Amazon buys Premier League broadcast rights from 2019

Premier League games will be streamed on Amazon from the 2019/20 season after the US tech giant purchased one of the remaining rights packages.

Sky Sports and BT Sport will continue to broadcast games after buying the rights to 160 matches for almost £4.5bn earlier this year, but they will do so alongside Amazon, who will show 20 matches per season.

They have moved to secure one of the two remaining packages with BT buying up the other for £90m. From August 2019 they will now show 52 games per season with Sky 128.

A statement read: “Every Premier League club will be featured across two full rounds of 20 matches per season, including Bank Holiday fixtures, plus weekly highlights throughout the season.”
