What sports rights are available on Prime Video in 2026?
The NBA is continuing its first season on Prime Video in 2026. What else is being offered on the streamer this year?
When a customer thinks of Prime Video, they will likely think of its beloved original titles like “The Boys” and “Fallout.” Barring that, shoppers might think of Prime Video as a fun added benefit to an Amazon Prime subscription, but the number of customers who think of the streamer as a sports platform is likely much smaller.
However, that would be a mistake, especially heading into the start of 2026. Prime Video has an underrated lineup of live sports, with games from multiple professional leagues. We’ll let you know which sports you can find on Prime Video now, and which others the streamer is planning to add in the near future.

What live sports will Prime Video offer in 2026?
We’ll start with the most obvious one here: Prime Video will continue to offer its package of NFL “Thursday Night Football” games in 2026, and while we don’t know if the streamer will get another exclusive playoff game this year, we are fairly certain that it will get its annual Black Friday contest.
The WNBA also plays games on Prime Video, including around 30 exclusive regular season matchups, the Commissioner’s Cup Final, and a first-round playoff series. The WNBA deal includes seven semifinal series, as well as three WNBA finals over its 11-season term. The NBA will also continue to stream contests from its 2025-26 season on Prime Video this year. The streamer gets 66 regular-season games in the United States each year as part of its deal with the league, as well as NBA Cup knockout round games, play-in tournament games, first-round playoff games, and even G League games.
Continuing in 2026, the NASCAR Cup Series offers five races on Prime Video, and the streamer is also the home for practice and qualifying sessions during the first half of the season.
The National Women’s Soccer League will play 25 Friday night matches on Prime Video during the regular season in 2026, as well as a quarterfinal match and one Challenge Cup match.
In the combat sports arena, Prime Video carries AEW pay-per-view events, as well as ONE Championship MMA fights, and Premier Boxing Champions events.
The platform is also slowly increasing the number of regional sports offerings it has in its arsenal. Prime Video currently distributes Seattle Storm WNBA games regionally; on the MLB side, it offers some New York Yankees games in the Bronx Bombers’ home television footprint; and Prime Video also streams all non-nationally televised Seattle Kraken games in that team’s home market. Currently, this is Prime’s only domestic NHL rights.
Finally, Prime Video also carries 20 games from the Overtime Elite basketball league, as well as Professional Pickleball Association events, and UTR Pro Tennis Tour matches.
What sports rights could Prime Video add in the future?
Prime Video is always on the lookout for new sports opportunities, and could be involved in talks for a larger package of NFL games should that league decide to sit down and negotiate new TV deals in 2026.
Does Prime Video offer sports in 4K?
While Prime Video has offered some English Premier League soccer games in the United Kingdom in 4K, it doesn’t provide a wide range of 4K sporting events in the United States.
Do you have to pay extra for sports on Prime Video?
No, Prime Video offers all of its sports rights on each plan tier. Ad-supported customers get the same sports access as ad-free ones do, with plans starting at $9 per month.
