Ligue 1 available to UK viewers on Amazon Prime
From this weekend, audiences in the UK will have another way to watch Ligue 1 after Amazon announced that the French top flight was coming to their platform. Prime Video will host Ligue 1 matches via pay-per-view with each game accessible for £2.49.
This is exclusive to the UK and Amazon notes that viewers will not need a Prime subscription to access these games. This weekend, Paris Saint-Germain will travel to arch-rivals Olympique Lyonnais, while Olympique de Marseille will visit AJ Auxerre.
Viewers in the UK (as well as the Republic of Ireland) are already able to access all Ligue 1 games on a subscription basis via the Ligue 1 Pass, which costs £9.99 a month or £79.99 a year.
The Ligue 1 Pass was only created at the start of this season (after the first game week had been completed) following TNT Sports' decision not to pick up the broadcasting rights for the 2024/25 campaign.

USMNT vs. Switzerland: Lineups, live updates, how to watch Tuesday friendly
USMNT vs. Switzerland: Lineups, live updates, how to watch Tuesday friendly Show Caption Hide Caption Weston McKennie discusses the state of the USMNT ahead of World Cup Soccer standout Weston McKennie discusses the state of the USMNT and how Mauricio Pochettino is getting the squad ready ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Sports Seriously The U.S. men's national team finishes its Gold Cup preparations with a Tuesday friendly against Switzerland at Geodis Park in Nashville, Tenn. The USMNT will be hoping to take a step forward after a merely adequate performance on Saturday ended with a 2-1 loss to Turkey. While the U.S. controlled much of the game in possession, poor work on the ball inside its own penalty area gifted the Turks both goals, throwing away a first-minute strike from Jack McGlynn that gave the hosts a lead. The USMNT news cycle moved rapidly between matches, providing a mixed bag for the team. In bad news, midfield linchpin Tyler Adams was ruled out with a foot injury, with head coach Mauricio Pochettino saying he hopes the knock will not rule the Bournemouth man out for the Gold Cup. On the plus side, goalkeeper Matt Turner — who will start as part of a heavily rotated 11 for this friendly — has been linked to a €8 million move from Nottingham Forest to French side Lyon. Follow along with Pro Soccer Wire for live updates, highlights, lineups, and analysis for Tuesday's game between the USMNT and Switzerland. The USMNT is without Tyler Adams, a player whose skill set and personality are both arguably indispensable for a team that has, for lack of a better way to put it, lacked a little bit of dawg out there. The Bournemouth midfielder is out with what Mauricio Pochettino called "a small issue in his foot" in a Monday press conference. For more on Adams' status, read Pro Soccer Wire's reporting on the news. The USMNT, in its new "Heartbeat" kits for the second time, kicks off at Geodis Park in Nashville, Tenn. We're expecting a 4-2-3-1 out of Mauricio Pochettino, who has made nine changes to the starting 11 that lost to Turkey last week. Johnny Cardoso (who was hauled off after a rocky first half in that game) and Max Arfsten are the only holdovers. A whopping five players in this group came up through the Philadelphia Union academy. That includes Brenden and Paxten Aaronson, who will start alongside one another with the USMNT for the first time. Per U.S. Soccer, they become the fourth set of brothers to do so, and the first since George and Louis Nanchoff both started a Feb. 11, 1979 game against the Soviet Union.

Liverpool's insane transfer plan BIGGER than Florian Wirtz
Liverpool's transfer plan this summer went bigger than Florian Wirtz. The Reds are close to breaking their transfer record for the German star. Liverpool hope to close a deal for Florian Wirtz before long. The Reds have pushed forward on a club-record transfer with Bayer Leverkusen. Advertisement And that's a shock. Liverpool weren't supposed to be in the running for Wirtz, with Bayern Munich thought to be absolutely certainties to sign him. After all, the Bundesliga champions essentially have a first option on all elite German talent. That's how it seems, at least. But Wirtz chose Liverpool. He rejected Bayern Munich and Manchester City, who wanted a replacement for Kevin De Bruyne. Wonderful news for Liverpool, then, who have surprised everyone with a move of this scale. However, it appears they planned to go even bigger. Florian Wirtz x Rayan Cherki France-based broadcaster Matt Spiro claims Liverpool had a pretty incredible plan. He suggests the Reds tried to sign both Wirtz and Rayan Cherki this summer. Advertisement Certainly, he's not the first to report that Liverpool wanted Cherki. The Athletic claimed last week that Arne Slot flew to France to discuss plans with the French playmaker. Ultimately, Cherki chose Manchester City over the Reds but it appears Liverpool had a grand plan of signing both no.10s for next season. That naturally draws up many more questions: how would they play together? Would the formation change? Who makes way? Who plays where? And we're also disappointed that it won't happen - but not surprised. Wirtz was always the main target over Cherki and the Frenchman would understandably prefer to have more of a starring role at City. Still, we can't help but admire the ambition here. Liverpool tried to make something very special happen and fell just short of it.

England ‘not good enough' but won't panic
Captain Harry Kane insisted England are 'not going to panic' following a shock 3-1 friendly loss to Senegal. Three days on from an underwhelming 1-0 World Cup qualifying win over Andorra, Thomas Tuchel's side were again booed off by fans. Advertisement Goals from Ismaila Sarr, Habib Diarra and Cheikh Sabaly inflicted England's first defeat to an African nation following Kane's early opener at the City Ground in Nottingham. Thomas Tuchel suffered a first defeat as England manager (Nick Potts/PA) 'Again, not really good enough,' Kane told ITV Sport. 'We had again moments; just with and without the ball we aren't quite clicking, aren't quite finding the right passes, finding the right tempo. 'One v one, we're losing duels, we're losing just that aggressive nature that we've had and we got punished, we're playing against a good side. We just weren't good enough today. 'We're not going to panic. But for sure we know we need to do better.' England thought they had levelled late on through Jude Bellingham but his effort was ruled out on review for an adjudged handball by Levi Colwill. Advertisement 'If you know the rules, it's not handball,' said Kane. 'It obviously puts us back in the game at 2-2 and maybe we go on and win the game so it is quite a big moment. 'But that's something to discuss with them (the match officials) afterwards.' England's Jude Bellingham gestures to referee Stephanie Frappart after his goal is disallowed (Mike Egerton/PA) Defeat for England was a first in four matches since the appointment of manager Tuchel. The German coach, who was unhappy with the decision of French referee Stephanie Frappart to disallow Bellingham's effort, said: 'Of course, a disappointing result, not sure if we did not maybe deserve a little bit more result-wise. 'But I felt again we were a little bit frozen, not active enough for a long time of the match. Advertisement '(We) defended quite well for a long period in the first half, then our best period came when we were 2-1 down. Cheikh Sabaly celebrates Senegal's win (Nick Potts/PA) 'We conceded the first two goals, very easy goals that we need to defend better. 'The reaction was good after we were down. I felt suddenly we were more active, more free, more fluid, more aggressive towards the opponent's goal. 'We had big chances to equalise, we 'equalised' (Bellingham's disallowed effort) and couldn't get the last one.'
