When Amazon Prime Video acquired the rights to Thursday Night Football ahead of the 2022 season, it kicked off the NFL’s foray into the streaming era. Two years later, you’ll need a variety of streaming services to catch every nationally-televised game, including Netflix’s new Christmas Day double-header.
Lucky for DISH subscribers, you can connect all of your football streaming apps to your internet-connected Hopper device, so you can seamlessly watch both local channels, as well as Thursday Night Football on Prime Video and Netflix’s Christmas games.
For Prime Video subscribers, there are a ton of compelling matchups to watch Thursday nights beginning Week 2. Here’s everything you need to know about watching Thursday Night Football on Prime Video with DISH. Not a DISH subscriber? Follow this link to find the best offer and subscribe to DISH today!
How to Watch Thursday Night Football with DISH
The first thing to know about Thursday Night Football games is that if your local NFL team is playing in one, you will be able to watch it on one of your local channels (the network varies by market but will always be one of the channels that carries NFL games on Sundays). So if you’re thinking of signing up for Amazon Prime just to see your local team play one or two games on TNF, don’t bother.
On the other hand, if you’re the type of person that does a lot of online shopping, you should definitely sign up for Amazon Prime. Not only will you get special shipping offers and discounts at both Amazon and Whole Foods, but you’ll be able to access Prime Video, the company’s streaming service and home to TNF. You can purchase Prime Video as a standalone streaming service for $8.99 per month, or get an Amazon Prime membership for $14.99 monthly or $139 annually (student discounts are also available).
Once you’ve activated your Prime subscription, you can access the app directly from your internet-connected DISH Hopper or Joey. Simply say “Amazon Prime Video” into your voice remote, hit the “Home” button on your remote to access the app from the home screen, or tune to channel 301. Once you’ve launched the app, follow the prompts to sign into your Amazon account. Follow this link for more information on how to watch Amazon Prime Video with DISH.
Who is the Thursday Night Football broadcasting team?
The Thursday Night Football crew is the same in 2023 as it was for Amazon’s inaugural season. Broadcasting legend Al Michaels will do play-by-play, while 14-time Emmy-winner Kirk Herbstreit will serve as game analyst, and Kaylee Hartung does sideline reports. For the wraparound show before and after the game, Charissa Thompson is returning to host, alongside analysts Tony Gonzalez, Richard Sherman, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Andrew Whitworth.
