Hide AdThat means Sunderland fans in the UK will not be able to stream games that take place between 2:45 and 5:15 on a Saturday afternoon.
Only fans overseas will be able to stream those games, provided that they have not been selected for international television broadcast in a territory that has an overseas broadcast partner.
However, the EFL have also confirmed that clubs will be able to offer a streaming service to UK supporters for any games that take place outside of that Saturday window.
That means that all midweek games not selected for TV can be streamed, as well as matches moved from their Saturday slot for non-TV purposes.

Is there any team news ahead of Sheffield Wednesday vs Sunderland?
Sunderland’s major concern for the first leg was that Broadhead left the field in the previous game against Morecambe with an injury during the first half, casting doubt over his possible play-off involvement.
Indeed, the Everton loanee wasn’t fit enough for the bench as Sunderland won 1-0 thanks to Ross Stewart at the Stadium of Light.
Could there be extra-time and penalties tonight?
The away goals rule does not apply to EFL play-off games, so if the aggregate score is level at full-time then the game will go to extra-time, two 15-minute halves.
If it is level at the end of that then the game will go to penalties, the winner taking on Wycombe Wanderers at Wembley May 21.
