Amazon secures rights to broadcast Champions League games in UK

Amazon will broadcast Champions League football in the UK for the first time after securing a deal which begins in 2024.

BT previously had exclusive rights to the prestigious tournament but will now be shared with Amazon.

Prime Video, Amazon’s streaming platform, has secured the rights to broadcast the Tuesday night top-pick matches of the Champions League for three seasons from 2024-25. BT Sport retain all other UK rights, including the final.

“The addition of UEFA Champions League football is a truly momentous moment for Prime Video in the UK,” said Alex Green, MD Prime Video Sport Europe.

“Since 2018, we’ve seen millions of Prime members in the UK enjoy live sport on Prime Video, and it’s that passion and energy that has led us to this exciting next step.

“We can’t wait to bring fans the headline fixture of European football’s most prestigious competition every Tuesday and we’ll have more details to share about our broadcast in the future.”
