Amazon Prime Video plans and pricing
Data effective as of post date. Offers and availability may vary by location and are subject to change.
You can watch Thursday Night Football games on Amazon by signing up for an Amazon Prime or Prime Video membership. The standard Amazon Prime subscription costs $14.99 monthly or $139.00 annually, while the basic Prime Video plan costs $8.99 monthly.
We prefer Amazon Prime because it includes Prime Video at no extra cost, plus signature benefits like free two-day shipping and other online shopping discounts. New members can try 30 days of Amazon Prime for free before being charged for the next membership period. If you only care about watching TNF, you can sign up in Week 2 and cancel your subscription anytime after that.
How to watch Thursday Night Football for free
There are a few ways to watch Thursday Night Football for free. First, TNF games still air locally in the broadcast regions of the two teams playing—meaning in-market viewers can tune in for free with an over-the-air (OTA) antenna.
Another way you can watch Thursday Night Football without an Amazon membership is through Twitch. The streaming platform hosts an alternate video feed on its Prime Video Twitch community during every TNF game.
Lastly, you can sign up for an Amazon Prime 30-day free trial, catch the game you want to see, and cancel your subscription. There’s no shame in that.
NFL content on Amazon Prime Video
Amazon Prime Video offers limited NFL content. But the service does host select replays and highlights.
The NFL has its own Prime Video storefront where you can view the service’s exclusive games and content. Accessing the storefront can be confusing because Prime Video is both a streaming service and a digital video store. But you can reach this content by selecting the Sports tab on the Prime Video home page. (Depending on your device, you might have to select a Categories tab before choosing Sports.)

Besides its 16 regular-season games, Prime Video will broadcast at least one NFL preseason game each year. The streaming service also hosts several on-demand movies and series centered around football that are worth checking out, including the All or Nothing docuseries.
Other options for watching NFL games
The NFL is everywhere on TV these days—meaning you’ll need a comprehensive TV plan to watch the most football games this season. Our How To Watch NFL Games page outlines this in greater detail.
YouTube TV is the best overall provider for watching the NFL. Not only does it carry every NFL channel, but it also holds the exclusive rights to NFL Sunday Ticket. Of course, only the most diehard NFL fans will want to go that route because the out-of-market package is pricey.
The easiest way to watch NFL games is by connecting an OTA antenna to your TV. A combination of locally and nationally televised games are accessible with an antenna, and a good one costs only between $20 and $60. We recommend entering your zip code on the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Reception Map Tool to verify which channels are within range of your home.
Is Amazon Prime Video worth it for NFL fans?
Thursday Night Football jumped entirely to Amazon Prime Video in 2022. Now, you’ll need an Amazon Prime ($14.99 a month) or a standalone Prime Video ($8.99 a month) subscription to watch every main TNF broadcast.
Signing up for a streaming service to watch only 16 NFL games is less than ideal. But Prime Video has an immense library of movies and shows to keep you entertained when games aren’t on. That’s a lot of value for a low monthly cost—especially if you’re already an Amazon Prime member soaking up its fast and free delivery benefits.
