NFL Announces Amazon Prime Video as Home of Thursday Night Football Beginning in 2022
The NFL announced that Amazon Prime Video will be the exclusive home of Thursday Night Football beginning in the 2022 season. Amazon will distribute primetime's second most-watched show across hundreds of compatible digital devices. The NFL's original agreement with Amazon, announced as part of a larger series of media distribution deals this past March, had Amazon Prime Video hosting Thursday Night Football starting with the 2023 season.
As a result, the 2021 season will be the last for Thursday Night Football on FOX. FOX will continue to produce the National Football Conference (NFC) package of Sunday afternoon games with a focus on America's Game of the Week, the most-watched show across television for the last 12 seasons and the most-watched NFL window for the last 20 seasons.
The NFL and Amazon first partnered on Thursday Night Football as part of a tri-cast distribution model during the 2017 season, initially with CBS/NBC and then FOX starting in 2018.
The NFL continues to be the only sports league that delivers all its games – regular season and playoffs – on free, over-the-air television.
NFL Football Operations’ mission is to establish a culture of clarity, consistency and credibility in all aspects of the greatest game. Football is an essential piece of America’s fabric, uniting fans, players and communities with a simple yet powerful bond. We honor the game’s history while continuing to innovate and preserve the sport for future generations of fans, players, coaches, teams and officials.
