FC Halifax Town's next three matches will be broadcast live on streaming service DAZN. The news, first reported by the Halifax Courier, covers fixtures against Tamworth, Altrincham and Hartlepool United.
Pete Wild's side head into this televised run sitting 16th in the National League. They have three points from their opening three matches, with a record of one win and two losses. Their goal difference is neutral, having scored and conceded seven times each.
Which Halifax Town games are on DAZN?
The first of the three live broadcasts is this Saturday's home game against Tamworth. The following Saturday, August 28, sees the cameras travel for the away fixture at Altrincham. Coverage then returns to The Shay on Tuesday, September 1, for the visit of Hartlepool United. Fans can find all future dates on the club's fixtures page.
This commitment is part of DAZN's third season as the exclusive global broadcaster for the National League. The platform aired every league game live throughout August. From September onwards, it will show four matches per week. This includes a Friday night game, two Saturday lunchtime kick-offs and a late Saturday fixture.
What does DAZN's CEO say about the deal?
Shay Segev, DAZN's Chief Executive Officer, highlighted the appeal of the league. "The National League embodies everything that makes football special - passionate supporters, historic clubs, fierce rivalries and unforgettable moments," he said. Segev added, "Whether you're watching from the terraces, your living room or anywhere else in the world, DAZN is bringing supporters closer to the action."
The company plans for every club in the division to be featured live at least 30 times this campaign. Selected matches from the National League North and South will also be shown. Any fixtures not broadcast live will be available on demand after a short blackout period.
How can supporters watch the games?
Viewers have several subscription options to access the coverage. A full season pass is priced at £129.99. This provides live streaming for more than 400 matches across the season. Alternatively, fans can sign up for a monthly pass at £19.99. An annual contract paid monthly costs £14.99 per month.
Where does this leave FC Halifax Town?
The televised games offer a chance for Halifax to build momentum. They currently sit six points behind early leaders Southend United. While the team has shown firepower with seven goals, defensive consistency will be key. Striker S. Johnson, yet to score in ten appearances this term, will be looking to open his account in front of the cameras. The squad's current depth and form can be tracked via our squad and stats pages.
This broadcast schedule ensures supporters unable to attend matches in person can follow every key moment. It provides a significant platform for the club during a busy early-season period.
