Prime Hydration, which entered the UK market shortly after its USA appearance in 2022, is incredibly popular. You likely have not tried the drink yet because you couldn’t find it anywhere. You probably wonder where you can get your hand on a bottle or 2.
Does Tesco sell Prime Hydration?
No, Tesco currently does not sell Prime Hydration. In the UK, Prime Hydration is now sold by ASDA and Aldi, it can also be purchased at the Emirates Stadium.
In this article, you will learn why Tesco does not sell Prime Hydration, whether and when this will change, and where you need to go to buy Prime Hydration.
Do Any Tesco Stores Sell Prime Hydration?
No, currently, only ASDA, Aldi, the Emirates Stadium are allowed to sell Prime Hydration in the UK. ASDA had an exclusive deal with Prime Hydration, but as of late 2022 Aldi started to sell Prime and it got chaotic at their locations.
In Which Aisle Do I Find Prime Hydration In Tesco?
Currently, you will not find this very popular energy drink in any aisle within Tesco stores.
This might change in 2023. Tesco’s official Twitter says that Tesco plans to sell Prime Hydration as soon as possible, but there is no confirmed date yet.
Hi thee, we will be stocking Prime Hydration drinks, however, I’m sorry, but we have no confirmed date yet. It would just be the case of keep cheking in store. Thanks – Alison

It is speculated that ASDA will have a year of exclusive rights for the sale – but that more retailers will be able to sell Prime Hydration in 2023. I will keep you guys updated!

Why Is Prime Hydration Not Sold In Tesco?
Tesco would happily sell Prime Hydration as there is a lot of demand and a lot of money to be made.
However, for now, only ASDA, Emirates Stadium, and the official webshop of Prime Hydration sell these bottles. This is part of an exclusive deal. Tesco is not part of that deal as of 2022.
Due to the limited availability, Prime has become a rare product. It is so valuable that a food retailer even accepts Prime Hydration bottles as payment!
Is There A Limit To How Many Prime Hydration Bottles I Can Buy?
If you head over to an ASDA store (because Tesco doesn’t sell Prime), you might run into the next problem:
Most stores have a limit on how many bottles a customer can buy. In most cases, the limit is three bottles per customer. Some places are limiting Prime Hydration to even 1 or 2 bottles per customer. It is pretty crazy to me the demand for this drink in the UK.
Where Can I Buy Prime Hydration?
At the moment, you can only buy Prime Hydration drinks in the UK from three official locations:
- In ASDA supermarkets
- In the Emirates Stadium
- And in the official Prime online shop
You can also find overpriced bottles of Prime Hydration on eBay, Facebook’s marketplace, and third-party sellers on Amazon. Some specialty stores will buy them and resell them too. These can cost anything from £10 to £30 per bottle (yes, per bottle – not per multi-pack).

Final Thoughts
Prime Hydration drinks are currently really hard to find. You have to compete with eager teenagers who don’t mind queuing in front of a store in the early morning hours so that they can get their hands on some bottles.
Fortunately, the problem might be solved soon when more retailers are allowed to sell the drink. Supply will increase, and this will ensure that the drink is not that much of a rarity any longer.
So, if you have a little patience, you won’t have to spend a fortune on those bottles on eBay!
