In a dramatic break from tradition, football fans across the UK can watch Nottingham Forest's crucial Premier League clash against Chelsea completely FREE this Saturday evening.
The 5:30pm kick-off at the City Ground marks a historic moment as it becomes one of the rare Saturday matches exempt from the traditional UK TV blackout that normally prevents live broadcast coverage between 2:45pm and 5:15pm.
Streaming Breakthrough for Football Fans
Amazon Prime Video has secured exclusive rights to broadcast the match, but here's the game-changing news for supporters: anyone can watch for free, even without an Amazon Prime subscription. The streaming giant is offering a 30-day free trial, perfectly timed to cover this vital encounter as Forest battle for Premier League survival.
This exception to the blackout rules comes after careful consideration by the football authorities, recognising the significance of the match for both teams. Forest are fighting to secure their top-flight status, while Chelsea continue their push for European qualification.
How to Access the Free Stream
For supporters eager to catch every moment of the action, the process is straightforward:
- Visit Amazon Prime Video website or app
- Sign up for the 30-day free trial
- Search for Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea
- Stream live from 5pm Saturday
Remember to cancel within 30 days if you don't wish to continue the subscription, making the viewing experience completely cost-free.
Team News and Tactical Preview
Forest manager Nuno Espírito Santo faces selection headaches with several key defenders potentially unavailable. Chelsea's Mauricio Pochettino meanwhile welcomes back Cole Palmer, whose absence was keenly felt in their recent defeat to Arsenal.
The match promises tactical intrigue as Forest's resilient home form meets Chelsea's unpredictable but dangerous attacking lineup. With both teams having everything to play for in the season's final stages, expect fireworks at the City Ground.
This broadcasting exception sets a fascinating precedent for future Premier League coverage and could signal the beginning of the end for the traditional Saturday afternoon blackout that has defined English football viewing for decades.
