The NFL week 8 clash between the Baltimore Ravens and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will continue off an 11-year partnership in which Amazon Prime Video is the new home of Thursday Night Football. It’s the first time a streaming service has secured exclusive, season-long streaming rights to NFL games in the US.
The $1.2 billion-per-year contract kicked off in September, and will continue on Oct. 27, with the Ravens looking like the favorites as they take on the Bucs who are recovering from their shocking 21-3 loss to the Carolina Panthers.
Both the NFL and Amazon heavily promoted the new deal after confusion over how to stream San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals back in 2020.

All 15 Thursday Night Football games will be played live on Prime Video and will be included with your Prime membership.
How to sign up to Amazon Prime, and is there a free trial?
Good news for NFL fans new to the service, new customers can sign up for a free 30-day trial which means if you sign up on the day of the first game (Thursday, 15 September), you will be able to view five games absolutely free.
After that trial period a Prime membership costs $14.99 per month plus tax. Amazon also offers Prime Video a standalone streaming service without shopping features for $8.99.
