It’s Thursday and that means Thursday Night Football streaming on Amazon Prime, right? Well, it’s a special Thursday today. Can you get Thanksgiving football through your service?

We all love that Amazon Prime now streams Thursday Night Football every week. Well, for 11 weeks out of the season. The downside is Thanksgiving football isn’t included in the membership.

Sorry! The three games today are all going to play on different networks throughout the day. CBS gets the first game, FOX the second, and the last game is over to NBC. None of them will be available through Amazon Prime Video this week.

Here’s all you need to know about the three games today and how you can get them live.

Game 1: Bears at Lions

More from TV on Amazon

Kicking off at 12:30 p.m. ET today, the Chicago Bears head to the Detriot Lions. There’s some good news if you have CBS All Access through your Prime Channels. Since the game is on CBS, you can watch the NFC East game through your All Access membership.

You can also watch the games direct on CBS and through other live methods that give you the CBS network.

Game 2: Redskins at Cowboys

Once you’ve done Thanksgiving lunch, it’s time to tune into FOX for the second game of the day. The Washington Redskins take on the Dallas Cowboys and this time it’s on FOX. If you have a cable subscription and prefer to watch on a mobile device or your Android TV, you can get the FOX Sports Go app.

FOX is also available through a number of live methods, including Hulu and YouTube TV. The game starts at 4:30 p.m. ET.

Game 3: Falcons at Saints

The final game is on at the usual Thursday Night Football time of 8:20 p.m. ET. This Thanksgiving football game will be on NBC, which you can watch through the NBC Sports SNF All Access. Annoyingly, you need to be a pay TV subscriber to get this.

There are other methods to catch the Atlanta Falcons head to New Orleans to take on the Saints. You just can’t catch it through Amazon Prime Video like you have the most recent Thursdays.

Live streaming the Thanksgiving football

So, what are your options? Each of the games can be watched via the NFL app. All the games are free but you’ll be limited to how you can view. It’s not possible to get the app through your TV, so you’ll be stuck on an Apple or Android mobile device.

Hulu Live and YouTube Live are options and you can sign up for free trials if you haven’t had them yet. This is great for those who want to get access for today.

I highly recommend FuboTV. You can sign up for a free trial and you’ll get all three networks easily. If you decide you like it, you can subscribe and continue to watch all the networks without paying for the overpriced cable subscriptions.
