TNF Streaming: Prime Video, Twitch and NFL Plus
Thursday Night Football games are streamed nationally on Amazon Prime Video, giving NFL fans more incentive than free two-day shipping sign up for an Amazon Prime accountwhich costs $15 per month or $139 per year. You can also subscribe only Main Video for $9 a month.
Fans in local markets of each team playing Thursday night will be able to watch the game on the over-the-air channel, while those who don’t subscribe to any of Amazon’s services can watch for free on Twitch’s Prime Video channel. (Twitch is also owned by Amazon.)
If you sign up for NFL Plus, the league’s $7-a-month streaming service (or $15 a month with Red Zone included), you can also stream the game without a Prime or Prime Video subscription. Note that NFL Plus viewing is limited to viewing on a phone or tablet only, not on a computer or TV.
Thursday Night Football games are streamed live on Amazon Prime Video. For millions of Amazon Prime subscribers, the Prime Video channel is included at no additional cost. But if you’re not an Amazon Prime subscriber, you might have to shell out $9 a month for the standalone Prime Video service, not just for football but also for its impressive selection of shows and movies.
