Watch Everton v Newcastle Premier League match for free through Amazon Prime trial

Newcastle United will aim to add to Everton's relegation worries when they kick-off at Goodison Park on Thursday, with the match being broadcast live on Amazon Prime.

Initially, the game at Goodison was set to be played on Thursday December 30, but the match was postponed due to injuries and Covid cases. Since then, Newcastle have strengthened, risen up the table to near safety and are eying a top-half finish.

Everton, beaten at St James' Park by Newcastle in February, have slipped perilously towards the drop zone amid financial worries. Frank Lampard is tasked with keeping The Toffees above water.

Away tickets are sold out, but the match is being shown live on Amazon Prime, the retailer's subscription service which includes movies, TV and sports streaming. You can even get the free trial if you've been a Prime member before, as long as it was more than 12 months ago when you ended your previous subscription or trial.

How to watch Everton v Newcastle for free on Amazon Prime

Amazon Prime is a subscription service that offers customers movies, TV shows and live sport, as well as unlimited next day delivery on products bought from Amazon's store.

Prime struck a deal with the Premier League to show 20 games this season. Most were shown over the festive period, but due to the postponement, Everton will play Newcastle on Thursday March 17. Kick off is at 7.45pm.

Usually, Amazon Prime costs £7.99 a month or £79 a year. But there is a week-long FREE trial currently on offer through Amazon.

Even if you've had Prime before, you can still get the free trial, as long as you have not had an account active in the previous 12 months. You will have to enter card details, but if you remember to cancel the trial before the end of the trial period, you will not be charged.

Head here to sign up for a free Amazon Prime trial, which includes access to this week's Premier League game. If you do not remember to cancel your subscription before the trial ends, it will roll over to a £7.99 monthly fee.

Amazon says: "You need a current, valid payment card to sign up for Amazon Prime. Payment options, such as pre-paid credit cards or Gift Cards can't be used to purchase a membership.

"While you won't be charged for your free trial, membership is converted to a paid membership plan at the end of the trial period."

How to end your Amazon Prime trial so you do not get charged

If you sign up for the week-long trial and do not cancel the subscription before the trial period ends, Amazon Prime will start charging you a monthly £7.99 fee. "You can end your Amazon Prime membership, or cancel your free trial to ensure that it doesn't convert to a full Amazon Prime membership," says Amazon.

Head here for information on how to cancel your Prime membership. You'll have to click "manage" on your Amazon Prime Membership page.

What can I watch Amazon Prime on, does it work on TV?

Many modern TVs are compatible with Amazon Prime, check if you can download the app to yours. Essentially, if it is a "smart" TV, or you run a smart box like Virgin Media through it, you should be fine

Smart phones, including those that run Apple and Google operating services, can be used to stream content on Amazon Prime too, as can games consoles such as Xboxes and Playstations, and tablets.
