Where can I watch the Thursday Night Football game?

The New England Patriots vs. New York Jets TNF game will be available to stream on Amazon Prime Video. If you’ll be streaming on your smartphone or tablet, you can stream the matchup with your NFL+ subscription. And if you are a local viewer, you can watch the game on FOX or ABC.

You will need an Amazon Prime Video account to watch Thursday Night Football for the rest of the 2024 NFL season (and until the 2033 season).

Let’s kick off with the prices, Amazon and NFL’s deal, and the Thursday Night Football games you won’t want to miss.

Find reliable internet service providers in your area to avoid lag and buffering during your NFL game-watching.

Amazon Prime Video prices and plans

Prime Video, Amazon’s streaming service, owns the rights to TNF since 2022. So it's no surprise that a majority of Americans opt for Prime Video when it comes to sports—and it’s here to stay, as they signed an 11-year deal.

Amazon will be paying $1 billion to the NFL to stream the primetime games until the 2033 season.

You can order Amazon Video for $9 per month, but you might upgrade to the Amazon Prime membership for $6 more to receive free speedy Prime shipping.

Let’s say it’s Wednesday afternoon, and you have friends coming over for the Giants vs. Cowboys game tomorrow. You’re at work and realize you need more beer glasses (at an unbeatable price). Well, Amazon Prime is to the rescue.
