How to watch the Swans Behind-Closed-Doors Championship Games

With the Swans returning to Championship action behind-closed-doors on Saturday, fans are being given access to watch games online and Sky Sports.

All of the club’s remaining fixtures are available to view from home, with matches being made available through coverage on the club’s Official SwansTV Live service and some selected games on Sky Sports.

However, there are some restrictions that you need to be aware of and the following information will tell you all you need to know about watching the Swans from the comfort of your home!

When can you watch games?

There are some differences for fans who live in the UK and for those that live outside the UK.

* Notes for UK based fans ONLY
For Season ticket holders who opted in for the streaming service as part of the season ticket refund options will be able to watch all nine remaining Championship fixtures.

This includes any games selected for ‘live’ transmission by Sky Sports (you will not be able to watch live Sky games if you are a season ticket holder watching outside the UK). You will receive a promotional code that will give you access to all fixtures, except any play-off games.

Season ticket holders who opted out of the streaming option will have to purchase a match pass for each game. Match passes are priced at £10 per fixture. All Swans games will be available to stream except those selected for ‘live’ transmission by Sky Sports and any play-off fixtures.

Non-season ticket holders are able to purchase a Match Pass for £10 per fixture. All games will be available to stream except those selected for ‘live’ broadcast by Sky Sports and any play- off fixtures.

To purchase a Match Pass for £10 please visit the Official Swans TV page.

* Notes for International (non-UK) based fans ONLY
For supporters outside of the UK, the usual process will apply for those with annual and monthly subscriptions. Annual subscriptions are still live and payments for rolling monthly subscribers were reactivated on Wednesday (June 10) unless previously cancelled by the individual account holder.

Supporters who have cancelled their subscriptions will need to sign up again to receive the streams. If you are unsure whether your account is still active, or have any queries, email [email protected].
