The very first Thursday Night Football game of the 2022 season will be between the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers. Can you watch the game without Amazon Prime?

The very first Thursday Night Football game of the 2022 season will take place on Sept. 15, with the Kansas City Chiefs hosting the Los Angeles Chargers in an AFC West divisional matchup. But, this begins a new era for NFL games on Thursday nights.

Starting this season, Thursday Night Football will be streaming on Amazon Prime Video and will not air on national television like it has in years past. With that, there are no doubt going to be fans wondering if they have to sign up for an account to watch Thursday Night Football games.

We have the answer for you.

Can you watch Thursday Night Football without Amazon Prime?

The answer is no, if you are outside the markets of the teams playing on Thursday nights.

For those that are in the market for specific Thursday Night Football games, the local broadcasts should be available to watch on television. You can use a streaming service such as fuboTV to watch those local broadcast, but only if you are live in the market of one of the two teams playing. fuboTV offers a seven-day free trial in case you are interested.

Even if you do not plan on creating and paying for an Amazon Prime account, they are offering a 30-day free trial. That will give you the opportunity to watch up to four games for free!

Long story short, if you want to watch every Thursday Night Football game of the 2022 season, you will need an Amazon Prime account.
