This 2021-2022 season, it is therefore within 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. 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, Lyon-Saint-Etienne, Monaco-Marseille or even 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.
Here is a summary of how a day of Ligue 1 is structured on Amazon Prime Ligue 1:
- 1st game on Friday at 9 p.m.
- 2nd game on Saturday at 5 p.m.
- 3 matches on Saturday at 8 p.m.
- 6th game on Sunday at 1 p.m.
- 7th game on Sunday at 3 p.m.

Amazon Prime Video does not only broadcast Ligue 1 matches. Subscribers will be able to enjoy a 15-minute broadcast before and after each match. Half-time will also be an opportunity to look back on the first period with the help of statistics, replays and technical palettes analyzed by the consultants.

Subscribers will also be able to find all the matches in replay for 7 days.
Do we have access to Ligue 1 matches when we are only subscribed to Amazon Prime? The answer is no. This is an additional subscription. You do not automatically have access to the French championship if you are already an Amazon Prime subscriber. If you are interested in this addition, it will cost you the price of the additional option, an option called “Pass Ligue 1” (see previous paragraphs) billed at 12.99 euros per month.
The Ligue 1 Pass free trial offer is over. From August 1 to 29, each Amazon Prime Video subscriber could test the Prime Ligue 1 offer for seven days 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. On Twitter, Amazon announced that the Amazon Prime Ligue 1 subscription allows you to “watch up to three different matches simultaneously using the same Amazon account, and view the same match on two devices at the same time.” In addition, Amazon Prime Ligue 1 customers can watch the same match on three different devices at the same time, confirmed the American giant on its website.
