The 2023-2024 NFL season officially begins Thursday, September 7 when the defending Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, host the Detroit Lions on Thursday Night Football.

Most Thursday night games will stream on Prime Video, but the Chiefs/Lions matchup will actually air on NBC and Peacock, with next week’s Thursday night game between the Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles available on Prime Video.

There are a variety of ways to watch the NFL this season, with football games streaming on a variety of networks and over-the-top services.
