Football on a Friday usually involves high schools, not the NFL. But as the league works with streaming services to broaden both of their audiences, change is in the air.
Amazon will host this season’s sole Friday night game, a perfect respite for people who just can’t handle holiday shopping for another minute. (Ironic, isn’t it?) And this year’s match will likely get some attention.
The Raiders? Well, this hasn’t been their year. But any game with the Chiefs draws a crowd—and an especially diverse fan base.
Here’s how to watch this Black Friday faceoff.
Which NFL teams are playing on Black Friday?
Haters are gonna hate, but that’s unlikely to slow either team down.
Friday, Nov. 29
Las Vegas Raiders vs Kansas City Chiefs, 3:00 p.m. ET on Amazon
Can I watch NFL games for free on broadcast television?
Not on Black Friday. Amazon has exclusive rights to today’s game. The only exceptions are people who are in the local broadcast zones of either team.
Can I stream NFL Thursday night games live online if I don’t have an Amazon Prime account?
You cannot. Amazon has exclusivity to all Thursday night games, with the exception of Thanksgiving night. Other streaming services can’t carry them.
Who is Amazon’s broadcast team?
Play-by-play is handled by the veteran Al Michaels. Kirk Herbstreit will once again contribute color commentary.
Does the NFL offer any viewing packages to watch the Thursday night games?
You bet! The NFL App will let you stream games that are being broadcast locally in your market as well as any played in prime time.
