The Buccaneers and Falcons each head into Thursday’s game fresh off a win. For Tampa Bay, last Sunday’s win propelled them to a division-leading 3-1 record. The Bucs’ offense has been steady over the first month of the season with quarterback Baker Mayfield consistently getting the ball into the hands of his two biggest playmakers, Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
At 2-2, the Falcons are a game behind the Buccaneers in the NFC South. The arrival of quarterback Kirk Cousins has not been the panacea for what has ailed Atlanta, but there have been flashes of the offense finding its rhythm. Wideouts Darnell Moody and Drake London have been productive, but running back Bijan Robinson has yet to hit his stride in his sophomore season.
These two NFC South foes will meet tonight in Atlanta, starting at 8:15 p.m. ET (5:15 p.m. PT). The game will stream nationally on Prime Video and for free on Twitch.
Kirk Cousins and the Atlanta Falcons host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers tonight on Thursday Night Football.

With YouTube and YouTube TV the exclusive home of NFL Sunday Ticket, along with games also streaming on Paramount Plus, Peacock and ESPN Plus, there’s lots for NFL fans to keep track of this season. Check out our picks for the best live TV streaming services for NFL fans in 2024.
TNF streaming: Prime Video, Twitch and NFL Plus
Thursday Night Football games are streamed nationally on Amazon Prime Video, giving NFL fans more incentive than free two-day shipping to sign up for an Amazon Prime account, which costs $15 a month or $139 a year. You can also subscribe only to Prime Video for $9 a month.
Fans in the local markets of each team playing on Thursday night will be able to watch the game on an over-the-air station, while those who don’t pay for either of Amazon’s services can watch for free on Prime Video’s Twitch channel. (Twitch is also owned by Amazon.)
If you subscribe to NFL Plus, the league’s $7-per-month streaming service (or $15 a month with Red Zone included), you can also stream the game without subscribing to Prime or Prime Video. Note that NFL Plus viewing is limited to watching on just a phone or tablet, not on a computer or TV.
Thursday Night Football games are streamed live on Amazon Prime Video. For millions of Amazon Prime subscribers, the Prime Video channel is already included at no extra cost. But if you’re not an Amazon Prime subscriber, it might be worth it to shell out the $9 a month for the stand-alone Prime Video service, not only for football but also its impressive selection of shows and movies.

Can I watch Thursday Night Football on local TV?
Yes, you can, if you live in the local market of either of the teams playing on Thursday. For this week, that’s Fox 13 (WTVT) in Tampa and Fox 5 (WAGA) in Atlanta. There are two ways to watch local channels on your TV. The first is with a live TV streaming service. And the second is with an over-the-air antenna, if you live in an area that has good reception.
Four of the five live TV streaming services carry Fox, but not every service carries every local network, so check each one using the links below to make sure it carries Fox in your particular area.
