Catching the Thorns on the Big (or Small) Screen
There are two main ways to witness the Thorns weave their magic:

So, if you're already a Prime member, you're good to go! Just fire up the app and get ready for some Friday night NWSL fireworks.
Local Broadcasts: Some Thorns games might also be broadcast on local channels like ESPN or ESPN2. You can check the Thorns FC schedule on their website or the NWSL website to see if the upcoming match has a local broadcast. Pro tip: If you have a cable login, you can usually stream these games through the ESPN app.
Important Note: Remember, media coverage can be a fickle beast. Double-check broadcast details before kickoff to avoid a "where'd the Thorns go?" moment.
