Amazon will stream “Thursday Night Football” for three more seasons and get an additional game all to itself in a new deal with the NFL.
The new agreement covers the 2020, 2021 and 2022 seasons, which links up with the remaining years under Fox’s TV deal for the Thursday night franchise. A new wrinkle is that Amazon and its gaming platform Twitch will get exclusive rights to one late-season Saturday game each season. That game will only be available outside of Amazon in the participating teams’ home markets, where it will air on the respective local TV stations.
“As our relationship has expanded, Amazon has become a trusted and valued partner of the NFL,” said Brian Rolapp, Chief Media and Business Officer for the NFL.
