Nottingham Forest find out first two Premier League TV fixtures as Man Utd trip affected

Nottingham Forest have found out the first two of their Premier League matches that will be broadcast live on Amazon Prime Video this upcoming season.

Amazon are the top-flight's third broadcast partner and have the exclusive rights to televise 20 fixtures across the season. They are awarded Package F, which includes every match across two matchweeks.

One of which is guaranteed as falling on a Bank Holiday and another is a full midweek fixture programme. It has now been announced for the 2022/23 Premier League season that those two matchweeks will fall across October 18 and 19 as well as the traditional Boxing Day slot on December 26.

As the Reds are not one of the 10 teams picked to be shown live across the opening weekend, these two dates are the first two to be selected for live television coverage. First, on October 18, Steve Cooper and company's trip to Brighton and Hove Albion on a Tuesday night (19:45) will be shown live on Prime Video for those not able to make the long midweek trip to the south coast.

Another away trip to Manchester United the day after Christmas Day will also be shown live as part of a bumper festive selection. Kick-off times for Boxing Day have still yet to be determined with all 10 fixtures scheduled to start at 3pm as things stand.
