TNF streaming: Prime Video, Twitch and NFL Plus
Thursday Night Football games are being streamed nationwide 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 to just Prime video for $9 a month.
Fans in the local markets of each team playing on Thursday night will be able to watch the game via an over-the-air channel, while those who don’t pay for one of Amazon’s services will watch for free on Prime Video’s Twitch channel(Twitch is also owned by Amazon.)
If you subscribe to NFL PlusThe league’s $7-a-month streaming service (or $15 a month with Red Zone included) also lets you stream the game without subscribing to Prime or Prime Video. Note that watching NFL Plus is limited to viewing on a phone or tablet, not 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 already included at no extra cost. But if you’re not an Amazon Prime subscriber, it might be worth shelling out $9 a month for the standalone Prime Video service, not just for the football, but also for the impressive selection of shows and movies.
