Amazon has been awarded the rights to show 20 matches per season for three seasons, starting in 2019-20.
Amazon Prime Video has acquired one of the two remaining packages of broadcast rights, taking a place alongside Sky Sports and BT Sport in showing Premier League games from the 2019-20 campaign onwards.
Amazon’s deal also includes the right to make available a full round of live Premier League matches, which has never been done before in the UK.
Five of the seven packages had initially been sold in February, with Amazon and BT Sport snapping up the remaining two packages this afternoon.
According to Premier League Chairman, “We are extremely pleased that Sky Sports, BT Sport and Amazon have invested in these rights and all view the Premier League and our clubs as vital parts of their live sports offerings.”
He further added, “Sky and BT are established Premier League partners and provide first-rate coverage of the competition through their live-match broadcasts and comprehensive programming. We welcome Amazon as an exciting new partner and we know Prime Video will provide an excellent service on which fans can consume the Premier League.
“The interest in our UK rights is testament to the fantastic competition delivered by our clubs. This outcome will support their continued efforts to put on the best possible football and use their popularity and reach to have a positive impact on the sport and beyond.”
