Thread: NFL to air Thursday Night Football package exclusively on Amazon in 2022, one year earlier than planned

Thursday Night Football will move to a digital-only format with Amazon Prime Video in 2022, a year earlier than originally announced, the NFL said Monday.

As a result, 2021 will mark the final season of the Thursday night package on FOX.

The NFL's quicker-than-expected shift to a larger streaming package reflects trends accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, among other factors. It is part of a larger set of broadcast deals the NFL reached in March that will also expand digital distribution for all of its current broadcast partners, including FOX, CBS, NBC and ABC/ESPN.

There are a number of ways to watch all the games live or plausibly live through a VPN and various websites or apps. Particularly if you have Amazon Firestick, these games are easily accessible. Is it legal? I dunno. I know that they won't trace the broadcast back to me. I doubt they're willing to find where I live to try to arrest me plus I'm not rebroadcasting it to anyone else. I'm just the end user. It's the websites that are taking that gamble.

I don't care who is taking the gamble. I won't knowingly buy stolen goods, physical or otherwise
