How to watch or stream Thursday Night Football’s Week 8 during the 2024-2025 NFL season live online free without cable

The Minnesota Vikings ended their undefeated streak last week and found themselves in a two-way tie for the top of the NFC North, with the Green Bay Packers nipping at their heels. This week, the team has a chance to regain the lead.

The Los Angeles Rams might not be the definition of a fearsome opponent this year with their cellar-dwelling 2-4 record, but the return of wide receiver Cooper Kupp from the injured list could give the team a boost on offense. And the Rams are coming off of a win last weekend against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Here’s how to watch this week’s matchup and what you can expect from Thursday night games tonight (and in the weeks to come).

Can I stream NFL Thursday night games live online if I don't have an Amazon Prime account?

No. Amazon has exclusivity to all Thursday night games, with the exception of Thanksgiving night. Other streaming services can’t carry them.

Who is Amazon’s broadcast team?

Does the NFL offer any viewing packages to watch the Thursday night games?

The NFL App will let you stream games that are being broadcast locally in your market as well as any played in prime time.
