Amazon, Discovery in German sports deal

Amazon has struck a far-reaching sports deal in Germany with Discovery Communications that provides subscribers with access to Eurosport’s live event programming, including exclusive Bundesliga football matches.

The deal, which extends to Amazon in Austria, offers Amazon Prime members access to Eurosport’s premium live HD sports content including 45 live Bundesliga games in HD per season, beginning on August 18 with Bayern Munich against Bayer 04 Leverkusen.

Subscribers can also access Australian Open, Roland Garros and US Open tennis action, plus MotoGP and the Olympic Winter Games in 2018.

All sports events will be available live and on-demand from the Eurosport Player channel, with the service now available.

Discovery and Eurosport channels became available on Amazon in the UK earlier this year following the launch of Amazon Channels in the US in 2016.

The German/Austrian offer costs subscribers €4.99 (US$5.85) per month.
