Amazon Prime hit with same complaint as millions of Brits tune in to watch Premier League fixtures on Boxing Day

Everyone has had the same complaint

Amid the Boxing Day fixtures showing on Amazon Prime today, millions will be tuning in to watch the Premier League.

The tradition of Boxing Day fixtures runs back over 100 years, with football games previously being played on Christmas and Boxing Day in the Victorian era.

This was due to the bank holiday, which allowed more fans to attend and would lead to fixture congestion that nowadays would have Jurgen Klopp raging, as in 1913, Liverpool played on Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and the 27th, winning 4-2, losing 1-0, then drawing 3-3, according to the BBC.

Fast-forward to today and, while Christmas Day is no longer on the cards for football, Boxing Day simply doesn’t feel the same without the Premier League.

The matches start from 12:30pm to 8pm, with Liverpool and Leicester concluding the fixtures for today, before Brighton and Brentford kick off at 7:30pm tomorrow (27 December), as per The Independent.

This year, however, everyone has had the same complaint about the Boxing Day fixtures on Amazon Prime.

It appears that up and down the country, the match is being played entirely without the sound.

One wrote on Twitter: “Imagine having the Boxing Day coverage with Jeff Stelling and f*cking up with no sound, well done Prime," while another said: “Anyone elses all day coverage on @primevideosport got no sound?”

For anyone who remembers the eerie days of Covid-19 football, watching the football without any crowd noise feels beyond wrong.

Add to that the lack of commentators who'd assumedly spent a pretty penny on their Amazon, and it is less than ideal.

It has had viewers watching the Boxing Day fixtures furious, with one fan tweeting: “Just switched Jeff on and there's no sound! @primevideosport boxing day ruined!”

Another said: “Unbelievable Jeff! Anyone else lost all sound on @primevideosport? Can't watch the football in silence..."

A third angry fan said: "Unless my telly has gone on the blink I’m not getting any sound on Prime’s All Day match coverage…are you @primevideosport".

One Newcastle fan concurred, saying they also had no sound.

While others have even suggested there are other issues going on with the Prime Video coverage of the Premier League, with some hearing a 'rhythmic humming' sound during the Newcastle matches broadcast.

One fan tweeted: "Anyone hearing a rhythmic humming on the audio @primevideosport Newcastle match?"

While Amazon have had issues in today's fixtures, the streaming service is slowly becoming part of the furniture when it comes to screening the Premier League.

They have progressively shown more games, showing 20 games a season this current 'cycle', running from 2022/23 through to 2024/25.

LADbible has contacted Prime Video for comment.
