The New York Giants have not played a game on a Friday since 1964 but that could change this year as the league has scheduled a game as part of their ‘Black Friday’ celebration.
Black Friday, of course, is the day after Thanksgiving — America’s biggest shopping day.
The game will be streamed on Amazon Prime and will be free to all.
Prime Video will kick off the 2023 holiday season with an early present for NFL fans, providing free access to the first Black Friday NFL game—even if you’re not a Prime member yet. The game will stream exclusively on Prime Video November 24, and is expected to kick off at 3 p.m. EST.
“It’s such an unusual day because so many people have it off work, so it’s really a unique opportunity to expose all fans to our broadcast,” Prime Video vice president Jay Marine said.
NBC Sports columnist Peter King has a hunch that the game will be between the Giants and their hated rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles.
The first game ever on Friday afternoon after Thanksgiving is a very big deal for Amazon on the biggest shopping day of the year. I think the leader in the clubhouse for that game is Eagles-Giants. Absolutely not set in stone, though.
The Giants last played on a Friday on September 25, 1964 at Yankee Stadium against Washington. It was their first home night game in 26 years. The Giants won the game, 13-10, on a one-year run by quarterback Gary Wood.
The NFL will officially release its 2023 regular season schedule on Thursday, May 11.
