Under the terms of the restructuring agreement, Amazon will make a minority investment in Diamond — expected to be initially $115 million — and enter into a commercial arrangement to provide access to Diamond’s content via Prime Video.

Customers will be able to access their local team’s content on Prime Video channels where Diamond has rights. Pricing and availability will be announced at a later date, but it is unlikely that this content would be available as benefit included for current Prime subscribers. Regional sports content will also remain available on cable and satellite providers.

Amazon Prime already carries some New York Yankees and Brooklyn Nets games produced by the YES Network.

Due to the complexity of this bankruptcy case, though, it could take a while before games become available on Prime Video.


In future years, MVC games will likely be available on Amazon Prime. So if you've cut the cord on cable but have Amazon Prime, you should be able to watch the MVC-TV games.

Maybe I'm the world's longest holdout on Prime, but I might have to get it now.

Anything that removes or reduces the influence/power from Diamond/Bally/Sinclair is good news.

Wonder if this is the meaningful end of regional sports networks.
