News
Despite initially being an on-demand entertainment platform, Amazon has made significant forays into the world of sports live streaming in multiple territories in recent years. In the UK in particular, Prime Video now airs live coverage of the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 via its pay-per-view service.
Which football competitions does Amazon Prime Video show?
Prime Video has boosted its profile in the UK among football fans in recent years since it acquired the rights to have first pick of Tuesday night UEFA Champions League games until the quarter-finals of the competition.
Since losing those rights, Amazon Prime Video has continued to offer Ligue 1 fans the chance to watch live matches via pay-per-view without even needing a Prime subscription.
The best TV packages to get Amazon Prime Video
There are no TV packages, per se, for Amazon Prime Video, as it’s a live-streaming-only service. However, there are different types of subscriptions.
A subscription to Amazon Prime costs £5.99 a month as a standalone service. It can also be acquired alongside Amazon Prime for 8.99 per month. Alternatively, you can save some money by opting for the £95 annual subscription.
For that, you get the regular benefits of Prime (free delivery, etc) but also access to Prime Video, and in turn, top-flight football from across some of Europe's most football-mad countries.
On top of their basic subscription, which includes those aforementioned Ligue 1 and Bundesliga games, Prime Video also allows subscribers to add the TNT Sports platform to their existing subscriptions for an extra £25.99 a month on a 12-month contract.

Even if you don’t reside in the UK, you can access Prime Video football live streams wherever you are, with the help of a VPN. What’s more, with Prime Video holding football media rights across several territories, British consumers might be intrigued to check out what Amazon Prime Video has to offer elsewhere in terms of live football.
Assuming you have checked the rules and regulations regarding VPNs where you are and done your due diligence regarding the best VPN to go with, there’s little stopping you from accessing football live streams on Amazon Prime Video, wherever you may be.

Pros and Cons of Amazon Prime Video
The best thing about Prime Video is that it is contract-free and can be cancelled at any time. This enables many fans in the UK to use the service to follow the football when they want, and then be done with the service until it is needed again.
The downside could be the limited number of top football competitions covered on the service.
