‘Game’s gone’ – Fuming fans just realising how much it costs to watch Nations League despite having Prime Video
FOOTBALL fans have been left fuming after realising how much they will need to pay to watch the Uefa Nations League.
Fans would have hoped to tune in tonight to watch Cristiano Ronaldo‘s Portugal take on Florian Wirtz‘s Germany in the first of the Nations League semi-finals tonight.
However, broadcaster Amazon Prime Video Sport had a nasty surprise for any fan wanting to watch.
That is because on top of needing to have an Amazon Prime Video subscription – which costs £95 per year or £8.99 a month – fans are also being forced to pay an extra cost.
Amazon announced in March that viewers would be able to watch Nations League games from £2.49, and they could be viewed without a subscription.
But coming to the matches this week, fans were left furious to learn the pay-per-view policy was active, even if you already had a subscription to the streaming platform.
Taking to social media, one fan said: “Btw that Germany game being on Amazon prime pay per view for £2.49 even when you have prime is a f***ing scam.”
A second said: “Amazon Prime charging £2.49 per game to watch Nations League and WC qualifiers loool we are so so cooked.”
A third added: “I can watch it on a stream but the fact Amazon Prime is charging £2.49 to watch a Nations League match is absurd.”
Another said: “£3 pay per view to watch the Nations League on Amazon Prime, a platform you already have to pay for. Games gone,” alongside an edited picture of Sean Dyche saying “Utter woke nonsense”.

A fifth said: “Ridiculous charging £2.49 to watch Nations League football! Especially when I already pay for Amazon Prime.”
A sixth added: “Sorry why are Amazon charging £2.49 to watch Germany v Portugal in the Nations League when I’ve got Amazon Prime? What a scam.”
