The Premier League on Amazon Prime: how to watch for free this Boxing Day

Amazon’s live Premier League fixtures are here again. All the Boxing Day and 27 December fixtures are available on Prime.

There will then be a second Gameweek’s worth of games around Boxing Day as in previous years. And as before, you can watch these games at no extra cost to Prime members. So if you’ve got a Fire TV streaming stick or one of the numerous Prime Video apps on a smart TV, you can watch it. Note that if you’re in the US, the rights are held by NBC Sports as with any other Premier League games.

Following the Premier League can feel like a constant struggle, and we’re not talking about the end result. Once, all games could be viewed on, dare we say it, a single subscription.

Now, a number of services vie for the 12-24 month contracts of the average football fan and things will change again next season (2025-2026) when Amazon will no longer be involved. Under the current deal, Prime members get access to 20 Premier League games throughout the season.

Premier League games are available for Prime members in the UK, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. Again, if you’re in the US, then rights are held by NBC Sports as usual.

How much does it cost?

Nothing, sort of. Current Prime account holders can watch those 20 fixtures at no extra cost. For non-Prime customers, a monthly membership costs £8.99, or £85 for the year, which includes access to free next-day deliveries and exclusive Amazon shows.

For those who’ve never shelled out for premium Amazon or have an email address that hasn’t been linked to an Amazon account, then all games are available to watch as part of a handy 30-day free trial.

What can I watch the Premier League on Prime through?

Whether planning to watch at home or ignore daily responsibilities on the move, Premier League matches on Prime are essentially available on every single device imaginable.

So that means you can watch on Amazon Fire TV, Fire tablet and on over 650 connected devices via the Prime Video app. Prime Video is also compatible with set top boxes and media players, such as Google Chromecast and BT TV, Sky Q, Now TV and Apple TV, smart TVs and phones running iOS and Android.

How can I access it in the Prime Video app?

The Prime Video app will host all matches under its ‘live and upcoming events’ option. Alternatively, a link can be found by navigating from the Amazon homepage to Prime Video, where ‘live and upcoming events’ will be available. Searching for ‘Premier League’ on the Prime Video app or Amazon homepage will also do the job.
