Amazon is reportedly set to agree a deal with BT Sport for the two companies to share the UK rights to the UEFA Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference.
According to Bloomberg, the two companies are planning to split the UK broadcast rights in a new deal with UEFA.
BT Sport paid £1.2 billion to secure the rights to all three competitions until 2024.
UEFA is is believed to be hoping to raise the value of the rights by 20 per cent. It is also looking at selling the rights to highlights, with ITV rumoured to be interested.
Bloomberg said representatives for both Amazon and BT Sport declined to comment on its report.
Amazon has already entered the fray in terms of Premier League rights, having secured a deal to broadcast 20 matches a season. It also holds broadcast rights for tennis and rugby.
