VM used to have something that labelled itself Eurosport Player, but wasn't, as it was just sports news headlines, not sporting events coverage like the mobile/tablet subscription app of the same name.

The latter is coming to Amazon decices with 4K. Obviously extra sports coverage is desirable, maybe Virgin Media can get the same thung as part of any new deal. Does anyone have any idea when the deal that Eurosport is part of is due for renewal?

I'm not suggesting VM should add it to a subscription pack like Hayu is, though it would pad out the currently extremely small Personal Pick pack that is Sport Lite, I am just thinking it could be a similar arrangement to Netflix/Prime Video with the app added and subscription an add-on.

It all depends on the quality , I doubt it will be Broadcast standard 4K live Sport.

Given the app, without 4K, already shows coverage not available on Eurosport 1 and 2 I think many would welcome it as an option even without 4K capability.

Some live coverage is only on their app because there isn't space, and only highlights make it on the main channels.

Presumably it is the 4k content that is 'new'. Eurosport Player has been available as an add on channel on Amazon Prime for some time - they were running a promotion of 0.01 per month for 6 months at the start of 2019.

It's nothing to do with Prime Video, it's the app being added to Amazon OS devices like the Fire tablet.
