When the 4-1 Kansas City Chiefs and 1-4 Denver Broncos meet tonight for Thursday Night Football, the whereabouts of Taylor Swift will be of more interest than the outcome of the game. The Chiefs have one of the league’s best offenses with Patrick Mahomes at the helm, while the Broncos have one of the NFL’s worst defenses so far this season. The game is unlikely to be close. Chiefs tight end and Swift paramour Travis Kelce is questionable for tonight’s game with an ankle injury, but Swift reportedly plans to be in attendance.
Keep reading to see your options for watching Thursday Night Football on Prime Video, Twitch, NFL Plus and — if you live in the home markets of the Chiefs or Broncos — a local network channel.
With YouTube and YouTube TV now the exclusive home of NFL Sunday Ticket, along with games also streaming on Paramount Plus, Peacock and ESPN Plus, there’s lots for NFL fans to keep track of this season. Check out our picks for the best live TV streaming services for NFL fans in 2023.
Thursday Night Football games are streamed nationally on Amazon Prime Video, giving NFL fans more incentive than free two-day shipping to sign up for an Amazon Prime account for $15 a month or $139 a year. You can also subscribe only to Prime Video for $9 a month.
Fans in the local market of each team playing on Thursday night will be able to watch on an over-the-air station, while those who don’t pay for either of Amazon’s services can watch for free on Prime Video’s Twitch channel. (Twitch is also owned by Amazon.)
If you subscribe to NFL Plus, the league’s $7-per-month streaming service (or $15 a month with Red Zone included), you can also stream the game without subscribing to Prime or Prime Video. Note that NFL Plus viewing is limited to watching on just a phone or tablet, not on a computer or TV.
Sling TV’s Sling Blue package includes local ABC and NBC stations but only in a handful of markets. Sling Blue costs $45 a month in markets where it offers local networks and $40 elsewhere. Read our Sling TV review.
