Season-ticket holders and holders of tickets for individual games will be able to stream coverage of matches.
Broadcasters will also be able to show more than one game during the current television slots on Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays. However, games will not be shown in pubs, in order to discourage the gathering of crowds in public places
