Hello everyone, I was reading some news that some NBA, MLS and NHL matches will be streamed on Amazon Prime Video in the U.S.
And I thought what do we get here in Australia?

So after a search I came across this deal. For all the Cricket fans out there.

For people that don't have Prime Video, don't panic.

Communications minister Michelle Rowland last week introduced laws to parliament updating anti-siphoning measures that would require free-to-air services to be offered first refusal for important sporting events.

All the details on the link.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) and Prime Video have inked a four-year deal to provide exclusive livestreaming broadcast rights in Australia for ICC major events, which will be available on Prime Video Australia.

The partnership will see Prime Video Australia exclusively stream all men’s and women’s events, including the Men’s and Women’s Cricket World Cups, T20 World Cups, Champions Trophy, U19s and the World Test Championship Final. The deal includes streaming rights in Australia for 448 live games from 2024 to 2027.

      If I'm not wrong based on the descriptions provided above, as long as you are an Amazon Prime member, it is free for you. No additional subscription needed.

    Just in time to be served more ads from prime

    • mj7312 on 18/01/2024 - 21:39

      It's such a shame. I just can't watch ads anymore, so Prime is dead to me when it starts.

        Didnt realise ozbargainers didnt listen to the news, i think i heard it half a dozen times on the radio that day, but i drive for a living so thats probably why.

      This includes access to the 15th edition of the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup, which will be played across five venues in South Africa starting 19 January.

      The percentage of people that get Prime solely to watch content would be very small. To the vast majority of people this would be an added bonus (especially if you were going to pay for Kayo just for the cricket)

      • nepalesesquirrel on 18/01/2024 - 21:51

        I agree.
        Although without knowing the rest of the schedule its getting very messy with channel 7, Kayo and now Amazon all hosting some forms of international cricket.

    • R00D on 18/01/2024 - 21:15

      More content without an additional cost, in this case it's content that wouldn't all be available free to air. If a streaming service reduced their content and made it cheaper you'd find it on here… what's the difference?

      • EFC94 on 18/01/2024 - 21:28

        Explain how its a deal when previously I could watch for free on Channel 7/9 but now I need to pay money to watch as its behind a paywall.

        • cook99 on 18/01/2024 - 21:41

          You would only have gotten a very limited amount of games (Aus) before.
          Amazon Prime streaming is essentially considered 'Free' to most of us who would be Prime members just for free postage, even if nothing was streamed.

        • BrutalitopsMage on 18/01/2024 - 21:44
          +2

          Think of it as a post to say, hey everyone who has Amazon Prime or access to it (I would wager at least 50% of those here), tomorrow you can access this stuff which you previously did not have access to with your sub.

        • R00D on 19/01/2024 - 13:31

          I just did. You either didn't read my post or didn't understand it.

    • Fergy1987 on 18/01/2024 - 21:21

      Its a deal coz it would be $28 a month if Kayo had it

      • freoleo on 18/01/2024 - 22:40
        +1

        Kayo has everything else though, now you have to own both subs to stream all cricket, before I only needed Kayo

        This is a net negative

          • freoleo on 19/01/2024 - 00:49

            @Big L: For all sports lovers who have Kayo/Fox AKA the majority of sports fans in Aus

    • ozbs25 on 18/01/2024 - 21:24

      You'd really only get Australian games on FTA. This does seem like it would include all games like Afganistan vs Netherlands.

      • cycleri3 on 18/01/2024 - 21:44

        But this deal means you will now get ZERO games on FTA. Enjoy. :)

        • ozbs25 on 18/01/2024 - 21:53
          +2

          Enjoy I will. I don't watch FTA.

        • Capitalshark on 19/01/2024 - 06:54

          Why would free to air show anything other than Australian games, when 90% of the population don’t care and they can’t sell ads for it .

  • Pinchy on 18/01/2024 - 21:30

    Next will be the NRL and AFL deal posts. You can stream it on Kayo which saves you X about compared to standard foxtel.

    Amazing news - thanks for sharing, glad I won't have to deal with Kayo again!

    • nepalesesquirrel on 18/01/2024 - 21:54

      Im unsure if it includes ALL games that you would be interested in watching, such as away test series etc

      • poppingtags on 18/01/2024 - 21:56

        That's true - still, great to have something!

        • nepalesesquirrel on 18/01/2024 - 22:01

          Yes with Kayo prices going up it would be great if we could ditch it, but with exclusive BBL and AFL exclusive games amongst other things its hard to give it up.

  • lazydesi on 18/01/2024 - 21:48

    is it streaming in 4k?

    any hacks to get cheap prime membership?

    thanks

    • Falbium on 18/01/2024 - 22:43
      +2

      Not a hack, but paying annually is cheaper than monthly. Even more so if they raise the monthly price. I'm still on old pricing and they put the price up 6 months ago, my annual plan hasn't renewed yet.
      Plus if I ever get a late delivery I'll hit up support for a free 1 month extension on Prime, this has always worked.

      • Tandalocity on 19/01/2024 - 08:03

        What's considered a late delivery?

    • Charlie Dont Surf on 18/01/2024 - 23:21

      Mastercard/Amazon Prime deals have been posted here recently. I'm currently on a 3-month free trial. Haven't used Amazon once since it started though!

      • AdModnar on 19/01/2024 - 00:13
        +1

        watch some of the U19 games, starting tomorrow then.
        Must make it worthwhile having it!

        • Charlie Dont Surf on 19/01/2024 - 00:39

          Yes I might give it a try to see how the platform handles live sport.

          Thought that maybe the AFL were heading in the direction of carving out part of the broadcast rights to sell to Amazon. Such as introducing Monday night fixtures. Maybe in the next broadcast deal.

  • Zeezoo on 18/01/2024 - 21:50

    Excellent,I do watch cricket and my Smart TV doesn't have kayo app compatibility.so the only option is Foxtel that costs ridiculously
    Thanks OP

    • Falbium on 18/01/2024 - 22:51

      Google TV stick or an Amazon Firestick would be a very cheap fix to that problem in case you're not already aware

        No dude. Then there’s two remote. It’s not convenient. Better buy a new smart tv ( android os one )

  • Hoarder77 on 18/01/2024 - 22:20

    This is great. However this is only for ICC events. To watch any bilateral series or IPL still need to rely on Kayo.

  • burns13 on 18/01/2024 - 22:26

    How much cricket can one watch ?

  • Kosmo-Kramer on 18/01/2024 - 23:36

    • Australian men's limited-overs internationals on home soil: Fox Cricket, Kayo
    • ICC events (male and female): Amazon Prime

      Well it was fine, you own Kayo and the rest were FTA

      Amazon has come along and (profanity) it up, now you need more than 1 streaming service to get it all.

      If you are a cricket fan there is 0 way this is saving you money, it all costs more now

      • Big L on 19/01/2024 - 00:39

        It's saving me money, I won't subscribe to Kayo and only watch FTA but have prime

        • EFC94 on 19/01/2024 - 13:36

          How is it saving you money when you're spending either the same amount or more? Do you understand the concept of maths and budgeting?

      • zaphy on 19/01/2024 - 19:30

        Well you basically just need to alternate between Kayo and Prime ie. drop subscriptions as necessary, and sign back up. There might be periods where you need both at the same time though..

        • freoleo on 19/01/2024 - 22:22

          Need Kayo all year round for Footy/Cricket

          so dropping doesn't work

    • st1ng on 19/01/2024 - 20:26

      2027 and 2031 will be shared by Foxtel (and Kayo) and Nine. No more having to have Hardly Normal ads interrupted by cricket. Hopefully even 4K by then.

      https://tvblackbox.com.au/page/2023/11/06/ashes-broadcast-sp…

      So the ICC Mens T20 tournament is in the month of June (first game 1st - final 29th). Might get Prime Video for just a single month, which isn't too expensive.

  • yoke2018 on 19/01/2024 - 09:10

    I stopped watching cricket when Steve Waugh got his century in his last test match.

  • Wandersen on 19/01/2024 - 09:40
    +2

    The best thing about this deal will be the broadcast quality. 4k I would expect which is a billion times better than anything channel 7 has ever done.

    • Mozzmanau on 19/01/2024 - 10:11

      Channel 7 9 and 10 took years to go to 1080. Doubt they'll ever go 4k. They'll be shut down by then because no one watches free 2 air anymore

    • Tnetennba on 19/01/2024 - 10:12

      I worry it'll be much worse than (admittedly expensive) Kayo. And I wonder where they will source commentary from.

      • st1ng on 19/01/2024 - 20:45

        Disney Star (India) provide the world feed for all ICC events. It would be the same commentary team if the game was broadcast on FTA or Fox Cricket.

        • freoleo on 19/01/2024 - 22:26

          Kayo and 9/7 have a team back at home during the breaks, I assume Amazon will forego that

    • freoleo on 19/01/2024 - 22:23

      Kayo is starting 4k at the end of the month, they sent out emails

  • Mozzmanau on 19/01/2024 - 10:10

    Does this mean the world cup events will only be streamed on prime and won't be available on Kayo?

    • Tnetennba on 19/01/2024 - 10:13
