The Seattle Sounders reached an
agreement with Amazon Prime Video for it to become the Sounders' sole digital streaming destination for all of their non-nationally televised matches broadcast in the state of Washington.
It's just the second time Amazon Prime Video has reached a streaming agreement with a sports franchise after the agreement with New York Yankees.
Amazon Prime Video also live-streams NFL
football games, Premier League games in the United Kingdom and will carry UEFA Champions League matches in Germany.
"When I think about our hometown, few brands are as closely associated
with Seattle's sense of innovation and ingenuity as Amazon," said Sounders owner Adrian Hanauer. "This is a proud day for our club, as we're now able to bring our fans Sounders FC matches on the
world's premier video streaming service through a company that is synonymous with our city's culture."
JOEtv will continue to be the regional television home of the Sounders, alongside
radio partners Sports Radio 950 KJR AM and El Rey 1360 AM.
