“Thanksgiving is synonymous with football and we’re excited to give our fans another day of NFL action during this holiday weekend,” NFL Media chief operating officer Hans Schroeder said in a statement. “Amazon is uniquely positioned to partner with us for this game as Black Friday is one of the most important days of the year for their business.”
The announcement comes after the NFL and Prime Video teamed up this season to make the streaming giant the new home of “Thursday Night Football.” Under their deal, Prime Video will carry 15 “TNF” games per year through the 2032 season.
