How to watch Amazon Prime's Premier League football through your TV

Premier League football continues on Amazon this Boxing Day with nine live games set to be shown throughout the course of the day.

The e-commerce giants entered the market for Premier League TV rights this season. It had previously been monopolised by Sky TV and BT TV.

Earlier this month, Amazon became the first broadcaster in English football history to simulcast mid-season games giving all fans of Premier League clubs the chance to watch their own team.

Among some of the highlights Amazon will have on Boxing Day are Liverpool's top of the table clash against Leicester at the King Power. The following day, December 27, Amazon will also have live coverage of Manchester City's match with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Gaining access to Amazon's coverage is as quick and easy as starting a free 30 day trial, but while that covers how to watch it doesn't answer where to watch .

Without their own channel, Amazon will be relying on their customers downloading the Amazon Prime Video app. Below we've listed the best ways to watch the upcoming games without resorting to having huddle around your small laptop screen.

  • Smart TV

The first thing to look for is whether you can download the Amazon Prime Video app directly to your Smart TV.

Find the App Store on your television and search for Amazon if it isn't already installed on your set. Once you've installed the app, you'll be prompted to enter your Amazon username and password and you're in.

  • Games Console

If your TV doesn't support the Amazon Prime Video app directly, you can download it to your games console and access it through there.

  • Streaming Device

One other option is to purchase a dedicated streaming device like the Google Chromecast or Amazon's very own streaming device, the Amazon Firestick.

Both the Chromecast and the Firestick are devices that plug into your TV and can then be accessed either by your mobile phone or their own dedicated remote control. Cyber Monday deals for both are currently live now.

  • Cable

While some of you may be comfortable watching the game on your laptop or PC, others may wish to look into purchasing a cheap plug-to-plug cable.

The cable you require is obviously dependent on your laptop. Many modern laptops are built with an HDMI port. Most are likely to require a DVI Adapter Cable.
