Amazon Prime Video Ends Premier League Coverage this Week: Find Out Why

Premier League fans, mark your calendars! The final games of Amazon Prime Video’s Premier League coverage will be on December 26 and 27, so don’t miss out on the action. This marks the end of Amazon’s six-year run of streaming two full Premier League match days each season. The Christmas week fixtures will feature eight games on Boxing Day and two more the following day, giving fans one last chance to enjoy exclusive live coverage on Prime Video with no blackout times.

In the upcoming seasons, starting from 2025-2026, Premier League broadcasts will be split between Sky Sports and TNT Sports (formerly BT Sport). Unfortunately, Amazon’s 20-game package was not part of the latest rights auction, leading to the conclusion of their unique coverage. The decision not to bid more than £30 million per season ultimately left Amazon out of the loop for future Premier League games. As the rights shifted back to traditional broadcasters, the hope for increased competition among streaming platforms fizzled out.

For many football fans, having access to live Premier League games through Amazon Prime Video was a convenient and budget-friendly option. Prime memberships were an essential part of their shopping routine, and watching football games was a valuable bonus. However, starting next season, supporters will need access to Sky or TNT to catch the games legally from home. Both broadcasters offer a significant number of live games, with up to 270 out of 380 available to watch.

As Amazon’s involvement with Premier League coverage comes to an end, football enthusiasts will have to adjust to the changing landscape of televised sports. But fear not, there are still plenty of exciting matches to look forward to on Premier League broadcasters. So tune in and enjoy the beautiful game, with or without Amazon Prime Video.
