Carlisle United fans can watch four of the Blues' league games on the iFollow streaming service during the World Cup.

The normal restrictions on streaming 3pm EFL kick-offs to domestic viewers is relaxed during the tournament.

It means there are extra opportunities for supporters unable to attend games in person to watch Paul Simpson's side.

The first Saturday game available for live streaming is Saturday's trip to Salford City.

The following two league Saturdays - December 3 and December 10 - see United at home to Sutton United and Barrow respectively.

Both those games kick off at 1pm.

The final game available to watch on iFollow domestically during the World Cup period is the trip to Northampton Town on Saturday, December 17.

Next weekend's FA Cup second round tie at Walsall is not on the iFollow service, which only applies to EFL competitions.

The league have underlined the service in a statement which said: "For those who cannot get to a game, all League One and League Two fixtures, as well as selected Championship matches, will be available across iFollow or club streaming services, with no restrictions on broadcasting 3pm games on a Saturday during the World Cup. 

"Every single Sky Bet League One and League Two match will be available to watch live, with 93 games being streamed and three more available on Sky Sports.

"The increased availability comes due to the Saturday afternoon closed window (Article 48) not applying during the World Cup period, which means there is still an opportunity to watch your team in action on Saturday at 3pm, via streaming, even if you cannot get to the game in person."

EFL chief executive Trevor Birch said: “With EFL fixtures continuing throughout the World Cup, we have a fantastic opportunity to showcase our competition, with supporters able to enjoy more access to watch their club play, whether at the ground, in the pub or at home.  

“While the winter World Cup has brought challenges for domestic leagues, for the EFL it also brings this opportunity to test how the streaming of live matches during traditionally blocked hours is received by fans that wish to watch their team, wherever they may be.”

The Qatar World Cup starts this weekend and runs to December 18.
