Thursday Night Football: Chargers @ Kansas City on Amazon Prime and NFL+

[Fountain City Blues]

I think there is a free 7 day trial for NFL+. for whatever it is worth.

 

[PDay8810]

curious if the game is shown on TV in the market of the two participating teams

 

[Dude]

I’m loving it because I have prime on all TVs so can watch game from anywhere.

 

[molsaniceman]

Either the reports of it being on NFL+ are deceptive as well as the display on NFLN I am watching right now claiming it will be, or it's on NFL+.


Guess we'll see.

as a replay I have nfl+ hell its only $5 and u can only watch live on your phone or tablet
now you can listen to it live
i watched mondays game on my phone
i believe if i connect my phone to tv with hdmi cable i can watch it there

its $10 for premium
Does NFL+ have live games?


Your Game. On the Go. NFL+ gives you the freedom to watch LIVE local & primetime Regular Season and Postseason games on the go on your phone or tablet. With NFL+ Premium, you can watch football on your schedule with full and condensed replays of every game

Yep. If you’re in a house that shops online prime essentially pays for itself. Streaming service is just a bonus.

not this one its a bargain

That's not true. It is shown on local TV stations.

LA Chargers @ Kansas City (Amazon) also KTTV (FOX 11) LA; KSHB (NBC 41) KC

The NFL is never going to neglect a home market when there is a sell out. Hell that is the major reason that they TOWER over any of the other major sports right now. They know how to grow and take care of their base and still expand and make money.

506 Sports - NFL Maps: Week 2, 2022

No I dont live in those markets. But I know how the NFL does it. Even when the "NFL Network" was the lone broadcaster of some of those early Thursday games, they would put it out on one of the ABC or Fox affiliates locally.

Like I said.....they know why their sport is as strong as it is. They have developed a fan base by making sure that the fans can watch. It is still hilarious to me that MLB and the NBA doesnt follow that model rather than put out their games where very few people locally can actually watch. Both of those leagues have still to get back to 2019 revenue. The NFL crushed 2019 revenue in 2021. It's not that hard of math. You arent going to expand your product by putting where few people can see it.

....if Amazon only had 75 million subscribers rather than 150 million in the US, you can bet your ass they dont get NFL games. The NFL is willing to cut off a little of their market.....but not a huge chunk of it. Fans are made by watching full games. Not by reading newspapers or watching 3 minutes replays on ESPN. If that worked, the US would actually have soccer fans in it the way ESPN and other broadcast media tried shoving that down our throat for 2 decades now.

dont be so sure saw this tidbit on 506 sports


I can't stress this enough.... the Amazon simulcast on local TV is for the immediate LA and KC areas only. NOT Topeka, NOT Wichita, NOT San Diego, or anywhere else that always gets Chiefs or Chargers games on TV. You have to watch on Amazon.

doesnt sound like their worried about the fans

they pissed alot of people off just having it on prime but who can turn down a billion dollars

Let's go!!!!

One of the reasons MLB is hellbent on inserting a pitch clock and upping stolen bases.

So there are no broadcast TV networks to watch this on? Guess I'm not watching Thursday night football this year...

Find a hoe at happy hour with amazon prime

I liked the 93' endzone

My favorite Chiefs endzone is the 1997...
