Amazon Prime Video carried 20 Premier League matches per season in the UK from 2019/20 through to the end of 2024/25. Those rights are gone. The new four-year domestic TV deal that started in 2025/26 split the Premier League between Sky Sports (215 matches) and TNT Sports (52 matches), with nothing left for Amazon. Prime members in the UK asking “how do I watch the Premier League on Amazon?” should know up front that the answer is no longer available.
What football is on Amazon Prime Video UK now
As of 2025/26, Amazon Prime Video UK carries no live Premier League, Champions League, Europa League, EFL, La Liga, Serie A, or Bundesliga. The football content left on the platform is:
- Selected documentary series — “All or Nothing” seasons on Arsenal, Manchester City, and Tottenham. These are on-demand only, not live.
- Football films — titles like “Diego Maradona”, “Pelé”, and various club documentaries available as rent or buy, and a small subset included with Prime.
- Live coverage outside the UK — Amazon Prime Video holds some football rights in other territories, but those are geo-restricted to viewers in those countries.
That is the full picture. Amazon is not currently a live football broadcaster in the UK.
What Amazon used to cover
For context on what you are no longer getting:
- Premier League 2019/20 to 2024/25 — 20 matches per season, typically one full Boxing Day round (10 matches live on the same day) and one full midweek round in early December
- Autumn Nations Cup, international rugby — various, since moved elsewhere
- US Open Tennis — Amazon carried the tournament until 2022, moved to Discovery+ thereafter
The 20 Premier League matches were the only football that made a Prime subscription attractive for live sports in the UK. They were cheap (Prime membership costs £8.99/month or £95/year, and the football was included) and watched by a big audience across devices.
Why the rights moved
The Premier League’s new domestic deal for 2025-2029 restructured the package. Sky bid more aggressively for the larger block of 215 matches and TNT Sports took 52. There was no smaller “streaming partner” slot in the new contract shape. Amazon, Apple, and DAZN were reportedly interested in the new cycle but did not take the package home.
The Premier League typically re-tenders rights every three to four years, so the situation could change in the next cycle. But for the 2025/26 to 2028/29 window, Amazon has no Premier League involvement.
Amazon Prime membership cost
Amazon Prime in the UK is still worth having for non-football reasons:
- Monthly: £8.99/month
- Annual: £95/year (works out at around £7.90/month)
- Prime Student: half price for verified students
What you get:
- Prime Video on-demand library (films, TV series, Amazon originals like “The Boys” and “Fallout”)
- Prime delivery on Amazon orders
- Prime Reading (rotating book selection)
- Amazon Music with Prime (ad-supported, limited library)
- Photo storage
For live football, you need Sky Sports or TNT Sports. Prime Video is not the answer.
Amazon in other countries
This matters if you travel or use VPNs:
- Prime Video Italy — Champions League rights for Tuesday matches
- Prime Video Germany — Champions League matches, selected rounds
- Prime Video USA — Thursday Night Football (NFL), not football (soccer) heavy
- Prime Video France — Ligue 1 coverage until 2024, now with DAZN and beIN Sports
These are legal to watch only from inside those countries on a genuine account. Using a VPN to fake location violates Amazon’s terms of service.
What Prime Video still does well for football fans
If you already have Prime for shopping or the wider streaming library, the football documentaries and films are a reasonable bonus:
- All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur — 2019/20 behind-the-scenes under José Mourinho
- All or Nothing: Manchester City — Pep Guardiola’s title-winning 2017/18 season
- All or Nothing: Juventus — 2017/18 season with Cristiano Ronaldo’s arrival
- All or Nothing: Arsenal — 2021/22 under Mikel Arteta during the “top-four race” period
- Diego Maradona — Asif Kapadia’s 2019 documentary
- Take Us Home: Leeds United — Marcelo Bielsa’s promotion campaign
Documentaries do not replace live football, but they are useful for rainy afternoons when no matches are on.
Free alternatives to Amazon for live football
With Amazon out of the live Premier League picture, the legal free options are:
- BBC iPlayer — Match of the Day highlights, FA Cup from quarter-finals onwards, England matches, some Women’s Super League games
- ITVX — FA Cup coverage shared with BBC, Europa League final shared with TNT Sports, England qualifiers, one Champions League match per midweek from 2024/25 onwards
These do not show live Premier League matches, but they do give you free highlights and some cup football.
How Amazon compares to Sky and TNT now
Not really comparable anymore. A Prime membership is for delivery and on-demand entertainment. Sky Sports and TNT Sports are for live football. If you cancelled your Prime expecting it to keep delivering Premier League, nothing was lost for football, because it was not delivering Premier League in 2025/26 anyway.
