The Blues have launched their new TownTV service and official app.

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

From the game against Stoke City at Portman Road on Saturday 12 August, both home and away fixtures will be presented from the new TownTV studio which has been built in the old gym at Portman Road over the summer.

Midweek matches not selected for live broadcast in the UK will be available to watch at an additional cost of £10.

Fans who sign up to TownTV prior to 28 July will be able to watch that day’s two 60-minute friendlies at the Innsbruck Cup in Austria against Bundesliga sides RB Leipzig and Werder Bremen at no additional cost.

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.
