No some will be played at the same time. It’s a round of midweek fixtures in December and the Boxing Day games.Tweet

Interesting way to do it. Using up their 20 game quota in two gameweeks.
Surely all 20 games will be played at different times for maximum exposure?
No look at the dates. Midweek and post-Christmas. All weekdays.Wow so they're showing 3PM kick off games?
Nope, 3-5th Dec midweekWow so they're showing 3PM kick off games?
You do know it's possible to turn those notifications off, right?Big fan of sky/bt having competition but all of these games will be shown with a 45 second delay due to them being streams.
Might not sound like much but I really struggle to watch delayed streams knowing that you can get a notification from your phone at any time with a goal.
Yes, very hard to ignore WhatsApp groups though. I’m sure plenty others are in the same boat.You do know it's possible to turn those notifications off, right?
Mute your WhatsApp groupsYes, very hard to ignore WhatsApp groups though. I’m sure plenty others are in the same boat.
Surely someone is going to contest the 15:00 kick off rule at some point? It seems fecking bizarre this day and age to still have it.All for it. It´s the start of a new era.
They do a month's free trial so sign up for that and you get both games for freeCan see some being annoyed at the boxing day game being on prime. Especially if you've already forked out for Sky and BT.
Clever from Amazon though, get people on for the christmas period where they might see value in prime and then see if you keep them with other offerings.

Yeah I’m with Skills here.Mute your WhatsApp groups
Also, and I know I'm being radical here, it's eminently possible to either just silence the phone entirely, or even leave it in another room. It's not an indispensable tool for watching football (unless you support a Van Gaal team of course).Mute your WhatsApp groups
It´s strange to say the least.Surely someone is going to contest the 15:00 kick off rule at some point? It seems fecking bizarre this day and age to still have it.
Unless they’re at the game they’ll be watching on the same streams though.Yes, very hard to ignore WhatsApp groups though. I’m sure plenty others are in the same boat.
Other countries will be ahead.Unless they’re at the game they’ll be watching on the same streams though.
True.Other countries will be ahead.
What?Other countries will be ahead.
I only struggle with it for gambling purposes but now I'm used to watching streamsBig fan of sky/bt having competition but all of these games will be shown with a 45 second delay due to them being streams.

This. You should be able to select a package with only your teams matches as well. Like the NBA game pass or something.Prime is an absolute bargain anyway so this is a nice little bonus.
Wish the PL would stop living in the stone-age, remove the 3pm rule and just stream all games on a service.
It's not the Premier League, its an old government ruling. It was put in place to prevent attendances from dropping due to the expansion of televised games.Prime is an absolute bargain anyway so this is a nice little bonus.

Yeah I just don't know why they haven't done it.This. You should be able to select a package with only your teams matches as well. Like the NBA game pass or something.
Other countries will be broadcasting as usual. UK will be on 20-30 seconds delay because of the streaming.What?
Yeah I know mate, but it's a stupid ruling that the FA/PL need to fight.It's not the Premier League, its an old government ruling. It was put in place to prevent attendances from dropping due to the expansion of televised games.
No one is forcing the PL to have half a dozen games at 3pm on Saturdays though.It's not the Premier League, its an old government ruling. It was put in place to prevent attendances from dropping due to the expansion of televised games.
Agreed. American sports are so far ahead in terms of monitizing the online streaming. I pay 130 a year for NFL gamepass and it’s so good.This. You should be able to select a package with only your teams matches as well. Like the NBA game pass or something.
The time will come, when the money starts to dry up. I think the next lot of TV rights bidding will be telling, the domestic rights will probably start to fall in revenue.Yeah I know mate, but it's a stupid ruling that the FA/PL need to fight.
And European. It's literally only the UK getting fecked by it and paying way more than anyone else does to watch less football.It´s strange to say the least.
At the same time all the American broadcasters show these matches.
America have local blackouts too though.Then i’m sat using a dodgy stream from somewhere in Asia to watch United on a Saturday 3pm kick off despite being less than 5 miles from Old Trafford. Mental
