NEW YORK—The NFL and Amazon Prime Video have announced that first-ever NFL Black Friday game on November 24 will feature a classic AFC East showdown between the New York Jets and the Miami Dolphins.

Each Thursday Night Football game also streams live on Twitch and is available on over-the-air TV stations in the two home markets of the competing teams, as well as in Spanish language on Prime Video. 

“We’re excited to be the home of the first-ever NFL Black Friday game, and what better way to kick off this new tradition than with a rivalry matchup between the Dolphins and the Jets,” said Marie Donoghue, vice president of global sports video, Amazon. “On one of the biggest shopping days of the year, we’re thrilled to offer another way to delight Amazon customers, and give all fans free access to this AFC East showdown.”

Kickoff is slated for 3:00 p.m. EST, with Special Black Friday Football pre- and postgame coverage live and on-site from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. 

Amazon said the complete 2023 Thursday Night Football schedule will be released Thursday, May 11.
