New website, shirt launch and broadcasting rights

Post by MisterPleasant » Fri May 29, 2026 12:23 pm

All wrapped into one email. What this means for those who relied on iFollow for BBC RC match day commentary is unclear.

Does anyone know how we will be able to watch 3pm Saturday games online?

In League 2, I was using a VPN though iFollow but I am thinking you may not be able to do that through DAZN ?

Seems 3pm live games blackout on DAZN also.

All National league games are available on a dodgy stick irrespective of the black out statement although the streaming never kicks in until right on ko time. Commentary is taken from local Radio if available
I would expect commentary will be available online next season via Radio Cumbria as unlike the EFL the National league allow online commentary

Our commentary will be available via a link on the bbc sport website and app - this is different to BBC Sounds so don’t confuse the two

Yes, I’ll try and post the link in here for people but can’t guarantee I can do it all the time depending on timings and how busy I am at the time

Living in Pennsylvania, I fear I am out of luck to watch live games, now that iFollow isn’t an option. Your commentary will be welcome, Adam.

Hi Adam

Will Cumbria FM live stream games?

As I’ve said the games will be available to listen to through a link on the bbc sport website and app

On the radio we will be DAB+ and AM as always but with being in national league there are no longer restrictions in listening online so you will be able to access the commentary via the link which is posted on the live commentaries page on the bbc sport website

No problem with people having a 'dodgy' stick but buy a season ticket as well, support the club.

I see that he new web site has appeared, but can we leave the latest results box blank for now because I don't like being reminded of last season ;)

EDIT: But now the old site is back :?
