The Bills will host the Detroit Lions on Thursday Night Football. The game is set to kick off at 8:15 p.m. and will only be available to watch on Amazon Prime Video, except in the Buffalo market.
Viewers who have access to WKBW, Buffalo’s ABC affiliate, either by cable or antenna, will be able to watch the game on that station.
Everyone else will have to use an Amazon Prime subscription or visit a public place like a bar or restaurant that has one.
If you want to watch from home and don’t feel like paying for Amazon Prime, there is one free option available. Twitch, a live streaming service owned by Amazon, has traditionally streamed Thursday Night Football games on its PrimeVideo channel.
13WHAM would love to show the game, but NFL rules only permit one station in each team’s primary market to carry games like this one over the air.
The 13WHAM sports team will be in Orchard Park for Thursday night’s game. Stay tuned to 13WHAM News and the Buffalo Plus YouTube channel for coverage.
