    Amazon Prime are screening some premier league games on Prime video which began with Man city vs Burnley this eve and they will have both Utd and Liverpool games tomorrow 4th Dec.
    You need a prime subscription in order to watch but Amazon offer a 30 free trial so that gets the Xmas games in also.
    There is also the option to cast from phone to a compatible tv for big screen viewing!
    Don't forget to cancel within the 30 day period as you will automatically be subscribed and charged for prime afterwards.
    Other prime benefits are also available around deliveries, tv, books etc.

    Enjoy

    It wasn't for me, I watched and cast the game earlier and didn't make any changes to my account in any way.

    Contact amazon support and just ask them to change your prime video region to uk,. They will do it straight away no questions asked. This will also unlock a bigger prime video library. Was watching the city game on prime tonight myself.

    Will you miss anything on the IRL version not on the UK?

    I could watch the games on the desktop PC but wasnt interested in this. When I used the fire TV stick I couldnt get them at all despite having access to their full Prime library. Tried Amazon support and unusually it was a disaster

    I was asked where I was currently. I answered UK. They said OK. So they did ask a question, but that was it.

    Done it earlier but it was like the Spanish Inquisition with the assistant I got on Chat! They eventually changed it after a lot of hesitance.

    Is it working for you? I was onto them for nearly an hour, everything they did just didn't work for me

    Just go onto the chat and tell them you have moved to the UK.

    If they look for an address just use your parcel motel address.

    3 of us did it yesterday and we can watch the all prime UK content

    I did it a few months ago but maybe now they just check your in the UK, either way handy enough to get changed. See points about firesticks not working I wonder are they region locked, I'm using prime on a Nvidia shield

    I set my location to the U.K. and when I use a VPN I can also access BBC iPlayer on the Amazon box. I had to turn off the VPN to watch the soccer last night though

    Live chat will switch you over the English version which is much better.

    Apparnetly you can just click this link:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/mycd

    Then go into Preferences and just change your location.

    That above link is gotten to by clicking your account up the top right and clicking "Manage My Content and Devices"

    Getting onto chat didn't go well for me. What i have is Prime Video free from Eir for 12 months and there was no way of getting around it on chat with two different people telling me what settings to change. They kept referring to me purchasing a NON UK prime video subscription so unless I choose a Prime UK Video subscription they cannot help.

    Dont think that will work, mine was set to UK but when I logged into Prime video it had message saying to go to Amazon.com to see list of Republic of Ireland content. Got it changed on the Amazon chat and the message was gone. I was also able to check that the location was changed by going to primevideo.com as when you login it asks you to select you region.

    Another tip for you, if you sign up to the Audible 30 day trial as a Prime customer you get two free audiobooks of your choice (it's only one audiobook for non-prime customers). When you then cancel out of that 30 day trial they give you another audiobook of your choice to entice you to stay. You then pick the audiobook and cancel anyway. So 3 audiobooks for diddly squat. Even with your Audible subscription cancelled you can still listen to the books through the Audible app. They also had an offer on for the last few days where the monthly subscription for Audible was dropped down to 3.99 for 4 months which I actually signed up to so I suppose it's worth it on their end as they now have me as a paying customer. And from my point of view I got 4 audiobooks (got another one as soon as I signed up at 3.99 per month) worth 100 euro for 3.99


    As for the football, I did a live chat with Amazon last night and the rep changed me over straight away even though I was naive enough to tell him I lived in Ireland.

    How do I confirm its switched over?
    I logged in with my browser and it didn't give me any messages about region. But I couldn't find any mention of the premier league.

    Gonna get back onto Amazon...

    I change my location to the UK as I have an address over there but my IP is still an Irish IP so it goes by that and doesn't work.

    I only changed it in setting I didn't speak to anyone, I don't know if that makes a difference.
