He was axed by ITV after commentating on Euro 2024 but vowed to stay in broadcasting.

The 70-year-old quickly snapped up a new job with US network CBS but kept his role with Amazon Prime where he covers the Premier League.

However, because Amazon’s deal with England’s top flight set to expire soon, his final game commentating for UK audiences is quickly approaching.

Tyldesley’s final Prem match for the channel could be Brighton‘s clash with Brentford during the Christmas period.

Speaking on the Anfield Wrap podcast, he explained: “What actually could be the final game I ever commentate for UK television is Brighton-Brentford. That won’t be dull.

“That’s on 27 December. Amazon Prime, this is their final year, so the Premier League going forward is going back to a two-man cartel of Sky and TNT.”

Amazon did not enter the running for Prem broadcast rights from 2025-26 onwards.

Instead, Sky Sports and TNT Sports won the process and will continue sharing the rights.

After announcing his new job with CBS back in July, Tyldesley explained: “All I can do is keeping reviewing my own standards, keep making myself available.

“If someone like CBS – who have given me a four-year contract to cover Champions League for the USA – show that sort of confidence in me then I can only assure you I will repay that faith by working bloody hard and trying to be as good as I can be.”
