Consolidating chats from a few threads.
At the moment, there is nowhere to see tonight's game, unless Bet365 or Paddy Power offer streams, which we can't be sure about. Rugby Pass aren't showing it and searching all overseas channels shows only the Grenoble and Dragons games will be live.
Our likely only hope is the ERC website. Their live streams section currently says: 'By registering from Friday, 18 January, fans will be able to access live streams of some Challenge Cup Round 6 matches from this page.'
I will be checking throughout the day and will update. If a stream is confirmed, I'll be putting it on a TV in the Prince of Wales.
Can anyone see where on the site you register? There doesn't seem to be an obvious link. I've tried the fixtures tabl on the left, but it just whirrs...
I've been to that link and also can't see how/where you register
It says 'By registering *from* Friday, 18 January'. Therefore, I guess it could be any time today.
Based on the last streaming that they did on the site it was only those matches that are being shown on the DAZN platform - On the fixture list on the Grenoble and La Rochelle games are down as being shown on this platform so I think it is very unlikely that our game will be shown. Which is a shame
Thanks all for this. Hopefully something comes up. If it does I just need to negotiate being the passenger not driver on a fun Friday evening drive up to Barrow in Furness.
it's on the website to be streamed

I stand corrected, and I am certainly happy that I am. Although I imagine we will all have to be happy to miss the first 20 mins of the game as has been the case with their previous attempts at streaming
Did this for a game recently and it didn't come live until 20 minutes into the game....
Just registered. Our game will be streamed. All down the Prince of Wales!!
In the previous cases, I think the issue is that EPCR were piggy-backing off DAZN for the stream. DAZN is primarily an online streamer, not a broadcaster in the traditional sense. Because of that, the stream was locked down as per their standard "broadcasts" to ensure it could only go to someone with a subscription. DAZN forgot to switch the stream to "Public" from "Private" until someone nudged them half an hour into the game.
In other cases of EPCR streaming games from Russia involving Enisei-STM, they handled the streaming themselves & it worked okay from the start.
is it definitely going to be shown at the prince of wales? I may pop down!
