Historic First Season of Exclusive Thursday Night Football on Prime Video Delivers Younger Audiences, Increased Engagement The first season of exclusive Thursday Night Football coverage on Prime Video delivered a historic run of firsts, streaming milestones, and sports media breakthroughs.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the inaugural season of TNF on Prime Video featured the most streamed NFL contests ever and attracted audiences that were considerably younger, watched more minutes of the game, and commanded higher household incomes than NFL viewers on broadcast and cable platforms. Thursday Night Football finished the season with the youngest median age of any NFL broadcast package since 2013 and enjoyed a double-digit jump over the previous season among hard-to-reach P18-34-year-old viewers.
Amazon has earned a strong reputation for making big bets, and given the unprecedented scale of this challenge and the hallowed place that NFL coverage holds among millions of fans, the launch of Thursday Night Football ranks high among our most ambitious enterprises, says Jay Marine, vice president, Prime Video, and global head of sports. We are only at the beginning of a long-term mission, but are ecstatic with the results and achievements of this first season, bringing millions of viewers to Prime Video every week.
We are incredibly proud of our inaugural exclusive season of TNF, and gratified by the positive response from sports fans, especially hard-to-reach younger fans, says Marie Donoghue, vice president of global sports video, Amazon. Along with a top-notch game broadcast, fans are increasingly looking for fresh voices, optionality, and personalization, all of which we delivered, and will continue to build upon in the coming seasons.
Each Thursday throughout the 2022 season, Prime Video presented a best-in-class NFL presentation with Al Michaels, Kirk Herbstreit, and Kaylee Hartung handling game coverage, as well as unprecedented ways for fans to tailor their viewing experience with multiple alternate streams, instant access to Next Gen Stats powered by AWS, and options such as Rapid Recap. The TNF on Prime Video pregame and postgame talent-including host Charissa Thompson, Tony Gonzalez, all-star rookies Ryan Fitzpatrick, Richard Sherman, and Andrew Whitworth, and contributors Taylor Rooks and Michael Smith-made an instant connection with fans, helping to drive more than 285 million video views across TNF's social channels throughout the year.
Below, please find some Prime Video viewership highlights from the first of 11 seasons as the exclusive home of Thursday Night Football. These figures are inclusive of viewership from out of home, over the air and NFL .
According to Amazon's first-party viewership measurement, Thursday Night Football on Prime Video averaged 11.3 million viewers (AMA) during the 2022 season.
According to Nielsen Media Research figures alone, Thursday Night Football on Prime Video averaged 9.58 million viewers per game (including OTA and OOH) during the 2022 season.
Thursday Night Football's average audience crossed the 10-million mark six times during the 2022 season, ranking TNF games among the most watched events in all of television.
According to Nielsen, the 15-game average of each TNF stream's peak viewership was 11.30 million.
Throughout the 2022 season, fans watching TNF on Prime Video held a median age of 47 years old, which is seven years younger than the average median age of viewers watching the NFL on linear TV.
TNF on Prime Video finished the season with the lowest median age for a full-season slate of games since 2013, and registered the largest median age gap on record between a stand-alone NFL package and the rest of the NFL packages.
