Doesn't JJ Watt work for CBS. Wonder if he's had any influence on this?

I’ll be in the US for a holiday when we have some games so that’s good to know that I can watch on Tv rather than find streams.

I wondered why JJ tweeted what he did.

Not great news really. To watch all games US Clarets will need:
Subscription to Paramount Plus. $6 a month.
Cable or Cutter subscription for the CBS Network. Min $20-30 a month.
Clarets international pass (assuming they do that again) $100+ one off payment.

It's another means to make as much money as possible just like with NBC in the Premier League. Would have been better for no games to be shown by a network here so we could just watch direct with the club.

I'll find a VPN that works with the international pass and surf different countries on match day again I guess.

A book club membership is very worthwhile and culturally beneficial!

Just saw that today too VC. Good news for me. Same price as I paid for Peacock last year. Hope we get most of the games.

Has anyone heard anything about whether the club will do the 'international season pass' package again for 24/25? I had a great time with it during the 22/23 season, much preferable over the dodgy stream adventures I'm forever embarking on.

If you're based in North America (U.S, Canada and other places) the NA Clarets on FB is a good place to keep up with things from a continental perspective. Usually, we post the schedules and best places to find the game. We also (usually) have meet ups depending on whether the World (in general, not just Burnley ;-) ) is in meltdown or not lol

As a proud member of the NA clarets FB, I agree :)
However, the streaming options in the US are still not great, especially for the championship. It was on espn plus last year (subscription based) and only showed a handful of games each week. Even with paramount plus it will still only be a few games each week.
While viewership is growing, I don’t know how much mass appeal it will have in the states.

It's not as bad as it is in the UK but honestly 'soccer' rights are really so out of date.
Just let us buy one subscription to watch every game. I'd like to be able to open one app and enjoy each game.
Not have to research frantically where the game is going to be shown (which can announced as late as two weeks away) and pay for something I am not going to use 99% of the time when our games aren't chosen.

Perhaps some clarets chipping in to share a subscription would be best?
