Arsenal's Sporting Clash Moves to Amazon Prime: Here's What You Need to Know

Arsenal supporters hoping to catch their Champions League quarter-final opener against Sporting will need to navigate a fresh streaming arrangement, as Amazon Prime has snapped up exclusive rights to the Portuguese tie's first leg.

The Gunners' European campaign has bounced between TNT Sports and Sky throughout this season, but neither broadcaster retained the goods for this particular fixture. Instead, Amazon Prime holds the keys to the kingdom, with the match kicking off at 6.30pm.

For those without an existing Amazon account, a 30-day free trial provides a no-cost gateway to the action. Alternatively, a full monthly subscription sits at £8.99. Anyone already in the Amazon ecosystem can simply add a TNT monthly pass to their existing subscription should they wish.

Amazon's in-house punditry and commentary operation will handle proceedings, whilst an exclusive match preview will also be available on the platform.

The return leg at The Emirates tells a different story. TNT Sports retains broadcasting duties for that fixture, though the channel has relocated to its new home on HBO Max.

The streaming giant's Champions League portfolio extends further into this season's competition. Liverpool's second leg against PSG next week will also air on Amazon, alongside a Tuesday night semi-final pick.

Elsewhere in the knockout stages, TNT Sports maintains coverage of Real Madrid versus Bayern Munich on Tuesday evening, Liverpool's opening salvo at PSG, and Barcelona's meeting with Atlético Madrid on Wednesday night—all first-leg encounters.

Amazon secured broadcasting rights to one Champions League match per week under a four-year deal struck in 2025, with the privilege of selecting one game from each round for the next three campaigns. Come 2027, however, the landscape shifts considerably when Paramount assumes TNT's mantle as the primary Champions League broadcaster across the UK.
