The undefeated Philadelphia Eagles take on the Houston Texans in a Thursday Night Football prime time matchup. With Amazon Prime Video being the sole provider of Thursday Night coverage, you’ll want to sign up now in order to catch all of the action.
Initially set to start in 2023, Amazon and the NFL arranged for Amazon Prime Video to be the exclusive home of Thursday Night Football in 2022, earlier than planned. It’s a significant change for NFL fans, who will have to subscribe to Amazon Prime Video to access Thursday night games (exceptions: Sept. 8 [season opener] and Nov. 24 [Thanksgiving night] both on NBC).
It’s also the first time the NFL will air games locked behind a subscription service. While streaming services like Prime Video have aired live games before, it’s always been in tandem with a live broadcast on a network TV channel. Read on to learn how to watch Thursday Night Football live this season as the NFL puts these massive new broadcasting changes into action.
To watch Thursday Night Football games, you’ll need an Amazon Prime or Amazon Prime Video subscription. From there, you’ll be able to stream each game live Thursdays at 8:15 p.m. Eastern time. Prime Video will also offer pre-game and post-game coverage, analyses, and recaps.

Watch Thursday Night Football on Amazon Prime Video
An Amazon Prime membership costs $14.99 per month or $139 annually. The plan includes Amazon Prime Video for free, along with free one-day or two-day shipping on many products, access to Amazon’s music and book libraries, and exclusive discounts only available to Prime members. So if you’re looking for one of the best deals complete with entertainment, shopping, and convenience, an Amazon Prime membership is a no-brainer.
Amazon Prime Video by itself costs just $8.99 per month. With this plan, you’ll have access to the complete Prime Video library with thousands of popular movies, TV shows, and Amazon Originals like “The Boys” or “Patriot.” Just like with a Prime membership, you’ll be able to create up to six user profiles, stream on up to three devices simultaneously, and can try out the service with a 30-day free trial.
There is a catch, though. While NFL fans can watch the latest Thursday Night Football games live, Amazon Prime Video doesn’t have much more to offer regarding sports — at least, not without paying for additional subscriptions. As a result, true sports fans may want to purchase additional networks on Prime Video such as PGA Tour Live, NBA League Pass, or Paramount Plus for access to a more robust sports lineup.
