AMAZON Prime proved a success in its first round of games in December – is now back for Boxing Day coverage.
The streaming giants have the rights to show 20 Premier League fixtures this month, and offered a stellar showing in the first midweek of December.
Premier League football is back for a bumper Boxing Day, with nine games available to watch online on Thursday, and one on Friday.
It is a part of a £90million deal Amazon signed with the Premier League to show 20 matches a season in the UK for the next three years.
How can I watch it?
Existing and new Prime members can watch the Premier League games on a wide range of devices.
This includes the Prime Video app, across mobile, Fire TV, games consoles, Virgin’s V6 TV Box, BT TV, TalkTalk TV, Apple TV, Chromecast and online.
Fans can even watch the action on Prime Video in 4K Ultra HD at no extra cost.
What are the tech requirements?
To watch Amazon Prime you need a minimum 1mb broadband connection to stream one game at a time in standard definition.
As the quality increases, so does the strain on your internet connection – and it’s advisable to have an unlimited package with your ISP.
Whilst you’ll need a 4mb connection to stream in HD or 25mb (preferably Fibre) to watch in 4K Ultra HD.
Many Smart TV’s have the Prime app built in – make sure you’re connected via Wifi or an Ethernet cable to get the best out of your connection and avoid potential buffering issues.
