You can't get decent films on Prime without paying extra, so I'd be surprised if they offer football games as standard.

There are loads of decent films on Amazin Prime..! Not blockbusters either. The Amazon Prima algorithm sucks though.

Blimey

It's gonna be two full rounds of games per season. One midweek and one bank holiday.

And they've spent £90m on it.

I couldn't find any. I had the free trial and I didn't manage to watch a single thing.

This is a different subject but you can. Just order everything 'No Rush' and you get given £1 each delivery. Soon adds up.

Not paid to rent a film off Amazon for a long time.

BT spent 90 for their 20 game package. I think Amazon will have paid a fraction of that. As the most 1 user will be able to view is 4-5 games if it's 2 full gameweeks.

I think the premier league wanted to dip their toe in the streaming world, This package suits them both

Amazon are going to rule the world soon.

I'd say Netflix is better for Original content, but Amazon is best for films.

This list shows how many decent films they have (ok, there is some tripe, but award winning films like Manc by sea, Moonlight etc went onto Am Prime fairly quickly. Then new films like Borg McEnroe, Logan Lucky, Room, Lion fairly quickly. Along with loads of classics 'End of the watch, Apocalypse, Heat now etc etc.

Yeah I do this all the time - credit builds up very quickly

Amazon have got boxing day games and another midweek package. Usually pretty low quality ties/games unless the league throw them some but then sky/BT will complain as they have first dibs on games?

100% this isn't about the money. Both are dabbling in new territories and sharing the risk makes sense. It is the way the world is going.

The PL rights in Australia are already exclusively owned by one of the Aussie tele-communications companies (Optus) who are backed by Singtel. The games are only viewable if you are a customer of theirs and can only be watched via their app or their streaming box service.

These companies are just going to start buying up the rights to sporting deals like these to offer customer incentives to their products. Optus in Australia have used it as a tool to drive massive increases in market share, while also offering a really versatile tool which offers all of the PL produced content on demand and all games on demand.

makes sense as Singtel owes the rights to the PL in Singapore.
