Amazon has reached a deal with the NFL to stream "Thursday Night Football" games during the 2017 season, according to multiple people familiar with the agreement.
The one-year deal is worth approximately $50 million to the NFL, according to the people who spoke on the condition of anonymity because no official announcement was made. The 10-game package will be available to Amazon Prime subscribers.
The deal is worth about five times as much as the NFL's $10 million deal with Twitter, which streamed the Thursday prime-time games during the 2016 season.
The agreement previously was reported by the Wall Street Journal and the Sports Business Journal.
