All five of Town’s senior pre-season friendlies will be streamed live on TownTV over the next few weeks.

The Blues get into action when they take on Ukrainian champions Shakhtar Donetsk in two one-hour-long matches at Sportzentrum Landskron in Villach as their week-long Austrian training camp comes to an end.

The first game gets under way at 1pm BST with coverage starting at 12.50pm BST. Commentator Glenn Wheeler will be joined by former midfielder Ian Westlake.

The subsequent games against Fortuna Düsseldorf, Borussia Mönchengladbach, Hoffenheim and OGC Nice will also be screened.

Passes to watch the matches cost £4.99 each or £15 for all five and are available via the TownTV website.

TownTV monthly subscribers will have access to audio commentary of all five games.

Details of all Town’s friendlies can be found here.

BlueInBerks added 13:11 - Jul 18 Blues1. Because like me, he probably expects these to be streamed FOC if we are to pay (thro attending or TV) for the normal season.

carsey added 12:08 - Jul 19 I know Town need to make money wherever they can now to increase turnover and allow them to stay ahead of the spending rules but charging to overseas fans to watch friendlies on TV is a bit much IMO. As for other friendlies I gave up paying to watch them years ago since it's just a glorified training session and I don't consider it's worth the asking price.

Van_Blue added 17:45 - Jul 19 One thing that I wanted the club to offer has been forced on them - international subscribers can now get the same package that UK subscribers get - 5.99/mth for general content and match replays etc. Before the only package was the 19.99/mth complete deal with not all matches being allowed on Town TV I'm in for the 5.99. package with the previews, background interviews and match replays.

Pessimistic added 21:13 - Jul 19 I am in a bit of a quandary here. I bought an annual subscription for 170 quid which expires on the 12th of February next year. Then the club told me that they are returning to a trimmed-down package because this season, they will be unable to stream live matches. Then I Idiscovered that that club wanted another 15 quid if I wanted more than an audio transmission. I am very disappointed and I have emailed the club twice but have not received a definitive answer. The Supporter Services just said we have passed this to the Digital Team for a response as soon as possible. That was two days ago, and tomorrow is the first friendly so it is very much still up in the air.
