You can watch Cowboys vs Lions on national streaming and on local TV in each team’s home market.

Main ways to watch

  • Amazon Prime Video (nationwide TNF home)
    • The game is carried as a Thursday Night Football matchup, streamed nationally on Prime Video for viewers across the US.
* You need an active Amazon Prime or standalone Prime Video subscription and can watch via the Prime Video app on smart TVs, streaming devices, phones, or browsers.
  • Twitch (select free stream)
    • For some TNF games, including Cowboys vs Lions, there is an official free stream on Amazon’s Twitch channel, viewable in a browser or Twitch app without cable.
  • Local over‑the‑air TV (team markets only)
    • In Detroit and Dallas markets, the game is simulcast on local Fox stations in addition to Prime Video.
* Examples mentioned: Fox 2 (WJBK) in Detroit and Fox 4 (KDFW) in Dallas, available with an antenna or standard local TV packages.
  • Live TV streaming services
    • Services that include your local Fox affiliate (like many cable-alternative bundles) will show the game if you are in the Cowboys or Lions home markets, since they simply carry the local Fox feed.
* Some guides highlight options like Fubo, which offers trials and carries Fox 2 Detroit where available.
  • Radio and audio options
    • Lions fans can listen on 97.1 The Ticket and other Lions Radio Network affiliates, while a national audio broadcast is carried by Westwood One.
