Premier League football all set for one huge change this Christmas

The Premier League is in line for an historic change this Christmas as Amazon are set to air every Boxing Day clash online for the first time ever.

This comes after the global technology giant secured a three-year deal to show 20 matches.

As part of a £90million package Amazon Prime will show all ten 3pm fixtures, as well as 10 games from the first round of midweek fixtures in December.

Sky Sports will still show the bulk of games, with the popular Monday Night Football programme set to continue as Sky will be televising 24 matches on Mondays, as well as some Friday night fixtures.

The British broadcaster will also televise 32 matches on Saturdays at 5.30pm, and eight 7.45pm kick offs.

This adds to the 64 matches set to be shown on 'Super Sundays' at both 2pm and 4.30pm.

While BT Sport will cover 32 matches on Saturdays at 12.30pm and an additional 20 midweek clashes throughout the campaign.

In order to watch Amazon's coverage fans must have access to a Prime membership.

A single months subscription will cost £7.99, while an annual pass will be £79.

The 2019/20 season will kick off on August 10, with Premier League fixtures set to be announced this Thursday.
