Amazon Prime Video’s Premier League coverage ends this week – here’s why

Premier League fans will enjoy two days of Premier League action on Amazon Prime Video on December 26 and 27, but they will be the last matches broadcast by the streaming platform.

Amazon has had access to two full Premier League match days per season for the past six years, but Christmas week’s games – headlined by eight games on Boxing Day and two more tomorrow – will be the last in the broadcast deal with the Premier League.

The Prime Video coverage was unique in that it offered all ten matches per match day exclusively live via the streaming platforms without blackouts.

However, the 20-match-a-season package was not offered by the Premier League when the new rights arrangements went to auction last year. As such, from the 2025-2026 season all Premier League teams will revert to bringing a split between Sky Sports and TNT Sports (formerly BT Sport).

Athletics published a piece this morning reporting that if Amazon had wanted to continue broadcasting Premier League games beyond this season, it would have had to pay more than ten times the £30m per show. season that it had spent during its relationship with the league.

“Amazon chose not to be involved,” the report said. “Their nice little package of 20 games was no longer available when the Premier League ran their auction last year, with the smallest available offering 56 games a season bought by TNT. The other four packages predictably went to Sky, Premier The League’s longest ally.”

“A union between the Premier League and Amazon should create long-term competition and open the door for more streaming platforms to inject new life into the market. Instead, it’s back to the old guard of Sky and TNT, whose financial commitments are still insurmountable.”

For some football fans, the availability through Amazon Prime was the only way they could watch live Premier League matches at home. Millions of households have a Prime subscription as part of their monthly/yearly budgeting for shopping purposes and this was a huge bonus.

Amazon has also been very liberal in offering free trials during this time to try and win new memberships. It will disappear after today and you will need access to TNT or Sky to watch any live Premier League football from next season.

However, there will be 270 of the total 380 games available to watch live. That’s a record.
