Football fans were left gutted as Amazon Prime's omission from Premier League broadcasting means Ally McCoist will likely not feature in any domestic coverage. <\/p>\n
The former Scottish international is one of the most popular co-commentators in the business and is a regular when the streaming platform broadcasts Premier League matches. However, Amazon lost all of their broadcasting rights from the 2025\/26 season onwards, as the Premier League gave more games to TNT Sport and Sky Sports.<\/p>\n
The new deal is worth an eye-watering \u00a36.7billion. Nevertheless, despite the new broadcast deal being celebrated by the division, some fans were left disappointed Amazon were omitted from the new deal.<\/p>\n

"Goodbye to the ultimate duo of Jon Champion and Ally McCoist and hello to more boring commentary\u2026 Gonna have to start watching the football on mute," one disgruntled fan said.<\/p>\n
"No more Barclays Coisty\u2026 Jeff Bezos you are truly evil," another added, taking the option to spit some venom at the owner of Amazon. "Amazon have none of the rights from 25\/26 to 28\/29. We\u2019re going backwards," a third also added.<\/p>\n

Prime Video is available as part of the Amazon Prime membership, which costs \u00a38.99 per month or \u00a395 annually for an individual.<\/p>\n
The membership gives access to all the perks of Amazon Prime (including free Premium and Same- Day Delivery in selected residential postcodes, and other benefits) plus the full library of content available through Prime Video. <\/p>\n
Prime also offers a discounted membership, Prime Student for higher education students.<\/p>\n
You can also sign-up for Prime Video on its own for \u00a35.99 per month, however, you won\u2019t get the other benefits that come with Prime \u2014 like free One-Day Delivery and Same-Day Delivery on eligible orders and fast grocery delivery and pickup.<\/p>\n
\u00a35.99 per month for Prime Video only, or \u00a38.99 per month for Amazon Prime membership<\/p>\n
A fourth also aimed some frustration at the 3pm blackout remaining, by writing: "So the pre-historic 3pm TV black out stays…..no more Amazon which probably had the best coverage showing that all games on at the same time with full access worked fine." <\/p>\n
The new deal will see Sky Sports show 215 Premier League matches a season for four years, starting in the 2025\/26 campaign. TNT Sports will show 52 matches per season over the course of the same period. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sky Sports pundits Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville celebrated the new deal by sharing a mocked up poster of their faces photo-shopped onto the cover of iconic comedy movie Dumb and Dumber. Of the 215 matches, Sky have said more than 140 will be played at weekends, including Friday nights.<\/p>\n
They will also get the first pick of the weekend matches while also maintaining the 4.30pm Super Sunday slot they are known for. <\/p>\n
