All William Hill SPFL play-offs to be streamed live
May 4, 2026
Every single William Hill SPFL play-off match will be broadcast live for the first time as part of a new SPFL live streaming offering. The SPFL online platform, which can be accessed within the Premier Sports website and Premier Sports Player app, will stream every play-off match not already aired live by Sky Sports, BBC Scotland or BBC ALBA.
The service will involve an enhanced broadcast of games from across the William Hill Championship, William Hill League 1 and Pyramid (League 2) play-off competitions, including the pyramid play-off between Edinburgh City and Brora Rangers. This follows positive discussions between the SPFL and clubs on looking at new ways of making these crucial end-of-season matches available for live coverage.
Fans will have the chance to watch each game on a PPV basis for £9.99 per match. All matches will be available to buy via the Premier Sports Player, available from all app stores or online at Premier Sports.
The William Hill Premiership quarter-finals and semi-finals will continue to be shown live on BBC Scotland, with the William Hill Premiership play-off final exclusively live on Sky Sports. BBC ALBA will continue to show exclusive live coverage of both legs of each of the William Hill Championship and William Hill League 1 play-off finals.
Neil Doncaster, SPFL group chief executive said: “We’re really pleased to be announcing that every SPFL play-off match will be broadcast live for the first time. The play-offs have delivered some of the most dramatic and memorable moments in the SPFL in recent years, and we’ve been working closely with our clubs to ensure we can make them available to as wide an audience as possible. This new platform offers an innovative and flexible new way for fans to follow the best of the action, as well as an enhanced broadcast quality for these matches. We’d lastly like to thank our clubs and Premier Sports for their support in making this possible and wish all the clubs involved the very best for what promises to be a hugely exciting set of matches.”
