Black Friday is just around the corner, and this year, it comes with an exciting twist: NFL football! For the third year in a row, we’ll have a game to enjoy in the afternoon. This time, the matchup between the Bears and Eagles will stream on Prime Video without requiring a Prime subscription.
Amazon has announced that this game will be available for free globally. However, there’s a catch—it’s not truly global. It won’t be viewable in Canada or some other countries, which somewhat limits its reach.
This arrangement benefits both the NFL and Amazon. With a broader audience, the NFL can attract more viewers, especially as new broadcast deals loom. According to a recent survey by Statista, sports streaming services have seen a 40% increase in viewership over the past two years. This trend shows that more people are looking to online platforms for their sports fix.
For Amazon, having a larger audience is a chance to promote its Black Friday deals. By analyzing past buying habits, Amazon can tailor advertisements and offers during the game.
Even if you don’t have a Prime subscription—and you’re not in Chicago or Philadelphia—you can still catch the action. So grab some snacks and get ready for a day of football and deals!
