TownTV will feature behind-the-scenes footage, extended features and highlights for £5.99 a month.

The two games at Tivoli Stadium will be broadcast live on TownTV with multi-camera coverage, dedicated commentary and live pitchside presentation with James Tzanoudakis and Matt Holland.

Blues legend Holland and lifelong Town fan Tzanoudakis, who previously featured on iFollow as well as having worked for Bein Sports, ESPN, Eurosport and Netflix, and early in his career BBC Radio Suffolk, are among TownTV’s hosts, along with James Kirtland, a former Soccer AM presenter nown as 'Curly'.

Former Town players will give their expert analysis in punditry roles throughout the season, while Alfie Indra, who was involved with the Town media team last season, will be involved, focusing on the FanZone on a matchday.

ITFC Women’s all-time top scorer Natasha Thomas will also be working with the TownTV team, providing tactical analysis and progress updates on the Tractor Girls.

Omari Hutchinson’s first interview since signing on a season-long loan from Chelsea yesterday is currently available on TownTV along with more than an hour of behind-the-scenes footage and interviews from the pre-season trip to Austria.

International fans, those outside of the UK and the Republic of Ireland, can subscribe to TownTV for £19.99 a month.

Overseas supporters will be able to watch all of the Town’s games not selected for live broadcast in the UK.
