Hearts set out match streaming plans which include PPV and free game – starting next week

Hearts have set out their match streaming and pay per view plans – and it includes a free match.

The Tynecastle club will play Partick Thistle in a friendly at the weekend, and supporters will able to watch the game free of charge as a "thank you" from the club.

Beyond that season ticket holders will have access to every home game via stream, and work is ongoing to add a pay per view option.

Those at the club say they have been working with partners Stream Digital and broadcasters QTV to put plans in place. A substantial investment is also being made to install a "multi-camera set-up".

Season ticket holders will have access to Hearts TV throughout the campaign, along with each of the 14 home matches. They'll also have four fixtures carried on to the 21/22 season, should they renew, in line with the club's "18 game" guarantee.

A Hearts spokesperson said: “When season tickets were launched earlier in the year it was against an extremely uncertain backdrop.

“This is why the club launched the 18-game season ticket guarantee pledge, to give supporters peace of mind that they would not miss any league games even if stadiums remained closed due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

“Today’s streaming announcement is the culmination of weeks of hard work behind the scenes, given the numerous challenges that await broadcasting live matches in the Championship.

“More importantly, it follows through on the club’s promise to ensure that season ticket holders are able to watch the Jambos every time they take to the Tynecastle pitch.

“Furthermore, the commitment remains whereby any outstanding matches from this season will be credited to those who renew their season tickets for season 21/22, with the relevant number of match tickets offered to those who do not renew.

“We’re looking forward to welcoming fans back to Tynecastle Park when it is safe to do so. In the meantime, we’re pleased deliver on our promise that no season ticket holder will miss out on any of the action.”
