If you subscribe to Spectrum, Optimum, Comcast, DIRECTV, DISH, and some Live TV Streaming Services, you can normally watch most NFL games – but this one won’t be available to most customers with cable or satellite. That’s because this is one of 15 Thursday Night Football games airing exclusively on Amazon Prime Video, which has a 30-Day Free Trial.
The once exception will be if you live locally in the Buffalo and Boston markets. For customers in Boston, you can watch it on WFXT (Boston’s FOX Affiliate) and in Buffalo, it is on WKBW (Buffalo’s ABC Affiliate). If not, you can watch it with a 30-Day Free Trial of Prime Video.
You can watch WFXT and WKBW with a 5-Day Free Trial of DIRECTV STREAM, along with fuboTV, Hulu Live TV, and YouTube TV. WFXT is also available with a subscription to Sling TV, which offers 50% OFF your first month.
Some cable boxes and satellite receivers, however, like the Comcast X1 device, will offer the ability to log-in to Amazon Prime Video, so you can stream the game.
