The Football Association of Wales (FAW) has launched Cymru Football TV, a new streaming platform that will become the exclusive home for live coverage of every match in the Novira Cymru Premier.
The new subscription service will give supporters access to every top flight men’s domestic league fixture live, alongside selected domestic matches, Cymru national team age group fixtures and FAW documentaries.
Domestic cup draws will be available to watch free of charge, with additional content set to be announced in the coming weeks.
The first live fixtures on Cymru Football TV will be the UEFA Conference League first qualifying round matches involving Caernarfon Town, Connah’s Quay Nomads and Penybont during the week commencing Monday 6 July.
Supporters can choose from a season pass priced at £99.99, a monthly pass costing £12.99 or purchase individual match passes for £8.99.
To mark the launch, the FAW is offering a 14 day free trial, available until 11.59pm BST on Sunday 12 July. The trial will provide free access to selected European fixtures, Cymru Cup matches and games from the men’s Welsh Cup First Qualifying Round.
The FAW has also confirmed that details of a new free to air broadcast agreement for the Novira Cymru Premier will be announced in due course.
Jack Sharp, FAW Head of Domestic Leagues, said: “The launch of Cymru Football TV represents a significant step forward for the future of the Cymru Premier and our wider domestic competitions.
“Moving from 34 broadcasted matches per season to coverage of every Cymru Premier fixture fundamentally transforms the ability of the FAW and its clubs to expand their reach, visibility, and engagement. This will be complemented by the strongest ever free-to-air offering in the history of Welsh football, details of which will be announced shortly.
“As structural changes are introduced across the Cymru Premier, it remains essential that supporters continue to have access to their clubs. While the platform is launching with modest beginnings, its long-term development will be guided by audience growth and supporter feedback, with increased reinvestment as the platform succeeds. I am also pleased to highlight that a significant redistribution model is built into the platform, ensuring that clubs directly benefit from their own supporters buying subscription packages.
“Considerable work and investment from the FAW has gone into delivering this project, while I would like to thank the team at Two Circles for their support throughout the process. We hope the platform will provide both long-standing and new supporters with a central hub for domestic football as the only place to watch all Cymru Premier matches live. In time, the platform will also enable us to assess and enhance coverage across our other competitions which we will be trialling this season.”
