Bolton Wanderers' League One rivals Plymouth Argyle would be in favour of scrapping a 3pm Saturday domestic blackout of matches.
The item of whether the 3pm blackout on Saturdays could be scrapped is set to be debated at the EFL's AGM next month to seek opinion on the subject. If the blackout is eventually eased or removed then clubs would be able to stream matches domestically which start at 3pm on Saturdays via the iFollow platform or alternative streaming service.
Wanderers supporters and those of other clubs up and down the Championship, League One and League Two became accustomed to watching matches via the service in the 2020/21 campaign, which took place largely behind closed doors owing to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Ian Evatt's side were among the most watched sides in League Two last season via the platform as they achieved automatic promotion to League One. This season, there have been no domestic broadcasting or live streams of 3pm matches on Saturdays in the EFL as the position moved back to something resembling pre-pandemic rules.
There have been domestic streams allowed of midweek evening games or matches taking place on Saturdays not kicking off at 3pm that have not been chosen for broadcasting by Sky Sports. If approved, the measure could come into place for the 2023/24 campaign, with also the potential of clubs allowed to negotiate with one another about showing 3pm games on an individual basis, allowing those which wish to the chance to opt out.
