Is EE's claim to be showing "Every single UEFA Champions League Game" true?

Approximately half way down the page at "https://ee.co.uk/tv/sport" it states that the you get "every single UEFA Champions League game". I believe this same wording is repeated on my order confirmation email.

In each round of fixtures there is one game shown exclusively on Amazon Prime Video - this evening it's RB Leipzig vs Aston Villa. This game not listed on the EPG nor on the Discovery+ app. Looking ahead in the EPG there are highlights scheduled for many other games but not this particular one.

If one game requires an additional paid subscription from another provider, does that mean the claim to be showing "Every single UEFA Champions League Game" is not true?

Starting in August 2024, Prime Video will exclusively broadcast 17 top-pick matches per season every Tuesday night throughout the (Champions League ) competition up to and including the Semi-Final stage.

Can you point me to the page on the EE web site where this is stated?

I did not state that was on the EE website. EE and BT tend only to promote content on other subscription services where they have a current commercial arrangement ,I believe selling Amazon Prime Video as a new BT TV ( now EETV) add-on ceased from 28th April 2023. So for accurate information on Prime Video coverage will come from themselves.

the contracts were agreed in 2022 see article

so EETV are showing more games under the new arrangement but fans will need prime video to view the exclusive prime video games live.

@zulu17 @KitKats1

So it seems to me from that then, that EETV should have withdrawn their proud boast in 2022, or at least before 2024…

Indeed. Since an additional paid subscription is required, the claim of "Every Single" game appears to be false.
