Amazon Prime will stream the four Premier League games it has the rights to free of charge when football returns.
It means no membership will be required in order to watch the matches via the website.
The news means there will be a total of 33 matches on free-to-air TV, including four to be shown on the BBC and 25 on Pick TV.
All 92 of the remaining matches in the Premier League will be broadcast. In total Sky have the rights to 64 of them, BT has 20, and Amazon and the BBC four each.
The final fixture list is yet to be decided, with exact timings and dates set to be published at some point this week.
One thing that does appear set in stone is the return of the division on June 17, with Manchester City taking on Arsenal and Aston Villa hosting Sheffield United as all four teams fulfill their games in hand.
It will be intriguing to see the viewing figures of each match from now until the end of the season, with every game played behind closed doors as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
That is great.
