Amazon scores Premier League package

Amazon is set to televise 20 Premier League matches a season for three years from 2019.

It’s after the brand giant won a broadcast package.


The online streaming service won the rights to show games from the first round of midweek fixtures in December and all 10 matches on Boxing Day as part of a three-year deal.

The matches will be free to all Amazon Prime’s UK members.

The other package of 20 games was bought by BT Sport for £90m.

Premier League executive chairman Richard Scudamore described Amazon as an ‘exciting new partner.’

However, the Football Supporters’ Federation has slammed the deal, saying it will impact away fans.

It said in a statement: “We are concerned that the number of broadcast games could have a negative effect on attendances by away fans in particular.

“It is vital that more of these television revenues are invested in guaranteeing the participation and contribution of match-goers.”

If you want to watch the matches, you’ll need a Prime membership, which costs £79 a year or alternatively £7.99 a month.

Prime can be viewed on a Smart TV, mobile or via an Amazon Fire TV Stick.
