List of Thursday Night Football results (2006–present)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a detailed list of results and scores from National Football League (NFL) games aired on Thursday Night Football. Starting with the 2006 NFL season, NFL Network was awarded the rights to air Thursday night games regularly (with some extra broadcasts on Saturday nights under the NFL Network Exclusive Game Series branding). Previously, games played on Thursdays and Saturdays were broadcast on TNT, ESPN, and ABC. In 2014, CBS Sports shared rights with NFL Network for the package, with NBC Sports and Twitter joining CBS and NFL Network in 2016. From 2017 until 2021, Amazon Prime Video acquired non-exclusive streaming rights to stream all of the broadcast portion of Thursday Night Football games. In 2018, Fox Sports began to share rights with the NFL Network. Starting in 2022, Amazon became the exclusive home of Thursday Night Football, with the NFL Network airing select late-season Saturday games.

[edit]

The 2009 season featured a Friday night game on December 25, as the Thursday that week was Christmas Eve, and the NFL tried not to schedule games that night in deference to the holiday (a lone exception being a Monday Night Football game in 2007 due to scheduling conflicts caused by ESPN's broadcast contracts). Also, the start times were pushed back by five minutes, to 8:20 p.m. Eastern time (except for the December 25 game, starting at 7:30 PM EST/6:30 CST).

2014 season

[edit]

Starting with the 2014 season, the NFL and CBS signed a deal that would put part of the Thursday Night Football package on national prime-time. CBS Sports, with an NFL Network simulcast, would air eight games (mostly the first half), while the NFL Network would air the other eight games (mostly the second half) exclusively. The deal was for one year with the option of a second year in 2015, which the NFL chose to exercise.

2016 season

[edit]

For the 2016 and 2017 seasons, a new Thursday Night Football deal took effect. Thursday Night Football was now an 18-game schedule with CBS broadcasting 5 games, NBC broadcasting 5 games, and the NFL Network simulcasting the whole season with 8 games exclusively. CBS Sports and NBC Sports each produced 4 NFL Network-only games.[10] The NFL also sold the digital rights to the package separately to Twitter.[11] Due to scheduling conflicts, NBC Sports had Mike Tirico team up with Cris Collinsworth for the Giants-Eagles game. Tirico, Doug Flutie, and Tony Dungy also called Dolphins-Jets and Ravens-Steelers.

2017 season

[edit]

2017 marked the second and final year of the NFL's Thursday Night Football contract with CBS and NBC, as Fox would take over next season. Also, Amazon replaced Twitter as the digital rights holder. Also, along with the change in digital viewing, it was announced that there were 11 games simulcast between CBS, NBC, and NFL Network. While CBS kept the original 5 games, NBC simulcasted 6 games with NFL Network. Also, the change meant that CBS produced 4 NFL Network-only games, while NBC produced 3 NFL Network-only games, including a Week 15 Saturday doubleheader.[14] In addition, Mike Tirico replaced Al Michaels full-time on Thursday night games. Tirico became the new studio host, replacing Bob Costas, who retired from many major jobs with the network, like the Olympics. Michaels focused on Sunday night games, while Tirico handled Thursday nights with Cris Collinsworth or Kurt Warner.

Fox Sports produced all 18 regular season games with 11 of those games on the Fox network (between weeks 4–15).[15] Starting in 2018, the NFL moved the start time of Thursday Night Football back, from 8:25 p.m. ET to 8:20 p.m. ET. All TNF games on Fox were streamed online via Amazon Prime Video, which replaced Twitter in 2017, under the CBS/NBC contract, with fellow Amazon subsidiary Twitch streaming all games as well with Prime Video.

Prime Exclusive games (2022–present)

[edit]

2022 season

[edit]

Thursday Night Football started exclusively streaming on Prime Video in 2022. However, the games were also simulcast by local affiliates in teams' home markets. While the entire schedule was released on May 12, the first Amazon-exclusive Thursday Night game, ChargersChiefs, was unveiled during the first round of the 2022 NFL draft on April 28. All games aired on Thursday nights at 8:15 PM ET. Because of NFL rules, all games were simulcast on an over-the-air television station in the home markets of the teams playing.[19] A free, legal simulcast was also available from this season onwards on Twitch's Prime Video stream on desktops and laptops for those not in the local markets, but was not available on mobile devices due to NFL+.
