Amazon will make its four Premier League matches in the remainder of the 2019-20 season free to air.

The English top flight has set a provisional restart date of June 17, with all 92 matches due to be televised.

Sky Sports has announced 25 of its 64 matches will be free to air on its Pick channel, while the BBC has the rights to screen four games on terrestrial TV.

Amazon has now set out its plans for the 2019-20 season.

“Like the rest of the country, we are excited to see the Premier League return to action,” said Alex Green, MD Prime Video Sport Europe.

“We will be making all four of Amazon Prime Video’s additional fixtures in the 2019-20 season available free of charge; fans will not need a Prime membership to view the games on Prime Video.”
