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 competition. 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 per month, 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). If you want to see the new NFL rookie class in action or the Philadelphia Eagles' attempt at a Super Bowl repeat, check out everything you need to know about streaming Thursday Night Football.



Where to Stream Thursday Night Football

Finding streaming-exclusive NFL games shouldn't be too complicated 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.


The NFL Thursday Night Football Schedule

Amazon's Thursday Night Football covers the 16 games listed below, as well as an undisclosed NFL Wild Card game on either January 10 or 11, 2026.

  • 9/11 Washington Commanders versus Green Bay Packers
  • 9/18 Miami Dolphins versus Buffalo Bills
  • 9/25 Seattle Seahawks versus Arizona Cardinals
  • 10/2 San Francisco 49ers versus Los Angeles Rams
  • 10/9 Philadelphia Eagles versus New York Giants
  • 10/16 Pittsburgh Steelers versus Cincinnati Bengals
  • 10/23 Minnesota Vikings versus Los Angeles Chargers
  • 10/30 Baltimore Ravens versus Miami Dolphins
  • 11/6 Las Vegas Raiders versus Denver Broncos
  • 11/13 New York Jets versus New England Patriots
  • 11/20 Buffalo Bills versus Houston Texans
  • 11/28 Chicago Bears versus Philadelphia Eagles
  • 12/4 Dallas Cowboys versus Detroit Lions
  • 12/11 Atlanta Falcons versus Tampa Bay Buccaneers
  • 12/18 Los Angeles Rams versus Seattle Seahawks
  • 12/25 Denver Broncos versus Kansas City Chiefs

You can also enjoy pregame, halftime, and postgame entertainment led by broadcasters Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit. The pregame starts at 7 p.m. EST, and you can view cool matchup details via Prime Vision with Next Gen Stats once the game starts. Naturally, Amazon's stream encourages you to buy plenty of NFL merchandise from the Amazon store. 


Can You Watch Thursday Night Football With a VPN?

VPN lets you virtually travel the world by spoofing your geographic location. So, if you want to watch Thursday Night Football from outside the US, perhaps from a country that calls the NFL American football, a VPN is theoretically your best bet. However, Prime Video is one of the many major streaming services that block VPN traffic due to licensing deals. Watching Thursday Night Football on Twitch may be a workaround worth investigating.

Jordan Minor

Principal Writer, Software

My PCMag career began in 2013 as an intern. Now, I'm a senior writer, using the skills I acquired at Northwestern University to write about dating apps, meal kits, programming software, website builders, video streaming services, and video games. I was previously a senior editor at Geek.com and have written for The A.V. Club, Kotaku, and Paste Magazine. I'm the author of the gaming history book Video Game of the Year: A Year-by-Year Guide to the Best, Boldest, and Most Bizarre Games from Every Year Since 1977, and the reason everything you know about Street Sharks is a lie.

The Technology I Use

I use the newest Android and iOS smartphones for testing, but I currently use an iPhone 14 as my personal phone. I just hate that we gave up headphone jacks.

I've always favored gaming laptops over desktops. On that note, I have a 16-inch HP Envy with an Intel Core i9-13900H CPU and Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 GPU. No matter what machine I’m working on, an alarming amount of my personal and professional life revolves around cloud-synced Google Drive files.

For food subscriptions, my household sticks with CookUnity and HelloFresh for meals. Video streaming is a bit more complicated. While there are too many services to list, we're subscribed to most of the major ones. These days, I find myself drawn to HBO Max's movies and shows, as well as Peacock's reality trash.

I've been a lifelong Nintendo fan, and I sincerely believe the Nintendo Switch will go down as one of the best gaming consoles of all time. It has an unbelievable library of new and old games from Nintendo and third-party companies. The handheld/console hybrid approach makes playing games so much more flexible, a legacy that continues with the Nintendo Switch 2 and Valve’s Steam Deck.
