No Premier League on my Amazon Prime app on my TV last night. I went on chat and told them I was in The UK and about one minute later I was watching the Arsenal v Brighton match and after the result I decided to uninstall it.

Does the screen change to show the games on the landing page?

Is everyone who is successful in getting it changed using some virtual bank card or anything I've been trying all night and keep him getting struck down because my billing address on the card is ROI up to that point they have no problem changing it but at the end say they can't unless I have a UK billing address

I used a Revolut card and they never questioned it . Not sure if they would have access to the billing address on the card.

My billing address on my Revolut card is ROI in the app and it works fine, the billing address tied to your card in the 1 click settings on Amazon itself is the one you need to check.

I posted this in one of the other amazon BA threads:

All you need:

• your account region set to UK
• your home & 1-click address set to your parcel motel one
• your 1-click credit card set to Revolut with billing address as parcel motel.

You will also need to get on to amazon to switch the region to UK at their end too.

It changes the interface and all upcoming games and shows are visible.

I changed my main address to AddressPal address but not my credit card.
Got on there online chat, said I couldn't access Prime Video content( never mentioned football) Was asked where was I resident. I said UK. Where was I right now. I said UK. He changed settings on both my fire sticks and told me to reboot. Watching the match 60 seconds later. I thanked the nice man and he told me enjoy the match

This did it for me - I use a VPN which sets my location to UK for BBC iplayer.
Disabled it and now the footy works on prime!"

My 1 click setting were never enabled ( still ain't ) and they switched it over without issue. I just needed to put in a UK address and that was enough.

Maybe it depends on who you get in Amazon.

They advertise it on their website without stating that it is geo restricted. When I login I still see it advertised but am unable to access as geo restricted.

They should not be advertising a service they know they cannot provide.

Yes, but the website is Amazon.co.uk. They don't have an Irish site and aren't falsely advertising it being available to Irish customers. Of course they are going to advertise it on Amazon.uk site as majority of customers are UK based and able to access the service with no issue.

That worked! Thank you! Amended all the details as suggested and Amazon changed my region via the customer services chat.

For anyone that has it working without a VPN, does your Prime Video location still show up as Ireland?
The support guy said he migrated my account to UK but Prime Video still says Ireland... is there a way to verify whether the football will work or not?

Stupid question but where do you find the Amazon chat function?

Site name / location is irrelevant. They are advertising a service in Ireland that they know they cannot provide. If they can geo block the service then they should geo block the advertising of same service.

Where have you seen them advertise watching Premier League games in Ireland?

They didn't advertise it in Ireland.

Have tried Amazon Chat a few times, but all CS reps insist that I have a registered UK payment card and UK billing address.
Any easy way to do this (I don't have a Revolut account).
TIA

Sign up for revolut, you get a digital card immediately and you get a few quid for signing up too. Referral codes thread has loads of codes or pm if you need one

Edit set your address to parcel motel in the UK

You need to speak with a prime video representative when you chat with amazon. Only they can sort you out.

Had the same issue and they sorted me no questions asked

It will be a nuisance if you have to contact Amazon CS every time you switch back account details to RoI

Wtf are you people doing?

I opened the prime video page on Wednesday evening at halftime for the Liverpool game and couldn't see the PL games. I opened a chat asking to be allowed. A rep answered and within 5 mins had me sorted. I've since ordered from amazon to my Irish address no problems and the prime PL is still showing.

Irish bank card registered, no revolut. No cocking about with addresses. No vpn active.

These stories about "this is how you get PL on prime in Ireland" are bollocks.
