<\/p>\nAmazon Prime is one of the Premier League\u2019s broadcast partners <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Viewers in the United Kingdom tuning in to midweek Premier League action would have noted fresh graphics on Amazon Prime Video\u2019s coverage of the English top flight.<\/p>\n
The first round of the season broadcast by Amazon sees 10 games across three days shown live on the streaming platform.<\/p>\n
Along with this week\u2019s fixtures, the subscription service will also show the Boxing Day round of Premier League fixtures, which take place on 26, 27 and 28 December.<\/p>\n
The broadcaster unveiled a number of new presenters and pundits, including former Soccer Saturday front-man Jeff Stelling, ahead of their coverage, but it was a new on-screen graphic above the scoreboard that caught the eye of some watchers during the two live games on Tuesday 5 December. <\/p>\n
At kick off, five white dashes appeared above the three letter codes denoting the names of the team involved. <\/p>\n
These represent the number of substitutes available to each manager, with a dash removed after each change is made.<\/p>\n
Premier League clubs used to be allowed to make three changes in each match, but are now permitted to make five each after a rule change ahead of last season.<\/p>\n
These can, however, only be made on three different occasions, with an extra opportunity at half-time if desired.<\/p>\n
The Premier League partnered with Amazon on an initial three-season deal from 2019, before an extension was agreed through to the end of the 2024\/25 season.<\/p>\n
That will mark the end of the partnership for the time being, though, with Sky Sports and TNT Sports securing the UK broadcasting rights from the 2025\/26 season onwards.<\/p>\n
