How to watch Thursday Night Football without cable

Where to watch Thursday Night Football

Amazon Prime Video is the official, exclusive home to “Thursday Night Football” – you won’t find it on a traditional broadcast network. If Amazon isn’t for you, you can still access Thursday Night Football games on NFL Plus, the NFL’s own exclusive streaming platform.  

Watch on Amazon Prime Video

Amazon Prime Video has quickly established a foothold in the web-based on-demand streaming market. For the last few years, they’ve been the exclusive home of “Thursday Night Football,” and its library of high-quality originals, like “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” and “The Boys” means you’ll have plenty to keep you entertained while you wait for Thursday to roll around. 

With Amazon Prime Video, you’ll get a handful of live “Freevee” channels like ION and CW Forever, a smattering of news channels and other networks dedicated to 24-hour streams of classic TV favorites. 

While Amazon Prime Video doesn’t offer a dedicated DVR, it does automatically record certain live sports events, like “Thursday Night Football,” so you won’t miss a second of mid-week NFL action (unless your team isn’t doing well and you need to look away). 

Watch on NFL Plus

If the NFL is your only live sports need, you might be interested in NFL Plus. With NFL Plus, you’ll find live local and primetime games for both the regular and postseason on your mobile device, access to NFL Network, ad-free highlights, fantasy football roster tools and more. The more expensive tier, NFL Plus Premium, also gets you NFL RedZone and game replays, too. 

You won’t find a DVR or even live networks outside of the NFL umbrella with NFL Plus, but if you only need live NFL games, NFL Plus has you covered.
