believe it is 30 days pass from when you order UTG

Was able to watch the last round on BBC iPlayer Sport (was also on red button apparently?), surely the BBC announcement means the same? All games available via iPlayer? (Not iFollow) Being BBC it’s free (part of your license fee in any rate).

If it’s only 8 games then surely we stand a good chance? Most likely upset of a Premier League side?

As I said, it looks like, unless it's made available on IFollow, which I doubt, we will have to just listen to the radio commentary? Surely, considering it's a home match, there ought to be some way for home fans to watch it, other than a 'rip-off' £25 from BT for a months pass, which appears the only way currently?

Will radio Bristol be covering it, they may not want to travel?

If pubs were open then there's no way BT would make it a pay per View game. Like the Plymouth replay last year which was only available on BT. I think streaming will be the only option for anyone without BT sports

im sure one of us will find a site somewhere that is streaming the game and may possibly add a link on the match day thread.

There will definately be different people who use streaming for different purposes.... Some will see it as a downgrade on going to football others will see it as a convenience they much prefer.... It will be interesting to see how the availabilty/unavailability effects people in the future....
