The NFL is in the middle of wrapping up its latest round of broadcast rights with television networks and streaming services. For the most part we’ll see more of the same for years to come — CBS and FOX carry Sunday morning/afternoon games, NBC has Sunday Night Football, ESPN/ABC has Monday Night Football — but Thursday Night Football is a different story.
A Wall Street Journal report says that the league is in talks with Amazon to take over the bulk of the TNF package and stream the games exclusively on Prime Video. If a deal is struck, the move off of the FOX/Amazon Prime/NFL Network simulcasts wouldn’t take effect until after the 2022 season.
