To watch Thursday Night Football for free in 2025, there are several legal options available:
- Twitch (USA): Amazon owns Twitch and streams all Thursday Night Football games for free with ads, no subscription required. Using an ad blocker can reduce ads during viewing. This is a popular way to watch without Amazon Prime subscription.
- Local Broadcast: If living in a local market of the teams playing on Thursday Night Football (for example, Washington or Green Bay in the recent game), the game is also broadcast on a local TV station. So, over-the-air antenna users in those markets can watch for free.
- Free streaming platforms in some countries: In Australia, 7plus streams Thursday night games for free; in New Zealand, TVNZ+ and Duke channels provide free streams; in the UK, Channel 5 (5) streams some NFL games free.
- Free Trials: Amazon Prime Video itself, which has rights to Thursday Night Football, offers a 30-day free trial that can be used to watch the games temporarily without paying.
- NFL app and NFL Channel: They are free to use and provide coverage including some game day content, though streaming live Thursday Night Football typically requires the above options.
Summary: For free access, the easiest universal way is to watch on Twitch with ads, or watch via local broadcast if in a local team market. Otherwise, use free trials or local streaming services where available.
This covers the main legal and free methods to watch Thursday Night Football in 2025.
