[Mis à jour le 20 juillet 2022 à 13h29] The start of the 2022-2023 Ligue 1 season is fast approaching. See you on August 6, 2022 to follow the first match on the program will be Lyon-Ajaccio. It will be to follow on Amazon Prime via its “Pass Ligue 1”. Like last season, the Amazon Prime service will broadcast 8 of the 10 matches each day, including the famous Sunday night poster. The price of the standard subscription remains unchanged: 12.99 euros per month without commitment in addition to the subscription to the Prime service (50 euros per year).
Be careful, Amazon has prepared a little surprise for this new season with the launch of a “season” offer!

For this new 2022-2023 season, it is once again via the Amazon Prime Video subscription that French football fans will be able to discover 80% of Ligue 1 matches, i.e. the matches that Médiapro had purchased before ending up in default of payment. in 2021. To be precise, this represents 8 matches broadcast on Amazon Prime Video per day of the Ligue 1 championship, including all the most beautiful posters. Amazon has globally recovered the old Médiapro-Téléfoot contract with 8 matches broadcast each day out of the 10 on the program. Amazon Prime Video offers especially the biggest poster of the day of Ligue 1, usually Sunday evening. OM-PSG, PSG-Lyon Monaco-Marseille, Lens-PSG, Marseille-Lyon or Lille-PSG should therefore be broadcast on Amazon each time. Matches will be commented live. Smail Bouabdellah and Julien Brun, passed by BeIN Sports, will be in particular for the comments.

The Ligue 1 Pass free trial offer is over. From August 1 to 29, 2021, for the launch of the offer, each Amazon Prime Video subscriber could test the Prime Ligue 1 offer for seven days in order to discover the platform dedicated to French football. Since August 29, 2021, however, it is no longer possible to give it a try with the free trial, the offer having expired… You must therefore now subscribe to access the matches but the offer remains without commitment and therefore cancellable at any time.
This is one of the issues that subscribers to streaming services are particularly fond of, multi-screen viewing is very important for potential customers.
