Let's get the big one out of the way: to watch Thursday Night Football on Prime Video, you'll need a Prime membership. Think of it as your VIP pass to the party. You get access to the game, plus a treasure trove of movies, TV shows, faster shipping (perfect for those last-minute football snacks), and a bunch of other perks that make you feel like a champion even before kickoff.

QuickTip: Take a pause every few paragraphs.
Now, for those of you who are the frugal friends of the friend group (we appreciate you!), there might be a glimmer of hope. Here's the thing: during the 2023 season, Amazon offered a free stream of the Black Friday TNF game on their Twitch channel, even for non-Prime members. While there's no guarantee they'll do it again, it's worth keeping an eye out, especially for those crucial games that impact your fantasy team's (or your dignity's) fate.
