The nation's favourite sport has a long-standing association with the festive period and this year will be no different. Many will brave the cold to take their seats in terraces up and down the country but the majority of fans will be watching either from a cosy pub or the comfort of the sofa.
Last year, the broadcaster had 20 fixtures, including eight on Boxing Day, but those looking to the platform for their top-flight fill over the festive period are going to be sorely disappointed, as there are no Premier League games on Amazon Prime Video over the Christmas period.
Why are there no matches on Amazon Prime Video this Christmas?
As of the start of the 2025/26 season, Amazon Prime Video no longer have the rights to show Premier League games.
A new TV rights deal came into effect at the start of the current campaign and the broadcaster has not won any of the packages that were on offer.
Sky Sports has four of the packages, totalling at least 215 games and TNT Sports will show 52 fixtures after securing the remaining package. Reports suggest that Amazon Prime Video opted against competing for any of the packages due, in part, to increased cost.
Instead, Sky Sports and TNT Sports will be the only places fans can watch live fixtures from the English top flight over the festive period, while Match of the Day will, of course, have highlights and analysis of all the fixtures.
Sky Sports + will feature more than 1,000 EFL games throughout the season and is included as part of Sky Sports packages.
