Amazon will replace Twitter as the rightsholder to stream 10 of the NFL’s Thursday Night Football games next season after agreeing to pay the league around $50 million, a person familiar with the deal told Recode.
Amazon will offer the game for free to Amazon Prime subscribers around the world, according to the report, which added that CBS and NBC would also have the rights to stream the games they broadcast and also that Verizon could stream the games to its subscribers.
While Twitter had offered the streaming of NFL games to logged-out users, Amazon Prime membership comes with a charge.
