Prime Video announces first college sports deal with Duke
The agreement will allow Prime Video to stream three neutral site Duke men’s basketball games per season.
Prime Video is turning into quite the sports platform. The streamer carries weekly NFL games on Thursday nights, and is now a key partner of the NBA as well. But Prime Video has never stepped into the college sports space, until now. The streamer has announced a new deal with Duke University to present three neutral-site men’s basketball games per year.
Key Details:
- Welcoming royalty: Prime Video will stream three Duke men’s basketball games per year.
- Marquee matchups: This year, games will include contests against Gonzaga, Michigan, and UConn.
- Big week: One of this year’s games is scheduled for the day before Thanksgiving.
Prime Video has a multi-year agreement to present three Duke men’s basketball games per season. It’s the first college sports deal in Prime Video history, and will bring Duke basketball to a national audience on yet another major platform.
In the 2026-27 season, Duke will face three premium opponents on Prime Video, including reigning national champion Michigan and basketball powerhouses Gonzaga and UConn. All games will be produced by Prime Video, with announcing teams and other details to be revealed at a later date.
“It’s exciting to bring this relationship with Duke University to life, and we’re looking forward to presenting this premium college basketball showcase to fans around the world next season and beyond,” Prime Video Sports executive Charlie Neiman said. “Duke basketball games transcend the schedule, and the creation of this all-new offering gives fans more of what we all want, marquee matchups featuring the most successful programs in the nation.”
See the schedule of games below. The Duke vs. UConn game is set for Wednesday, Nov. 25, the day before Thanksgiving. Prime Video also traditionally hosts an NFL game on Black Friday, so Thanksgiving week is shaping up to be a big one for sports on the streamer.
| Date | Time (ET) | Game | Platform(s) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nov. 25 | TBD | Duke vs. UConn | Prime Video |
| Dec. 21 | TBD | Duke vs. Michigan | Prime Video |
| Feb. 20, 2027 | TBD | Duke vs. Gonzaga | Prime Video |
“In addition to our outstanding partnership with ESPN, we are excited to work with Prime Video on this groundbreaking initiative,” Duke Athletics VP Nina King said. “As Prime Video’s first college sports partner, this collaboration not only expands the global reach of Duke Men’s Basketball but also creates meaningful opportunities for our student-athletes in a way that reflects innovation and excellence.”
