Can you watch Thursday Night Football on NFL Network and FOX? Not anymore.
If you’re looking to stream tonight’s Baltimore Ravens vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers game, it is airing exclusively on Amazon Prime Video, which offers a 30-Day Free Trial. But, can you watch on DIRECTV Satellite or DIRECTV STREAM?
Unfortunately, unless the matchup involves teams in your local market, DIRECTV won’t offer Thursday Night Football on either their satellite service or DIRECTV STREAM in your home. Outside those markets though, you will need Prime Video, which has a 30-Day Free Trial.
If you use the DIRECTV STREAM Device, you can download the Prime Video App and login to stream.

Can You Record Thursday Night Football Games?
All viewers will be able to join a live broadcast, pause, and rewind up to 15 minutes from the point that they turned the game on. However, if you want to watch from any point in the telecast after its starts, you will need to take advantage of Prime Video’s new DVR feature.
To do that, you have the option to set a recording for the entire season’s worth of “TNF” broadcasts. Once you do that, you will have the ability to pause, rewind, and fast-forward through the entire game when the game is live, and have access to full replays when the game is over.
And the good news is just like one-click checkout, one-click “Thursday Night Football” recording is already available.
