This week, Thursday Night Football is on a brief hiatus while the NFL celebrates Thanksgiving (and kicks off Week 12 of the season) with its usual trio of games. But this Friday, the NFL is putting on its first-ever Black Friday game. Less than 100 days out from the 2024 Super Bowl, the NFL’s inaugural Black Friday game will see an AFC East clash between the Miami Dolphins (7-3) and the New York Jets (4-6). The matchup will stream on Amazon Prime Video, but unlike the platform’s usual weekly TNF games, the Black Friday football game will be free for anyone with an Amazon account — even the free tier!
So are you ready to watch some football? Here’s how to watch the NFL’s first Black Friday football game this week, plus our recommendations for the best ways to watch every NFL game this year, from now until Super Bowl LVIII.
