YORK City’s trip to Rochdale has been pushed back by 24 hours to accommodate DAZN streaming.

The Minstermen will now travel to the Crown Oil Arena on Wednesday, January 15 (7:45pm).

The match is one of four to be changed that week following a decision made between DAZN and the National League as part of their coverage of the fifth tier.

Although there will be no enhanced broadcast, the match will be available to stream live in the UK and Ireland, as well as overseas.

York’s last visit to Rochdale ended in a goalless draw last December, but an early Ricky Aguiar strike saw them earn a 1-0 victory in the sides’ most recent meeting at the LNER Community Stadium in late August.

Over the summer, the National League agreed a seven-year partnership with DAZN, with fixtures now being showcased across the platform in over 200 countries.

Games are available to be accessed across the globe via devices including desktop, smart TVs, iOS, Android, Sky Q, Apple TV, Amazon Firestick and games consoles.

Adam Hinshelwood’s table-toppers have seen a number of their matches selected for enhanced production by the league’s new broadcast partners, including their trips to Southend United, Woking and fellow high-fliers Forest Green Rovers.

Their Boxing Day clash at Oldham Athletic has also been pushed back to a 5:30pm kick-off for streaming on the platform.
