Finding your Thursday Night Football game on DIRECTV depends on a few factors, primarily the specific game and your DIRECTV package. Let's break down how to locate the game and address some common questions.
Where to Find Thursday Night Football on DIRECTV
Generally, Thursday Night Football is broadcast on either NFL Network or Amazon Prime Video. The key difference lies in how you access each:
-
NFL Network (for some games): If the game is airing on NFL Network, you'll find it on your DIRECTV channel lineup. The specific channel number varies depending on your region and package. Check your DIRECTV channel guide (usually accessible through your remote) or the DIRECTV website using your account login. Look for "NFL Network."
-
Amazon Prime Video (for many games): Many Thursday Night Football games are now exclusively streamed on Amazon Prime Video. This requires an Amazon Prime Video subscription separate from your DIRECTV service. You would need to use your Amazon Prime Video app on a compatible device (like a smart TV, streaming stick, or game console) to watch the game. While DIRECTV doesn't directly carry the stream, their equipment might be used to access Prime Video.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Here are some frequently asked questions about watching Thursday Night Football on DIRECTV:
What channel is Thursday Night Football on DIRECTV tonight?
There isn't a single answer to this. The channel changes from week to week, even moving from NFL Network to Amazon Prime. You must check your DIRECTV channel guide or the NFL or Amazon Prime schedules for the current week's broadcast information.
Does DIRECTV include NFL Network?
NFL Network is available on most DIRECTV packages, but not all. Check your DIRECTV subscription details or contact customer service to confirm if you have access to NFL Network.
Do I need Amazon Prime to watch Thursday Night Football on DIRECTV?
Even though you use your DIRECTV equipment, you will need a separate Amazon Prime subscription to watch games that air exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. It's not included in your DIRECTV package.
How can I find my DIRECTV channel lineup?
You can access your DIRECTV channel lineup through:
- Your DIRECTV remote: Most remotes have a guide button to display your channel listings.
- The DIRECTV website: Log into your account on the DIRECTV website to view your channel package information.
- The DIRECTV app: Use the DIRECTV app on your smartphone or tablet to check your channel lineup.
What if Thursday Night Football isn't on my DIRECTV package?
If NFL Network isn't part of your package, you may need to upgrade your subscription to include it to watch games broadcast on that network. If the game is exclusively on Amazon Prime Video, you would need to subscribe to Amazon Prime separately.
Remember to always check the official NFL website and Amazon Prime Video schedule for the most up-to-date broadcasting information to avoid missing the game!
