Amazon will show 20 Premier League matches a season for three years from 2019, after winning one of the final two broadcast packages.

you will get the matches with Prime.
the two packages are just before Christmas and boxing day.
amazon will get a mass of folks signing up for a free 30 day trial to cover those dates.
then when people forget to cancel , they'll get a years subscription.
no way amazon will cover the costs of this, but as others say, dipping a toe. In the future except to see it not covered by Prime, or Prime to be ££££ more.

This is not good news. Internet sport is not live. It runs about 3 mins behind reality. Keep sport live.

After paying over a £100 to travel and watch the 0-0 bore-draw against Man Utd, I’d quite happily spend less to watch it from the comfort of my home

I can see no benefit to fans.
Are they going to want to move game times around? Bet they do when they want to sell it overseas.
Of course I'd love see some games on free to air, but what is the justification?

Getting quite complicated to watch all the games now. Not really I terested in streaming services doing football, it's always in quite poor quality despite their UHD claims.

Why would any of this be to benefit the fan?

I presume they'll mange to split the 10 game packages into at least three chunks, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

So people would have to pay another subscription to watch all televised games?
In what way is splitting up the rights like this beneficial to fans in any way?
At least some of the games should be given to free to air channels

VH, You have to pay extra for NBC Gold though. I was pissed off losing extra time on the tv. Someone told me over there that the premier league weren't too happy with what NBC did after buying the rights.

We get every single game here through NBC; either live on TV or streamed through NBC Gold.

Luckily I'm subscribed to the site use fka Live onlie Footie.
best investment I ever made even if they hiked up the price last season. And no they ain't taking any more subscribers.
They also cottoned on to multiple users on one account a few years ago. Clever guys. Someone told me they're West Ham.
I think I took it out in 2006. I seem to remember watching us against Palmero in my Kaunas appartment.

They need to do what the Americans do for NFL Games, if 90% of the ground is sold out put the game on TV for a price, everyone makes money and us supporters get to see games live that we cant now

One set will be over a Bank Holiday. The other will be a mid week set. Dipping there toe into the pond. May and try and break Sky’s stranglehold on it. In a couple of years time.?

Blimey, 10 on at the same time...
Steps are being made to just televise all games it seems. About time too.

Only two matchdays though. So two sets of 10 games probably all on at the same time.

They include NFL games in the US with their prime membership, mallard.
Sign yourself up to an online course, become a STUDENT, and get an NUS card and you'll get your membership even cheaper.
