Champions League Shake-Up: Amazon Prime and BBC Join the Party
Get ready for a fresh spin on the Champions League! The biggest club competition in European football is about to get a major overhaul, and we’re excited to dive into the details. As of the 24/25 season, Amazon Prime and BBC will be joining the party, sharing broadcasting rights with TNT Sports.
For the first time ever, Amazon Prime will be showing 17 first-pick Champions League matches on Tuesday nights, including Liverpool’s opening fixture against AC Milan. This marks a significant shift in the way we consume the competition, with Amazon’s platform offering a unique viewing experience.
Meanwhile, BBC will be showing highlights of the competition with a special Wednesday edition of Match of the Day – the first time the Champions League has been shown on the BBC since 1994. This is a major coup for the BBC, and we’re excited to see how they’ll bring their signature analysis and commentary to the table.
But what does this mean for fans? For starters, it’s great news for those who’ve been crying out for more Champions League action on terrestrial TV. The BBC’s involvement will ensure that a wider audience can tune in and enjoy the competition, and Amazon’s platform will provide a fresh and exciting way to watch the games.
Of course, not everyone will be happy about the changes. TNT Sports, who have held exclusive rights to the Champions League since 2015, will still be showing the competition, but their involvement will be limited to the Europa League and Europa Conference League.
So, what’s next for the Champions League? With Amazon Prime and BBC on board, we can expect a more diverse and engaging viewing experience. And with the competition’s new format, which includes an increased number of teams and a singular group stage, we’re in for a thrilling ride.
