National League TV
As the 5th tier of English football the National League represents 24 clubs across the country and supporters who need a way to watch the action when they can’t be at the game in person.
The challenge
All divisions below the Premier League are able to stream games outside of the 3pm blackout (Article 48) that are not part of a rights package owned by other broadcasters. All divisions except the National League. The league’s clubs and supporters were missing out on crucial revenue and the chance to watch matches when unable to attend in person.
As soon as a board decision was made that eligible games could be streamed, a solution was needed that could be delivered quickly and with no compromise on quality: something we excel in thanks to our experience and expertise.

The homepage gets your to where you want to be with ease: displaying upcoming fixtures and providing quick and easy access to the games when live.
On mobile the dynamic login block encourages users to take the next steps from creating an account and signing in, to purchasing a pass and checking out, to browsing the schedule and choosing the match to watch.
