Bradford have confirmed that they are not allowed to live-stream any games in the Championship next season.

The Rugby Football League have told the Bulls that due to the Championship’s broadcasting rights belonging to Sky Sports, the club will be unable to live-stream first-team games in the 2019 campaign.

Bradford live-streamed games via Proper Sport’s Facebook page when they were in League 1 last season and were hoping to do it again in 2019.

The Bulls have announced that they will still be live-streaming academy, scholarship, reserve and women’s games though.

In a short statement released by Bradford, it read: “We would like to thank Proper Sport for all of their hard work last season and we hope to continue the working relationship with this growing organisation in the future.”
