Saturday 3pm Blackout Explained

The famous 3pm blackout prevents live broadcasts of any matches kicking off between 2:45pm and 5:15pm on Saturdays. This rule aims to encourage attendance at lower-league games rather than watching Premier League matches on TV. For those wanting to follow these games live, radio commentary on BBC Radio 5 Live or highlights on YouTube and the Sky Sports app after 5:15pm are good alternatives.

Is Amazon Prime Video Still Showing Premier League?

Amazon Prime Video no longer holds UK rights for live Premier League matches from the 2025-26 season onward. Traditional broadcasters like Sky Sports now cover key festive fixtures. Amazon remains important for European football, streaming the prime Tuesday match in the UEFA Champions League.

New Simultaneous Sunday Kick-Offs

With the displaced match blackout ending, every Premier League fixture outside the Saturday 3pm slot is broadcast live. On Super Sundays, multiple matches often start simultaneously at 2pm. Sky Sports offers options like Multiview on Sky Glass, Sky Stream, and its app to watch up to four games on one screen. Dedicated channels and Red Button services provide individual commentary for each match.
