The Club is delighted to officially launch TownTV along with the Ipswich Town Official App.
Designed to bring supporters even closer to the Club, TownTV will provide UK fans with behind-the-scenes footage, extended features and highlights all for just £5.99 a month.
The app, meanwhile, is the best place to read the latest news, see live scores and watch exclusive videos. Supporters will also be able to access the Club’s online shop and purchase tickets for first-team matches through the app.
Those that sign up to TownTV before 28 July will be able to watch Kieran McKenna’s side play their final two pre-season games AT NO EXTRA COST, with the Blues taking on RB Leipzig and SV Werder Bremen in the Innsbruck Cup next Friday.
JUST £5.99 A MONTH
Hosted in the Austrian city, both matches at Tivoli Stadium will be broadcast live on TownTV, complete with multi-camera coverage, dedicated commentary and live pitchside presentation (with James Tzanoudakis and Matt Holland), all produced by the Club.
Along with this, supporters that subscribe today can watch Omari Hutchinson’s first interview since signing on a season-long loan from Chelsea, and more than an hour’s worth of behind-the-scenes footage and interviews from the Blues’ pre-season tour to Austria.
From the Stoke City match on 12 August, both home and away fixtures will be presented from the Club’s new state-of-the-art TownTV studio at Portman Road.
Midweek Town games that are not selected for live broadcast in the UK will be available to watch at an additional cost of £10 per match.
Meanwhile, international fans (outside of the UK and Republic of Ireland) can subscribe to TownTV for £19.99 a month. Included in the international subscription is the ability to watch all of the Blues’ games that are not selected for live broadcast in the UK.
The Club is partnering with QTV to produce TownTV. QTV is an award-winning production company with a track record of broadcasting top-level football.

James Kirtland
Known as ‘Curly’, James is a former Soccer AM presenter. He was heavily involved with digital output and YouTube content and in total spent more than 16 years working on the hugely successful Saturday morning show. James will be a regular presenter on TownTV and will also contribute to the occasional non-matchday feature.
James Tzanoudakis
A life-long Town fan, James’ career has seen him go well beyond Suffolk’s borders. He has previously presented on the likes of Bein Sports, ESPN, Eurosport and Netflix. Particular highlights include working at the Olympics in both 2016 and 2020 as well as regularly presenting and interviewing at the US Open held at Flushing Meadows each summer. James will be a regular presenter for TownTV, hosting both the live pre-match and post-match shows for Town games.
Throughout the campaign, a host of former Town players will share their expert analysis in punditry roles, while Alfie Indra, who partnered with the Club’s media team last season, will often be involved with a particular focus on the matchday FanZone at Portman Road.
Town Women player Natasha Thomas will also be working with the TownTV team, providing tactical analysis and progress updates from Joe Sheehan’s side.
Glenn Wheeler will continue as the Club's primary commentator, with former Town player Ian Westlake regularly in the co-commentary position.
