[

In November 2019 to early January 2020, BT Sport Box Office 2 was launched on Sky in the UK and Ireland on channel 494. BT Sport Box Office on channel 490 was temporarily removed from residential set-top boxes to facilitate the
2019?20 Premier League
being broadcast to licensed premises only. On the
EPG
, BT Sport Box Office was renamed
Amazon Premier League Pass
during this time. These channels were provided by
Amazon
. 6 channels were broadcast via the red button on selected dates. It is assumed

that BT Sport Box Office 2 was launched so Sky would suffice their contract with BT. It returned in July 2020 for the final month of the premier league 2019?20 season.

In October 2020, amidst the
COVID-19 pandemic
forbidding spectators to attend football matches, select Premier League matches were allowed to be broadcast on a PPV basis which would have typically been affected by the

.

The first game available to the general public on the channel was
Chelsea
versus
