The NFL announced new media rights agreements yesterday, March 18th, including a deal with Amazon Prime Video that gives the streaming service exclusive rights to Thursday night football beginning in 2022.
Commissioner Roger Goodell said yesterday, “This provides our fans with greater access. We want to provide our games on more platforms than ever before.”
Amazon has streamed 11 Thursday night games since 2017, but it will take over the entire package from Fox, which has had it since 2018. The new contracts also mean the NFL will nearly double its media revenue to more than $10 billion a season.
