(Pocket-lint) – Amazon Prime Video will start showing selected UEFA Champions League matches live in the UK from the 2024-25 season, with the BBC also getting the rights to broadcast highlights,

The current sole UK rights holder, BT Sport, will also continue to broadcast live matches, although not as much as before.

The agreement reached by Amazon allows you to select the matches on Tuesday night from the group stage to the semifinals, or twenty in total. BT Sport will continue to broadcast matches on Wednesday night, as well as other matches to be played on Tuesday.

Unfortunately, it will be more difficult (and potentially more expensive) to follow your team’s achievements in the competition, if you want to watch the action live anyway. However, the deal with the BBC means UK fans will be able to watch the Champions League on terrestrial television for free for the first time in many years.
