Amazon was awarded Tuesday the streaming rights to 10 of the NFL's Thursday Night Football games for the 2017 season, according to SportsBusiness Journal's John Ourand.
Amazon reportedly paid $50 million for the rights, which is five times more than what Twitter paid a season ago. Ourand added Facebook and YouTube also bid for the streaming package.
According to Ourand, Thursday Night Football broadcasts on Amazon will only be accessible to Amazon Prime customers. Conversely, fans who wanted to stream games on Twitter last season could do so by signing up for the social media service free of charge.
