It’s a sportsball double-header today on Twitch! If you can’t wait to spam Twitch chat during NBA G-League basketball, you can get started a day early with Thursday Night Football.
We’re teaming up with Prime Video to air two upcoming NFL football games on Twitch, no Prime membership required.
Watching the game on Twitch is like hanging out on the world’s biggest couch. Chat is right there with you for every touchdown, every turnover, every questionable call, and every great one. Last week’s broadcast featured a game that came down to the wire, and the fans were out in force. Who other than Twitch Chat could come up with pure poetry like this:
Basically it’s kind of like esports… just without the ‘e’.
Want to see what happens when the Twitch community gets ahold of analog sports?
Here’s how to tune in:
Thursday, December 14th
Channel: twitch.tv/primevideo
First up, the Denver Broncos take on the Indianapolis Colts in Thursday Night Football. Coverage starts at 7:30 pm Eastern time, and kickoff is at 8:25.
After the game, stick around for a sneak peek at Jean-Claude Van Johnson, a new Prime Original that asks the question:
“What if Jean-Claude Van Damme — yes, THAT Jean-Claude Van Damme — was, in fact, a secret agent?”
Prime users can start binge watching Season 1 on Friday, but anyone with an Amazon account can check out the first episode this Thursday on Twitch after Thursday Night Football.

What better way is there to spend Christmas morning than curled up next to a warm laptop with a cup of cocoa and a hearty serving of Twitch chat?
Add the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Houston Texans to the mix, and you’ve got a nice, salty holiday meal the whole family can enjoy (or a great excuse to escape your family… no judgement).
Coverage starts at 3:30 pm Eastern with kickoff at 4:30.
