Blackburn Rovers on TV and Stream

Historical Background

Blackburn Rovers Football Club can trace its history back to 1875 and is one of the few clubs that has retained the same name for the entirety of its existence. The team has been given several nicknames, including The Riversiders and The Blue and Whites, but is most commonly referred to by fans simply as the Rovers.

The club is based at Ewood Park stadium in Blackburn, Lancashire, and has been there since 1890. If that sounds like a lengthy occupancy then the team may be compensating for having occupied no fewer than four grounds in the first fifteen years of their existence, with the first being the Oozehead Ground.

Blackburn Rovers currently play in the English Football League (EFL) Championship, but also have plenty of experience at the top tier, having won the Premier League (previously known as the First Division) title three times. Naturally, such success has helped the team to attract a huge fan base, and many of those who can’t attend matches in person are still able to watch Blackburn Rovers on TV as well as via online football live streams.

Club Badge and Colours

Blackburn Rovers has a circular badge which shows the red rose of Lancashire against a white background. Surrounding that is a blue band with the name of the club and its year of formation in yellow lettering. The Latin motto 'ARTE ET LABORE' (which translates as 'by skill and labour') appears at the foot of the badge.

The home strip of Blackburn Rovers consists of a half-blue, half-white shirt, white shorts and blue socks. The away strip comprises a yellow shirt, dark blue shorts and yellow socks.
