Prime Video launches its 12-game 2021 NFL season schedule this week, as the Los Angeles Rams take on the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday Night Football. Prime Video’s schedule this season culminates with an NFL Wild Card playoff game in January.
TNF on Prime Video premieres at 8:20 pm ET with Andrea Kremer and Hannah Storm in the broadcast booth for the fourth straight year. Just as in previous years, Prime Video and Twitch will offer multiple-announcer feeds to give fans the opportunity to tailor their game-day experience to their own preferences.

This feed will be available to viewers exclusively on Twitch.
To switch back and forth between announcer feeds on Prime Video, users can simply open the device settings, select the broadcast of their choice, and enjoy the game. The Twitch feeds will be found on separate channels on that platform.
Amazon X-Ray and Enhanced Replays
X-Ray for TNF gives fans real-time access to live stats and data previously only available to coaches and announcers, allowing fans to understand the game without taking their eyes off the screen. Fans watching TNF on Fire TV can also use X-Ray to shop for officially licensed NFL merchandise from their favorite teams, without leaving the app.
Enhanced replays, which launched last season on Prime Video, allow fans to rewatch top plays from throughout the game in real-time, giving them access to deeper analysis and insights derived from in-game team and player-performance data.

The new player tracking feature helps to further contextualize the major plays throughout the game, making it easier for fans to follow the action.
The X-Ray feature is available for fans streaming TNF on Web, Android, iOS, and Fire TV. To access X-Ray during the game, fans watching on Prime Video can simply flip their mobile device or click ‘up’ on their Fire TV remote.
