Last season, besides watching the Rings of Power or online shopping, a new feature was added
to Amazon Prime. The NFL came to Prime during the 2022 season. They broadcast Thursday Night
Football and during the season Amazon averaged 9.58 million viewers per game. They also earned 5
Emmy nominations for the broadcast.

This season Amazon will look to duplicate that success as it returns for the 2023 season as the exclusive home to Thursday Night Football.

For 2023, they will feature all 14 playoff teams from the season before. Their first game will be
during the preseason on Thursday, August 24th when the Indianapolis Colts travel to play the
Philadelphia Eagles.

The regular season opener on Amazon Prime will be on Thursday September 14th when the Minnesota Vikings will play the Eagles in Philly.

Amazon will also visit Allegiant Stadium aka “the Death Star” when the Los Angeles Chargers travel to Vegas to play the Raiders on December 14th.

A new game for 2023 will be played on Black Friday. This will be available free to watch to all.
The game will feature the Miami Dolphins traveling to play the new look New York Jets with
quarterback, Aaron Rodgers.

The broadcast features play by play announcer Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit as the color
commentator. The pregame, half-time, and post-game are all hosted by Charissa Thompson who
features analysis from the likes of Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez. Coverage kicks off at 7 pm eastern.

Marie Donoghue, vice president of global sports video of Amazon is excited for the upcoming
season. “We are excited to feature a schedule filled with the game’s brightest stars and many marquee
matchups,” “We start with two tremendous NFC battles, as the Vikings visit the Eagles, and the Giants
face the 49ers. We are looking forward to visiting so many great NFL stadiums with amazing
atmospheres—we can’t wait for the season to start!”
