Football fans are accustomed to changing channels if they want to watch games. After all, the NFL eagerly slices up its schedule to sell matchups to CBS, FOX, and NBC. With the popularity of streaming video services, there's room for another company to get in on the gridiron action. And few companies are more powerful than Amazon.
Prime Video has the exclusive rights to stream Thursday Night Football until 2033. Prime Video costs $8.99, or you can get it as part of your larger Amazon Prime subscription for $14.99 per month or $139 per year (there are no extra fees for NFL streaming). Here’s everything you need to know about streaming Thursday Night Football.
How to Stream Thursday Night Football
Football exclusively airing on an online streaming service is a big deal, but the experience shouldn’t be too different for most viewers. Instead of hopping to a specific traditional broadcast channel, simply fire up the Prime Video app downloaded to your smart TV or media streaming device.
You can also watch Thursday Night Football on Twitch, the Amazon-owned live-streaming platform (unfortunately, the app isn't available on Roku TVs). You can stream the games live or check out the replay afterward.
