How to watch Amazon Prime Video's rugby matches for free as S4C live coverage pulled

Amazon Prime Video's announcement that it will be providing its own Welsh language production instead of S4C means Wales' autumn internationals will not be available in full on any terrestrial TV channel.

Prime Video are broadcasting all of Wales, England, Scotland, France and Italy's matches in this year's Autumn Nations Series in the UK, while Ireland's games will be shown on RTE before becoming a part of Amazon's package in 2022. So that means 17 of this autumn's 20 live rugby internationals will be shown by Amazon.

The streaming giant is, of course, behind a paywall, but there is a way you can actually watch all the action for free - in English or Welsh - on Prime Video if you time it right.

Amazon Prime is a paid-for service, but you can sign up for a free 30-day trial here.

First thing's first, Amazon Prime costs £7.99 per month or £79 for a year. Alternatively, you could get an Amazon Prime Video-only subscription for £5.99 per month, without the other Prime benefits.

If you aren't an Amazon Prime customer, you can start a 30-day free trial which would grant you access to all of the action this autumn, which begins on Saturday, October 30, before the last match on Amazon on Saturday, November 20. You can see the full fixtures and kick-off times here.

Be careful with the free trials, though, as customers are only eligible for a free trial of Prime every 12 months.

If you decide you don't want to continue with Amazon Prime beyond your free trial, just cancel before your 30 days is up. If you forget, you will then be charged.

You can sign up for a free Amazon Prime trial here.

Existing Prime members in the UK will be able to watch live Autumn Nations Series games as part of their existing membership.
