in the first 16 matches on Wednesday- Corriere.it

After the rumors, the official has arrived. Amazon has completed the acquisition of the rights to broadcast exclusively in Italy the live broadcasts of the 16 best matches on Wednesday afternoon of the Champions League, which, explains a note from the streaming platform, they will always see an Italian team present in the groups and, in case of qualification, until the semi-finals. The agreement will take effect next year and will last for three seasons. The UEFA Super Cup rights have also been acquired for the same period, a challenge between the Champions League winner and the Europa League holder.

Amazon’s move could open a new phase, meeting the needs of the younger audience. Among the great protagonists of the calls for soccer television rights were able to enter also other giants like Netflix and Apple. We know that Italian fans are among the most passionate in Europe and we will do our best to offer a fantastic football experience capable of bringing them even closer to the action, the Amazon note reads.
