When does Amazon Prime show Premier League matches?
Amazon does not broadcast Premier League matches throughout the season like Sky Sports or TNT Sports. Instead, Amazon holds the rights to two complete matchdays per season, where they show all 10 games from that round across consecutive days. These are some of the most watched fixtures of the season.
Matchday 1
December — Festive fixtures
Amazon’s main football window falls in mid-to-late December, covering one full round of Premier League fixtures. Games are typically spread across two or three consecutive days, with multiple matches airing on each day. This is often the most-watched Amazon PL window due to the festive schedule and high-profile fixtures.
Matchday 2
Late spring — season run-in
The second Amazon matchday typically falls in April or May during the final weeks of the season, when title, European qualification and relegation battles are at their most intense. Again, all fixtures from that round are broadcast across a few days.
✅ Our Premier League TV schedule is updated with confirmed broadcaster information — it will show when Amazon matches are confirmed for the season.
Is Amazon Prime worth it just for the football?
Honestly — no, not on its own. 20 matches across two specific periods is not enough coverage for a regular football viewer. But Amazon Prime is rarely just about football. If you already subscribe for:
🛒 Amazon shopping delivery, Prime Video films and series, Amazon Music — the football is effectively free on top of everything else. At £8.99/month it becomes excellent value when combined with your existing usage.
