Swansea City will play Burnley on Saturday afternoon and fans will be able to watch it online across the globe, but not in Swansea itself.
Since the 1960s, live broadcasting of football matches in the traditional Saturday 3pm slot has not been permitted within the United Kingdom.
Coincidentally, Burnley had a large part to play in this. It was former Burnley chairman Bob Lord who pressed his fellow Football League chairmen to introduce the 3pm blackout, fearful the rise of televised football could have a negative impact on stadium attendances.
