    You probably have the Irish catalog. Get onto them on chat and tell them you want UK content

    How do you get UK prime vs Irish prime...?

    Go to the online chat. Tell them you are in UK a lot with work and you use it then. Ask can they change your region to UK. Worked for me.

    Do you have to do anything other than ask them to switch it? Like pretend to be in the uk? use a uk address?

    If you've registered with Revolut just get onto Amazon chat and they'll do it straight away. If you get access to fleabag season 1 they've transferred you over.

    It's strange - I don't remember ever asking them to change me to the UK yet I have the games. No complaints though!

    Can't help I'm afraid. I had the Irish version, got onto chat and have now the UK one. Including the soccer tonight.
    Try to get onto live chat.

    On live chat at the moment and they say I'm on Primevideo.com and will need a UK payment card and billing address - any ideas how to get around this?

    They say they won't transfer my existing subscription over to UK version.

    My whole prime is messed up. I got them to swich me to the UK and it was working fine. Now it does not know if its in Ireland, UK or AMERICA. Keep getting ads for american football and showing me shows I can watch while travelling...:confused:

    Got on to live chat. Asked them to set my region to UK. No hassle all done they said.

    Still cannot see the games. Either on the app on phone or on the apple on Appe TV.

    Do I need to ask them to specifically set my Primevideo account to UK or my Amazon account in general. I thought they were linked.

    Bot of a joke Amazon would buy the rights for Ireland also. Not impressed at all.

    Premoer sports is as usual another rip off.

    Do Amazon have the rights for Ireland?

    You can blame the PL though, they were hawking these games around the streaming companies as a test bed. Apparently Netflix said no thanks.

    No nothing there. Although when I click on the link on how to view premiership games it is telling me its not available for my location. I'm going to get on to Live Chat again and ask them to chage the Primevideo location to UK.

    One other thing. I have the the free subscription as part of Eir Broadband package so maybe that's what's stopping it.

    I would say Amazon will clamp down on allowing ROI customers access fairly lively.

    The Highlights section is excellent on the iPad app. Scroll through the timeline and watch a video of any action that you might have missed.

    I think if you get the free prime with Eir you cant get the football. If you get switched to the uk you cant get the free Eir offer...
