The countdown to kickoff has begun! Amazon Prime Video is bringing back the beloved "Thursday Night Football" for another thrilling season, with the legendary duo of Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit returning to call the action. The NFL officially unveiled the 2026 schedule on May 14, and it's packed with 16 weeks of primetime matchups that will have fans on the edge of their seats.
For the 10th straight year, Amazon Prime Video holds the broadcast rights to "TNF," ensuring you won't miss a single snap. The regular season kicks off with a historic twist: the first game in Australia takes place in Melbourne on September 10, pushing the first official "TNF" game to Week 2. That means you'll have to wait just a little longer for your Thursday night fix, but trust us, it's worth the wait.
There's one scheduling quirk to note: NBC retains the rights to the Thanksgiving primetime game, so Amazon will instead air a special Black Friday showdown during Week 12. It's a perfect opportunity to grab some post-feast football while shopping for your next game-day gear!
Here's the full 2026 "Thursday Night Football" schedule, featuring iconic venues like Highmark Stadium (Buffalo Bills), Allegiant Stadium (Las Vegas Raiders), SoFi Stadium (Los Angeles Chargers and Rams), Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Atlanta Falcons), U.S. Bank Stadium (Minnesota Vikings), Levi's Stadium (San Francisco 49ers), MetLife Stadium (New York Giants and Jets), AT&T Stadium (Dallas Cowboys), Lucas Oil Stadium (Indianapolis Colts), State Farm Stadium (Arizona Cardinals), Lincoln Financial Field (Philadelphia Eagles), Ford Field (Detroit Lions), NRG Stadium (Houston Texans), Gillette Stadium (New England Patriots), Lumen Field (Seattle Seahawks), and Empower Field at Mile High (Denver Broncos).
Whether you're hosting a watch party or hitting the stadium, this season's lineup promises edge-of-your-seat action. Gear up with the latest apparel from your favorite teams and make every Thursday night unforgettable!
