Amazon Prime confirm deal to show Champions League games in UK
Amazon will broadcast the Champions League in the UK for the first time after securing a deal which kicks off in 2024.
www.standard.co.ukHere's what I can share based on the latest available reporting I can access right now.
- Prime Video has been active in carrying UEFA Champions League content in multiple markets, notably the UK, with deals that place a top-pick Tuesday match on Prime Video on a live basis through successive seasons. This arrangement is often described as exclusive for the featured Tuesday game, with other rights continuing to be held by local partners for different windows.[2][7]
- In recent years, Prime Video’s Champions League coverage has been accompanied by growth in viewership in the UK and Europe, and the service has experimented with enhancements such as data-driven graphics and additional production features to deepen engagement with fans.[7][9]
- There are ongoing announcements about renewals and expansions of rights (e.g., extending blocks through multiple seasons and potentially adding more match windows or regions), although specifics can vary by country and season and may be updated after this briefing.[4][7]
Illustration: A typical arrangement splits the competition so that Prime Video shows one top pick match on Tuesday nights (often the marquee fixture), while other matches and finals may be shared or handled by BT Sport or other broadcasters depending on the region and season.[1][2]
If you’d like, I can look up the exact current rights for your specific country (United States, UK, Germany, Italy, etc.) or provide a concise, up-to-date schedule for Prime Video’s Champions League coverage in your area. Please tell me your country or region and whether you want a schedule snapshot or a rights-summary.
