Match highlights for Wrexham AFC will be available much sooner than before due to the embargo being brought forward.
Wrexham AFC has announced the change following a statement released by the National League which confirmed that the embargo has been brought forward significantly.
The club says that as a result, match highlights will be available to view on their club channels from 10.30pm (BST) after Saturday's game against Torquay United.
The statement from the Vanarama National League read: “The National League has been in discussions with BT Sport on the timing restriction on clubs placing their highlights online and the difficulties this can cause some clubs.

“Yesterday (September 21) BT Sport confirmed they are in agreement for the restriction to be amended so that clubs can upload their highlights immediately following the BT Sport National League highlights show, rather than the current restriction.
“Whilst the timing of the BT Sport highlights show may vary – they are typically scheduled at 10pm, finishing at 10.30pm, with this being the case for the forthcoming weeks.
“Should there not be a weekend highlights show, highlights cannot be uploaded until after the blackout in accordance with Article 48.

“This amendment is effective immediately and the League are grateful to BT Sport for this concession.”
