Where to watch the Baltimore Ravens - Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFL game

If you're used to casually turning the TV on to catch weekly "TNF" games every season, you should know that the world of NFL streaming has changed this year. After a few years of being available simultaneously on up to three platforms, "Thursday Night Football" will now stream live games exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. You'll need an Amazon Prime membership or Amazon Prime Video membership to watch.

Amazon Prime membership, $15 per month or $140 annually

Starting with the 2022 NFL season, live "Thursday Night Football" games will stream exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. This marks the first year of an 11-year deal between the NFL and Prime Video, meaning you can catch "TNF" games now through 2033 on the retail giant's streaming platform. 

Play-by-play legend Al Michaels, late of "Sunday Night Football," and Kirk Herbstreit, best known as an analyst for ESPN's "College GameDay," will have the calls. Amazon has updated its X-Ray feature, which enables real-time stats, enhanced replays, trivia, player analysis, polling and merch shopping while you stream the games. 

A subscription to Amazon Prime typically costs $15 monthly or $140 annually. Eligible students, EBT, Medicaid and other select recipients of government assistance can score a 50% discount on the service. 

If you're only interested in Prime Video and want to pass on the rest of Amazon Prime's benefits, you can also subscribe solely to Amazon Prime Video's streaming library for $8 per month. Not ready to commit to a new subscription? Amazon offers new subscribers a 30-day free trial, so you can watch live NFL action all month long, plus check out other TV shows and movies offered by Prime Video.
