Amazon to show football games

Khalekan · June 7, 2018

Amazon will be streaming EPL games from the start of the 2019/20 season.

Including, apparently, all the Boxing Day matches.

FIRST

So basically its cheaper to go to the pub to watch the match now.

All the first round of midweek games and all of the boxing day games.

Netflix next.

Average transfer fee to hit £75mn and wages £150pw in the very near futures.

Ticket prices won't come down though.

It's good if it means Sky get some more competition, as Yid says though it's nothing good for the fans. I'm a prime fan so I'm happy.

Odd one this, basically Amazon will show live football 2 days of the year

For regular Amazon customers like me who have thought about Prime but not bought it, this may swing it.

A good ploy by them.

I'm led to believe Jeff Bezos is a massive blues fan btw

Or likes the colour blue at least

Amazon, won’t all the trees get in the way?

We have had every epl game streamed live in Australia for a couple of seasons now, and it is great. It was always on foxtel (our equivalent of sky) which meant a subscription of about $70 per month, you now get it included free on a $40 per month phone plan.

As long as the price of Prime doesn’t change I have no issue at all with this.

The fans have been sold down the river!

For 2 games?

Just means more and better "rivers" to find

Sad day for English football, we now have to purchase three separate packages if we want to watch all the games and yet some dumbasses seem to think this is better for the fans lol.

The “big 6” will now also be given even more money than the rest of the league as well thanks to their crying.

Oh and we are also now on the verge of agreeing a mid season break and no more Christmas football so all the poor multi millionaires don’t have to work so hard at Christmas.

Pathetic
