Amazon has reportedly reached a deal with the NFL to stream 10 Thursday Night Football games this year, the company confirmed to TechCrunch.<\/p>\n

The one-year deal is reportedly<\/a> valued at around $50 million.<\/p>\n

Last season Twitter had a one-year, $10 million deal with the league<\/a> to also stream 10 Thursday Night Football games. When that deal was announced it was reported that\u00a0Twitter beat out<\/a>\u00a0other companies like Amazon, Facebook and Verizon for the rights to the broadcasts.<\/p>\n

Viewers will have to be<\/a> Amazon Prime members in order to watch live, which is a departure\u00a0from last year\u2019s deal where games were available free for anyone on Twitter.<\/p>\n

However, like last year, the games will also be available<\/a> each week on cable TV, alternating between CBS, NBC and NFL Network.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not yet clear how Amazon will display the stream. While\u00a0viewership for Twitter\u2019s live streams were actually decent last season<\/a>, many complained<\/a> about how Twitter displayed the stream next to a timeline of tweets that distracted from the game.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re waiting on more details from Amazon and will update this post when we get them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
