Thursday Night Football is back for another week, streaming exclusively on Prime Video. The Cincinnati Bengals will face off against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday (Nov. 16).
Additionally, football fans can tune in to Thursday Night Football to score exciting holiday deals announced during the broadcast. With Thanksgiving just one week away, the holiday will officially launch soon, and Amazon is helping Prime members secure exclusive holiday deals on Amazon devices and other times while you watch football. Plus, you’ll find plenty of game-day gear at Amazon and must-haves for your next tailgating party. Amazon’s Black Friday event starts on Friday, Nov. 17.
Like other TNF games, tonight’s pregame coverage will launch an hour before the Ravens vs. Bengals matchup. This week’s game is scheduled to start at 8 p.m. ET, while the TNF Tonight pregame coverage kicks off at 7 p.m. ET.
The TNF season opener hit a streaming high with 15.05 million people tuning in to watch the Philadelphia Eagles win over the Minnesota Vikings (34-28). The ratings increased by two million from the previous season, per The Hollywood Reporter.
Prime Video scored another ratings high this season after Taylor Swift made a surprise appearance at the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Denver Broncos game on Oct 12.
Swift was in the building to support her new flame, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and witnessed Kansas City triumph over the Broncos (19-8). Ratings for the game spiked to 13.83 million viewers — a 57 percent increase compared to a TNF football game around the same time last year, per Deadline.
The Grammy winner is no stranger to Prime Video and TNF. Swift premiered a teaser trailer for her Midnights album during a TNF game last year.
In other music news, 2 Chainz hosts the second season of Amazon Music Live, which began on Sept. 21. The weekly concert series airs after Thursday Night Football, with season two featuring performances from stars such as Ed Sheeran, Lil Durk, Feid and Metro Boomin.
Last year, Amazon secured exclusive rights to stream Thursday night NFL games on Prime Video, marking a new era for sports fans, including the first-ever Black Friday game airing on Nov. 24.
Garth Brooks will headline the Amazon Music Live Concert on Black Friday. The Grammy winner will treat fans to a “Diver-Bar” concert event live streamed from the grand opening of Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky-Tonk, Brooks’ new bar in Nashville. The first-of-its-kind Black Friday concert will stream on Prime Video and Twitch at 7 p.m. ET.
“Amazon Music Live and Garth Brooks are coming together for Black Friday after the game to livestream a special ‘Dive Bar’ concert from the grand opening of the Friends In Low Places Bar and Honky-Tonk in Nashville,” said Brooks said in a statement. “We’ve already seen over 3 million entries to win a chance to attend, and thanks to our friends at Amazon, this episode will ensure that everybody who wants to see this show can. Not only will the people see the Friends bar for the first time, but they will also hear new music live for the first time…and if you know us, we will be playing the old stuff, as well.”
Prime Video subscribers can log in to the platform to begin streaming the game on Thursday in addition to previous games from last season that are available to stream right now.
