what channel will thursday night football be on

For the current NFL media deal, regular-season Thursday Night Football games are shown on Amazon Prime Video, which is a streaming service rather than a traditional cable TV channel.

If you’re looking for a specific week’s matchup (for example, “Who plays this Thursday and where can I watch it?”), the exact listing can vary slightly depending on:

• Your location and local affiliate simulcasts for the home markets.

• Whether it’s a special late-season or holiday game that the NFL might also place on traditional networks like Fox, NBC, or NFL Network in addition to Prime Video.

But as a rule of thumb for the latest seasons:

• Regular Thursday night NFL package: Amazon Prime Video (streaming).
• Occasionally, select games may simulcast on local broadcast stations in the teams’ markets and sometimes on NFL Network, but Prime Video is the primary home for TNF.

As of early January 2026, there are weeks (such as the start of the playoffs) where there is no Thursday Night Football game at all, so on those Thursdays there simply isn’t a TNF broadcast on any channel.
