If you have an Amazon Prime account, it's going to do more than just get you free two-day delivery over the next three years and that's because the company has agreed to a new deal with the NFL that will allow the tech giant to stream Thursday games through 2022. The two companies announced on Wednesday that they've agreed to a deal that will allow Amazon to stream Thursday Night Football games for the next three seasons. Under terms of the deal, Amazon will be allowed to stream 11 TNF games per year on both Prime Video and Twitch. The 11 Thursday games in the deal will be the same 11 that air on Fox each season.
The upcoming NFL season will mark the fourth straight year that Amazon has been streaming games. The company first acquired Thursday streaming rights in 2017 after outbidding online companies like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. The tech giant than re-upped with the NFL in 2018 with a two-year deal that was worth an estimated $130 million (or $65 million per season). Although exact terms of the new deal haven't been released yet, CNBC has reported that Amazon will be paying more than $65 million per season this time around, which means the total value of the new three-year deal is likely worth more than $200 million.
