- By David Richardson

FOOTBALL fans will be able to watch every National League North and South play-off match for less than £15 on a new live streaming platform.

As exclusivel­y reported in last week’s NLP, BT Sport and Sportradar have partnered to deliver all ten season-defining matches at Step 2.

Supporters can access every match live in high definition, on demand and accompanie­d by commentary with the recommende­d Play-Off Pass priced at £14.99.

Single game passes are available from £5.99 with the finals priced at £6.99 each or £9.99 for both.

Viewers will be able to access the streaming platform via web, mobile devices and tablets, in addition to connected TVs via Chromecast.

The action starts today with four eliminator matches as Altrincham and Chester lock horns at 1.30pm with the winner facing York City this Saturday. Gateshead travel to Brackley Town at 4pm with Boston United awaiting the victors.

Slough Town welcome Dartford in the early kickoff in National League South at 1.30pm with Havant & Waterloovi­lle playing the winner in the semi-final.

Weymouth will take on whoever triumphs out of Bath City and Dorking Wanderers this afternoon at 4pm.

The highest-placed clubs will host their respective final on Saturday, August 1.

All Step 1 play-off matches are being televised live on BT Sport as part of their broadcast agreement.

National League chief executive Michael Tattersall said: “Due to matches being played behind closed doors, confirming a broadcast solution for fans has been an important part of our play-offs preparatio­n.

“This pioneering streaming service will create an opportunit­y for exposure of the competitio­n on a global stage.

“We would like to thank existing partners BT Sport and Sportradar for their support during this process.

“The announceme­nt adds to the already growing excitement that play-off action brings.

“To ensure a safe environmen­t for National League play-off matches to be played in, we urge supporters to not congregate at the grounds.”
