- Streaming arrangements revert to as before the COVID lockdown
- No streaming service to UK/Ireland based supporters for Saturday league matches or Sky Sports live matches
- Streaming services available to supporters in international countries at £10 per match. International season passes are £169.99 (or £24.99 per month).
Nottingham Forest can now confirm the streaming services available to supporters this season through Forest TV.
Supporters please note that there are significant changes to the services available in the UK/Ireland compared to the period of COVID lockdown.
When supporters were unable to attend matches, the EFL’s broadcast rights were amended to allow streaming to supporters in the UK/Ireland. Accordingly, Forest season card holders received complimentary streaming match passes whilst unable to attend matches.
This arrangement has now ended as supporters can attend stadiums again and, therefore, EFL broadcast rights revert to the arrangements in place before the COVID lockdown.
In summary, UK streaming services are restricted, whereas international supporters can continue to enjoy an extensive streaming service via Forest TV.
Where available, match streaming passes are £10. International season passes are £169.99 or, if you prefer to pay monthly, £24.99 per month.
This is what it means to supporters:
COVENTRY CITY (a)
Sunday’s match will be broadcast live in the UK/Ireland by Sky Sports (kick-off 4.30pm).
The match is available to supporters on Forest TV for £10 only in the 61 countries listed below as ‘List A’ countries.
Packages will be made available to qualifying supporters to purchase on Forest TV here within the next 48 hours.
This match is not available for streaming in the UK/Ireland or international countries in ‘List B’ below. However, supporters in those countries will be able to watch the match via a local broadcaster.
FOREST TV - LIST A COUNTRIES
Supporters can purchase match streaming passes for every league match for £10 in the countries in List A.

No league matches are currently expected to be excluded from this package for List A countries.
List A currently includes 61 countries. The list is subject to change if and when further broadcast deals are agreed in those countries.
List A countries are currently outside the EFL’s international broadcast deal which means that matches are not shown locally by domestic broadcasters. These countries are sometimes collectively referred to as “dark markets”. For the ease and clarity of Forest TV customers, these countries will be collectively known as ‘List A’ countries.
For the match against Coventry, the countries within List A and therefore available for match passes at £10 are:
Europe: 9 countries
Albania; Cyprus; Faroe Islands; Gibraltar; Liechtenstein; Luxembourg; Malta; Romania; Ukraine

FOREST TV - LIST B COUNTRIES
Supporters can purchase match streaming passes for any available league match for £10 in the countries in List B.

All league matches will be made available for streaming in List B countries with the exception of:-
- Matches selected for live Sky Sports coverage in UK/Ireland

List B refers to all countries not included in List A and also excludes UK/Ireland.
