Wonder if we will confirm our West Ham fixture date as well, or is that likely to be later on in the season?

Not today.

I would expect an announcement if/when we go out of the League Cup, and that it's played in one of those midweeks.

If we get knocked out of the league cup in a couple of weeks then it wouldn’t surprise me if they rearrange that for one of the league cup weeks.

If there's one day of the year where kick off time doesn't actually matter, it's Boxing Day.
Yeah my thoughts as well to be honest. Those going by coach will still be able to do so, those driving will still be able to do so. It's not the first time this has happened either, remember going to stoke on boxing day and that was 8pm too, think it was 2012? Obviously getting home late isn't ideal but from a travel perspective it doesn't really change anything.

Sky, BT and Amazon are merely seeking to maximise the benefits of the tv contracts they have bought.  It's the FA who write the terms of those contracts, so all blame lies solely with the FA in my view.

If it all fits within the Amazon Prime package I'd rather them be a success than continue to have to pay for Sky/BT where you're essentially paying for sports you probably have no interest in. Plus Prime has plenty of random useful features to it, films, music etc. They've also confirmed they presently have no intention to stop their 30 day trial period during December...  ;)

I think streaming is the way forward - obviously ideally with BT/Sky falling off at some point, which seems unlikely.

It might be a few seconds delayed at most, you'd imagine. But if you've got shite internet...

UPDATE: Release pushed back
 
We just spoke to the Premier League and we won't be getting the fixtures for another couple of hours at least.
 
We understand the big reveal could come around mid-afternoon today, but there are still a few final details to iron out first.

You ever tried to watch the tennis? You have to refresh and restart more times that you would otherwise. Their live streaming service is shit and they're acting like billy big bollocks by making demands and holding things up for those of us who want to book trains.

Like I said - fuck anyone who wants them to be a success.

Ah, didn't actually know they'd done streaming before. Sky and BT both have acted like billy big bollocks over many seasons. The whole TV rights thing has been a joke from the start of the PL.

The blame is with the FA here in my opinion.

Streaming is the way backwards. There were FA Cups in the 70s broadcast better.

Mainly because it isn't live.

The official PremierLeaguePass streaming service sold in Asia etc was excellent in my experience (before they realised I wasn't in Thailand). Younger people prefer streaming. Obviously if it's gonna be buffering every 20 seconds or a minute delayed, I doubt it'll be adopted by many.

It's currently delayed enough that you'll have to turn your phone off. They'll be slower than Soccer fucking Saturday.

Streaming it means everyone is at different rates. The champions league final was nowhere near as exciting for me as I had to stay in and watch on that free youtube channel and I could hear the cheers from down the road before anything happened. (Like I minded in the end).

If people are paying decent money, then it should be broadcast on some kind of channel.
We already have shit in the country, and the game of Liverpool fills life with joy. Thanks

The cynic in me thinks that Sky deliberately picked Leicester v Everton for the Sunday, knowing that as a result the two biggest games midweek, the derby and Man Utd v Spurs, would clash on the Wednesday.

If the rumours about an 8.15pm derby kick off are true then Amazon could be showing two games on the Wednesday, with the first one at 6pm. I think they also have the rights to move one to the Thursday as well.

You clearly haven't watched their tennis. It's god damn awful.

Sky & BT are not going away and it would be better staying on one platform rather than 3 different ones.

I don't believe Amazon can make a success of the football just like they can't with the tennis.

If true, I find it amazing that it's been left so late to discuss all of this. Surely once they won the bidding and they knew what they'd got and the dates when, their
plans for showing the games and at what times should have all been discussed then.

MEN:

5pm release for fixtures
We understand that the fixtures for the Premier League will be released at 5pm, from two separate sources - although at this stage it’s still unconfirmed.

However, we were initially told 4pm - so there is still the chance it could be pushed back further.
