The move means BT TV will be the first major TV platform to support Amazon Prime Video, with both Sky and Virgin yet to embrace the service.
“BT will be the first major UK TV platform to offer Prime Video through its set top boxes, allowing Prime Members to access thousands of TV episodes and movies, including award-winning Prime Originals and exclusive series like The Grand Tour, The Man in the High Castle, Lucifer, and Vikings, the firm said.
At a press event, BT explained that Amazon Prime Video would go live on BT TV later this month, with Now TV following in early 2019.
