Why the Premier League football is not on Sky or TNT this week

You may be confused why midweek games are not being shown on Sky Sports or TNT this week. That is because every game on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday will instead be live streamed on Amazon Prime Video.

Ipswich take on Crystal Palace and Leicester welcome West Ham United on Tuesday, followed by six games on Wednesday including Newcastle versus Liverpool and Arsenal against Manchester United. A further two games will be played on Thursday but none of them will be shown on traditional channels.

Amazon has secured the rights to just two match weeks of Premier League game and this week is the first of the season to be streamed on the platform. The second match week to be shown on Amazon will be on Boxing Day and 27 December, meaning anybody who takes a month-long free trial today can actually watch all 20 games set to be shown on the platform.

The good news for fans is that every single game this week will get its own host, pundit team and commentators for a more in-depth look at each game. The hosts include Dan Walker and Gabby Logan, while guests include Dimitar Berbatov, Theo Walcott, Graham Potter and Robbie Fowler in what is a star-studded lineup.

There is another bonus for those who take up an Amazon Prime Video subscription to watch the latest round of Premier League games. Broadcasting legend Jeff Stelling will host a live ‘goals’ show in Amazon’s take on the iconic Soccer Saturday show, allowing fans to see goals as they go in across the Premier League.
